We had licensing for 7 and automatic one up one down for 12. Key FACTS from that is sponsors won't interested and fans stopped been interested which is what I fear will happen here.

| You're comparing different sports though, football has no real comparison, it's a sport commercially and numerically beyond any other.

| Even if the RFL read these articles it wouldn't make any difference. The majority of fans don't want it and the players voted no to it, but they don't matter. The most worrying part of the articles for me is that the TV lost interest in the system.

SKY won't be interested in the second tier. Another problem is we have a seven week round robin of the top 8, we'll be seeing the same teams every week more or less. Then we have the play-offs and see Wigan/Warrington for the the fourth or 5th time that year.
I hated it when we used to play Leeds 5 or 6 times evey year as that big derby magic went away. Thankfully we're now back to twice a year.
It seems like the RFL have thought "well the best games are Between the top clubs (which there are) so they seem to think more games of them will improve the quality. But I think they are going to end up saturating it as they did with The play-offs. I've seen some blinding games between the bottom and top clubs when the bottom club was fighting off actual relegation. Not this down for 7 weeks to win promotion play in the same league again.

| If what I've read on twitter is correct then it seems the majority of the chairman that voted this in are, for want of a better word, the lesser teams, maybe the Wakefield, Bradford, London and Castleford fans could direct their moaning at their own chairmen.

Makes sense really. They probably fancy their chances against the teams in the league below and rather than risk one or two teams facing definite relegation, they prefer the scenario presented by the split league which could, and probably will, end up generally with no one moving up or down. I'd wager the so called 'lesser' teams who voted it did it for the sake of self-preservation as they surely couldn't have voted for it on the basis of it being a good idea...

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

There is a fair chance that Wakefield, London and Bradford may have been "encouraged" to vote in favour due to being "helped" in recent times.
