Sigh, you originally stated that the bottom teams had better start to perform, otherwise they will be playing the top Championship teams.

All I’m saying is, four SL teams will have to, even if all twelve SL clubs finished on equal points!

As to not playing the game, what’s that got to do with the price of fish?

Fish and chips on a friday? Didn't think of that actually.

End of the 2015 season lets say the second tier of 8 are:

Widnes
Castleford
Bradford
Castleford

London
Wakefield
Leigh
Halifax

Operating on a salary cap far far less than those in superleague, would they realistically stand a chance of gaining promotion?

We wont know that until we see it will we. but you just keep backing up your posts with assumptions.

Damn I wish I had your name. I didn't even want this change (I'd rather have franchising done properly), but I don't like seeing poor arguments against this thing I didn't want either

the biggest problem with super league is not enough money for all the teams, so how does spreading that cash more thinly not become a problem? or how about those teams who are now going to spend more hoping they can avoid relegation? or how about the 22 rounds that are truly becoming friendlies apart from the bottom teams?

you see it every year in the challenge cup.

As opposed to the current system, where you need to get into the top eight to be in the playoffs. ????

Does this mean we'll have a 2nd set of fixtures drawn after 23 rounds? Can't see that going wrong, I mean how difficult could it be to arrange a trip to Catalans or Tolouse at a few days notice...in August.

what the bottom of super league beating the top of championship. No not really. Fevs last 3 challenge cup games

beat Castleford
lost to wigan 30 -16 (hardly a pasting)
Just lost away to London

im not arguing to keep the old format but what i am saying is this new one is just as flawed if not a lot more. Top 4 and if we have to have relegation to keep the championship clubs happy just bring back normal promotion and relegation 1 team a season. At least RFL maybe able to financial afford to subsides one team a year in the championship.

I completely get what you say,i don't think you do though, 4 teams will play 4 championship teams because they are the worst 4 and deserve it.

4 championship teams will play these bottom 4 because they DESERVE too.



Well no you couldn't, someone who has played and been on the end of a "good hiding" by a so called "lesser" team would not write something like this.

Half, that's been optimistic. 7 weeks in a row it's pay on a gate. You have a family of four, how the hell do you think families will pay for this? Playing in front of half empty stadiums, wow that's progress!!!

Break for internationals anyone?

haven't you also just said fev have won the championship for the last 2 years or something?

ok so you beat one super league team in 3 attempts and lost to possible the worse super league side for the past 10 years last year hardly a solid argument.
