I could live with a 10 team league if there were going to be fewer games and so increase the competitiveness. But RL clubs with current crowds can't survive, let alone thrive, on 9 games a year so I'm against it.

In fact I'd be tempted to go the other way and go with a 20 team league but with no P&R.

For the current format 12 is about right. Less and clubs will struggle to make money even more than they do now. more and the teams coming up to play in the middle eights won't be good enough to compete.

Personally I would be looking to go to a 14 than league with Leigh and probably Bradford joining the top table. Then in a years time have a look and see if anyone needs to be replaced or if any other championship teams could add something to the top flight. No P&R and a top 8 playoff format the same as the Nrl.

hudds v hull kr next saturday to decide who stays in sl

loser gets another go...

Unless it's Huddersfield winning by less than 4 points. Then it's the loser who stays up and the winner has to play the MPG

That'd be a kick in the teeth, wouldn't it?

Huddersfield would be 2 pts ahead of Rovers, points difference would be irrelevant!!

Hull Kingston Rovers 6 4 2 0 213 119 94 8
Huddersfield Giants 6 4 2 0 234 144 90 8

Would be the biggest ever kick in the teeth, if it wasn't an impossibility.

Rovers or Hudds could still pinch 2nd place if results went the right way.

Sod that, 3rd place is the place to be

huddersfield survive phew , dont want to go through that again..hope we learn from 2016 mistakes.

so hull kr or salford????? (london)

What a shame.

sorry to disappoint, it should have been your lot in the middle 8's so think yourself lucky salford got points deducted.

Indeed. 3 times this season would easily have been 4
