| Quote bewareshadows="bewareshadows"To respond to the OP.
Such a rule change would need to be ratified by the SL clubs, like all other rules. Given we have already had round 1, a change in operational rules this late would be so far from being possible that it's not really a serious consideration.
Changing the rules to possibly relegate 3 teams this year is not really going to happen in any world.'"
Fair enough regarding it being too late to consider it, I suppose.
As for 'changing the rules to possibly relegate 3 teams this year', I've no idea what you're taking about.

Steady on now...he doesn't speak for even a minority of us. For what its worth the tension value of that game alone made it entertaining. Its rare that any games in any sport with that much riding on them produce games of high quality. But tension can be every bit as important, and entertaining for the neutral.
As an aside, these two teams tonight should be grateful that London exist.....they both have a slight sniff of staying up.

Well if it's such a good idea, why don't they introduce it this year?
Instead of a straight relegation of the bottom two, how about we automatically relegate the bottom club and then have a play-off, 12v13, for the other relegation spot.
I mean it's not like we have an 'even' fixture list is it - because of the Magic Weekend. And if a play-off is deemed good enough to decide the Champions (where you could theoretically win it from 8th!), what's wrong with using it at the other end of the table?
And what a massive game it could be.'"
given that 12 -v- 13 could very likely be Wakefield -v- Bradford, I think I have seen enough tonight without seeing either team again all year.

Worst televised game in recent memory, in front of a massive 4000 crowd now Wakey have stooped giving a ticket away with every £10 worth of shopping at sainsburys.
A real terrible advert for SL

| Smokey was always going to post a statement like that, given his utter abhorrence of everything related to P&R. He's the biggest troll on here and that's saying something!

| One swallow doesn't make a summer and all that, but you have to fear for Wakey on the evidence of that. Absolutely clueless in attack. It's just so reminiscent of Hull under Agar. Pass it aimlessly down the line until you eventually bore the opposition into submission, and if that doesn't work give it Manu (in this case Lauitiiti). The difference is at Hull he had a bit more quality to work with, and you could usually rely on a piece of magic by Manu or Briscoe.
I know it's only one game and Bradford didn't look too clever themselves, but there's real cause for concern there.

Apologies, I didn’t realise it was still so traumatic to you.
I sure I could have given many more examples, but that one still sticks in my mind.

| Huge difference in playing standards between the Wakey V Cas relegation battle of 2006 and the utter dross on show this evening between Wakey and Bradford.
The game is utter turd in comparison to even a mere half a decade ago.
That's the real legacy of the era of franchised mediocrity (2009-13).
Lots of hard work ahead to repair all the damage and turn it around.
