As you say all clubs should be doing this, not just because the Tv deal may be less, but its more likely to be less in crowds keep going down it will guarantee a lesser tv deal. Big crowds gives us bigger bargaining power. but as the clubs have no voted in their preferred system they have no excuses.

Can you provide a link to your source?

The "source" was Michael Carter himself. I think it was as part of a conversation on Twitter.

Forgive me I didn’t realise I was in the presence of Wakefield’s accountant

What and you are!

Sky would probably argue that their viewing figures are lowered by clubs scheduling in competition with the televised fixture on a Friday. It's a real dilemma. But I don't think Leeds, for example, would be willing to see the reduction in hospitality sales and catering takings that a shift to, say, sunday would entail. The same almost certainly applies top other clubs too.

How is relegation gonna work next year?

If it is just one up one down on league position then they are almost certainly going to struggle, if they have some kind of playoff then Salford can just buy a bunch of players for the last month of the season, same way they survived this year.

The team finishing bottom of the Super League will be relegated (Salford or London).

Promotion from the Championship will be decided by a 5 team play off.

We signed 2 players.
They have both signed for next year also.
