Are they gonna relegate teams or just keep the same bunch and make the league bigger? (or a mix of both)
if so (with the relegation) who would you money put the most to get the chop at this moment in time?

forgive me if this is a boring/overstated post but my levels of expertise in RL are at a very early stage!

1 team from The championship will be in for definate, will be interesting to see this time if they have the balls to drop anyone out.


For a full explanation send a PM to Starbug the grandad of the championship.

Same 14 + 2 more.

The RFL probably daren't kick out a current SL team with the announcement mid season because what would stop that team not bothering in games or the fans rioting/protesting/not bother turning up?

Unless there is a hike in Sky money the SL clubs will not vote for 2 extra clubs otherwise they lose out.

The most likely option is 1 down and 1 up. Of those going down the C grades with poor grounds (bar the welsh) will be most vunerable. Could be 2 down if there are 2 clear poor performers.

When the licences were awarded the RFL indicated that 'promises / plans for a new ground' would not be enough next time.

If a few clubs still have poor facilities then their on field performances / gates / development / finances will be key.

When seagulls follow a trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. A French artist _______________________________________ *Championship Prediction Competition: 2009 (1st):

They specifically said they would not announce any relegation mid-season in the case they have decided one (for the reason you mention). I think that the RFL will almost need to relegate a team if they want to maintain their credibility towards the clubs. If they don't, it could be interepreted as the fact that they won't dare relegate teams from what is de facto a close shop. As a result clubs would take the RFL recommendations less seriously. Relegating one club is the best way to ensure that all the other will follow closely the RFL rules and recommendations.

There is no better way to prove that relegation is a credible threat for existing clubs that to prove that it can happens in 2012.

I always though that the next franchise will incorporate an established M62 corridor team currently in the championship plus a French team. Nothing has changed my mind. 2014 could be very different IMO.
