What do those divisions look like?

The RFL Bulls would snap your hand off, no way are they in the top 10 clubs (apart from attendance), they are likely to finish just above Widnes and Salford this season.
You are Nigel Wood and I claim £5

That was based on last seasons standings...

I know Trinity are often the favourites to take drop into the division below (again) with hypothetical discussions regarding reducing the league size, but to omit them completely is a new one.

Ha sorry! I knew something wasn't quite right!

Lets just hopo that some warning is given to any proposed change and that the teams can play for their place in the top flight ?
Or will we have a cull after the end of the season "because the TV deal was too good to miss".
De ja vu anybody ?
Its like Uncle Maurice is back in charge !

Someone just jumped up and down on my grave when i read that

They could, but they wouldnt want to. Sky are all about elite sport. Even the coverage they give to the lower leagues in football is pretty poor, they show 75 matches across the 3 leagues compared to 70 Super League matches a year.

SL should grow not shrink, with the move to conferences combating the rise in games.

Surely you mean TV is all about elite sport, so why have the Championships on?

No I mean Sky is about elite sport, TV outside of Sky/ESPN arent interested in pretty much anything regular. Bar the champions league and FA cup there is no club sport really shown on terrestrial TV regularly throughout the year. There are the international competitions but outside that. Not a lot. Outside Sky and ESPN TV isnt about club sport.

The championships are a second tier competition on a second tier channel. A channel which picks up more niche sports/competitions and caters for those fans who are prepared to pay a little bit extra, whereas Sky look to pick up as many people as possible to as bigger package as possible. Its how they make their money. They arent going to make more money by bringing down the upper echelons of SL to bring up the lower echelons of the Championship, just so they have 2 leagues instead of one.

I think Super League should grow not shrink. I would love to see a 16 team league, maybe 18 in the future.

The RFL should get some advice from the NRL, their expansion system seems much better than ours, read up on a lot of it the other day, interesting stuff. The RFL need to do away with their approach to unrealistic expansion (Build it and they will come, even if they have no money) and concentrate on growing Super League.

Not disagree, as I put the 10 team league idea is just another making the best of what we have rather than trying harder to get what we want
