The RFL want the fans of Championship clubs , and the clubs themselves to focus less on a ' SL is all ' attitude and just enjoy playing in ' Worth winning in their own right competitions '

Maybe they ought to tell SKY , because all they ever talk about is ' Ticking a SL application box ' whenever they mention the NRC final

If the RFL brought back P&R the championship would become worth winning once more.

ssssshhhh. You've done it now! The championship clubs are supposed to quietly wither and die. And if you say different then you are a "flatcapper"

PS my good man starry - you know whether it's vibrant and worth winning. Why bang on about SL box ticking if it is? All roads lead to expensive and failed licence application

I can't help comparing my elation at the end of 80 amazing minutes of the 2006 NL1 GF with the sight of some widnes fans hearing their teams name read out icon_rolleyes.gif

That's the thing though RM , SKY are fixated with SL , to the point that that is all they keep mentioning , and people wonder why fans end up thinking like they do , you can guarantee they will mention it countless times on Sunday , and as soon as it is obvious which team has won , they will mention it again straight away

I meant it was a great feeling winning a game so important rather than just being told "you are in"

Problem is there is so little media for the CC that it isn't surprising it seems meaningless. TBF I don;t know of many 2nd divisions without P&R that get much media or fans, generally they are there as feeders for the top division.

Yeh well bully for you, unfortunately for us that was the path to SL that the RFL set out for us. Either way, the outcome is the same and we deserved that moment of elation just as any other fan would if they were put in that position.

I must admit I don't think the Championship or the NR Cup is done any favours when Sky refer to it more as a route to SL rather than success in its own right.

The NRC is a mid season shot in the arm for Fax and Leigh, so im guessing they'll take the money and run.
This box ticking nonsense is irrelavent though, if Red Hall wants you, you'll get in.

Super Duper League just keeps getting better and better icon_rolleyes.gif
Or is that revenue from Sponsorship and nicely laminated Marketing portfolios are getting better and better?

Just get rid of the boxes and give us some god dam dignity back.

Thats why I won't watch any Championship games when we get evicted from the closed shop next week. To me all games are meaningless, no promotion has totally devalued the competition. What exactly is there to get the emotions going? I've always dreamed of the possability of big days at Wembley or Old Trafford that dream is closed if your in the lower leagues!

Ideally it should be both but unfortunately the competition does not get significant until the semi finals, its something of a chore up until then with too many dead games.

That said I am sure both fax and Leigh fans will enjoy the final a lot. Playing it in Blackpool is a great idea as the day becomes something of a celebration of rugby league.

The NRC final and the Championship GF. Great day out and we had a hell of a game last year against Fev - golden point drop goal winner. The match/gameday is what you make it. Forget the politics and concentrate on the Rugby League. Why else do you fork out cash at the turstile? When your team is at the top and winning it's still a great feeling.
