| It makes for an interesting league next year and potentially a new dawn for RL in the northern hemisphere.

| Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"Even if Catalans stay up maybe average crowds in the Championship won't fall all that much because of the skewed effect of Toronto's home fixtures if they're getting 6-7k and rising? If Catalans come down they'll probably still bring in 4-5k for their home games.
Could be chaotic booking flights for the middle 8s. Getting part time players to take all that time off for 2 extra overseas away fixtures too may be a problem.'"
Not sure there will be a middle 8's next season - are there not rumblings of a restructure for the 2019 season

If so, they need to decide quickly during the closed season. We need to know what we are playing for at the beginning of the season although I suspect that, as usual, the RFL and SL will wait until 75% of the season has gone and then change the rules to fit their hidden agenda in order to assist their favoured teams and restrict the others.

It was a big problem for Barrow Raiders who had to play at Toronto twice this season, players were having to take 6 days holiday leave from there jobs on top of working visa problems.

 We do - because if not it leads to all sorts of rumour mongering and tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists making stuff up.
Seriously though, it surely can't be beyond the wit of the clubs and RFL to agree some structures and stability for a few years can it? If every club knew where it stood you would get more chance to do proper long term planning (unheard of in RL).

When did this happen? Can you give some examples?

| They need to set there stall out now as teams will be preparing for next year. Some teams buy in and strengthen just before the 8's, if there is no 8's and its a straight P&R then teams will change there strategy. That's just one example.

Come on, there is one very obvious example but, the plan failed spectacularly.

| The Championship looks an exciting competition next year, it's a shame Bradford won't get be apart of it. Hopefully Sky or another broadcaster gives it some coverage.

| We don't deserve to be in it next season and the last thing we need is to be kept in it again like last year.

| I wasn't suggesting Bradford should be kept in the Championship, I was just saying it's a shame your not going to be in alongside some other big clubs like, London, Toronto, Toulouse + the MPG loser.
