Other Championship Clubs

Quote: wrencat1873 "Do you actually think that from the point where the new criteria was announced that London could get all of their ducks in a row and achieve and A grade ?
Yes, that could have done things differently and maybe they should have.

However, the net result is that not only have they been relegated but, in hacking off their millionaire backer, as a sport, "we" have killed off pro RL in the Capital.
Is this what the RFL, SL and IMG wanted to achieve ?'"

I don’t know if you’re a London fan or not but it seems you want the criteria to work and wait for London until they are ready. I can’t fathom why.

Let’s just forget teams like us, Toulouse, York, Bulls who are all better clubs imho just sit out for a few years while London get dispensation in the top flight to ‘get their ducks in a row’. Afterall making it uniform and fair across the board is overrated.

The RFL wants a top league of the best teams in and off the field and to encourage and give set criteria with direction to all clubs willing to achieve that and progress. So yes I do think that’s what IMG want to achieve.

Your entitled to your opinion ofcourse but why are you feeling London have been hard done by? They won promotion in last years format and were honoured this season to compete in SL. Well in advance of their final last year they and every other team knew the format was changing and what it would look like with indicative scores. I don’t see anything unjust or that stinks but why do you?
