London have neither

Pretentious pillock

Who cares?

You may think so but isn't the main point that those sports do just fine without promotion and relegation.

One tries to argue with that sports needs promotion and relegation yet there is enough evidence out there which proves otherwise.



Does that happen in the NRL. I fail to see how having no P&R means clubs cannot strive to do better?

We have a salaried cap competition so in theory should be able to produce a competition where a team can finish 8th and still reach the Grand Final like the Queensland cowboys have done so. 8th plays 1st in Australia.

How can that be not be called exciting?

Leeds Rhino's finished 9th last season. Now in a licensing model can anyone tell me those players and staff would be any less hungry to bounce back this year?

Surely you don't believe that Leeds would of just accepted 9th and this year not gave a damn and happy to finish closer to the bottom?

But what about the championship

would you say this if you was a fev, fax or bulls fan. Probably not franchiseimg will kill us off like it did a few clubs last time

Think of the away days London, Toronto, Toulouse and maybe Perpignan, oh yes and Batley, Fev and Halifax etc

You cant sight Bradford as failing under franchising, they have failed under every system, even before franchising was ever dreamed up.

On a more serious note, promoted clubs would have more chance of survival if it was 1 up 1 down, which could still be decided by a MPG but, this would leave a conundrum as to how to fill the fixture programme, unless we had the innovative play everyone twice (both home and away) and then have play off semi finals and a GF or, declare the top side as champions

Indeed , feel free to move to those other country's to watch those other sports

It's a free world

Not counting Bulls because they have had great crowds before their downfall but fev fax Batley and most of the other teams do not have good gates look at London's gates crap and a lot of the grounds are crap

While those clubs and others don't have large attendances , which Championship grounds are crap ?

Compared to Rovers back in 2006 of course

I believe Sheffield's ground was the crappiest in the league this season

That was has you said 2006 not 2017 its 11 yrs ago

Back in the day eh! 2006 when the mighty Leigh played in the Wembley of the north Hilton Park.

Very even game at half time, Leigh Leading 6-4. Not a classic but a thrilling game, good job Myler's having a good game as Walsh has been shocking. If Catalan stop playing conservatively should win.

Catalans and Walsh in particular keep turning the ball back inside on the drop off, its getting them nowhere. The only time they've moved the ball they've scored.

James Clare is a smashing lad and a good player, chuffed for him after a horror injury a has ruined his season.
