I think the problem is that looking at the current structure and we just don't have the structure for 1 up 1 down.

Looking at the Championship we seem to have a lack of quality (what the aussies would call park teams) to come up and you would suspect the bottom three would not improve if relegated.

That being said I am not sure a licence or Super 8s league structure would do any better. Changing how teams come in out out of the league just feels like rearranging the deck chairs, we need something more than this to make Superleague and professional RL in general work.

It taught them you need deeper pockets..

Gausch has deep pockets but has at least been made to spend a big sum on a Catalans Academy to save his SL backside.......

Whilst Folau finds something else to do playing for Southport Tigers.......

Gausch sailed close to the wind with Folau but he's been put in his place and has had to re-open the French academy.....

Twenty odd years ago we decided to switch to Summer rugby and have teams in areas merged from one or two existing teams. At that stage we were the best game in town as there was nothing else to televise in Summer. Instead we let the Chairmen come up with a stupid licensing system that was never followed up. Now we are up against Rugby Union that has turned professional, football that seems to only have a 4 week off season (that is when there isn't a World Cup or Euros), cricket has 20-20 and 100 ball competition. Forget restructure. WE had our chance and we blew it.

Seems like their academy has ben granted a license too.
Their position appears stronger by the day. Are you still certain that this particular "guest club" is getting kicked out.
Also you suggest that Catalan have had their wings clipped over Folau and yet, their public position is that they are trying to force him to return.
So, in summary, it doesn't appear that the aim is an all English Super league and that Catalan and their academy are here to stay.
