Quote: The Phantom Horseman "Yes that was incorrect, good spot. My point was about the relative tasks getting into SL via promotion vs via franchising, but you're quite right to point that out.'"


No worries, we receive enough bad press and negative feedback, without folk besmirching our reputation further. icon_biggrin.gif

Looking at 2018, with the possibility of Toronto, Leigh, and Toulouse being in the top 4 of the Championship, it could mean that 3 current SL teams will be in serious threat of relegation next season.

Given a 12 team SL, then a 25% change of SL teams for 2019 would be a significant shift in the game.

It's about to get really interesting, and now they want to change the structure. They just can't follow something through!

September 2018 could be twitchy bum time for several SL teams, not just from. the 8's, but also from licence criteria.
Teams like Cas and Wakey need to start building these new stadiums and not just producing artist drawing.

It could be 14 teams from a possible 18 to 20 applicants. We could loose 5 or even 6 from the current 12 !

So you would jettison half of the current Super League, that makes sense d040.gif
Toronto will probably be favourites for a SL spot.
However, just as Leigh found it difficult to gain promotion from The Championship through the current format, any other club will also find it far from straight forward.

Dropping half of the current top flight, in the HOPE of something better, would be quite ridiculous and it would have people leaving the game in droves.

Nice one Nigel but, think again.

If they ended up with 18-20 very strong applications then there may be a good reason to expand SL to 16 teams like the NRL. Providing they would be good 16 teams, rather than just based off facilities etc.

Quote: SaleSlim "HKR fan Woody by any chance?

Slight difference in circumstances don't you think between the 2 games?
Your second to last sentence was ultimately my point, MK showed no class flouncing around with his big fake cheque.....completely unnecessary and without any dignity for someone in a senior role within a professional sports club.

Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Providing they would be good 16 teams, '"


Thats my worry in many respects. There's still a question as to whether we have Super League-standard clubs in the Championship, or Championship-standard clubs in Super League.

I'd be reluctant to see SL expand too much as I don't think there is enough talent there to sustain a competitive league and drive standards up. I know this isn't a universally popular view (and no doubt people will argue that it's easy for a Leeds fan to say this - and it probably is), but it isn't necessarily a bad thing to make our top league somewhat exclusive.

Wire Quin at work:



If it was straight P&R Hull KR would go up Widnes down. Other than the teams what would the difference be with regards player uncertainty which Cooke refers?

Ex-f*cking-actly!!! Jesus H..... ATEOTD, relegation is relegation regardless of whether it's the team that finishes bottom or whether it's the team that loses the MPG. Clubs have to rebuild and some players have to deal with new reduced contracts. For me, the team that finishes top of the league is the best and should be crowned champions(Cas) and the team that finishes bottom is the worst (Widnes) and fully deserves to go down.

Whilst the GF is a great spectacle it's just fundamentally and ethically wrong IMO, as is the MPG. All this BS about the MPG ruining livelihoods & mental health is just utter cr@p.
