Yes I would, and have watched Wires all through the mediocre (at best) times and still enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong though I love where we have come to now ![]()
Fair debate. When we reached the top 6 and got into the play offs for the first time, this was an achievement, and felt like we earned it. Finishing into the bottom half of the league and still having a chance is just plain daft!
Top 4 would be better, top 6 I can compromise, not top 8 though.
I also loved relegation, and remember one of the best neutral games which drew a massive crowd was Wakey V Cas, when the loser was relegated! I'm sure drew nearly 20k attendance and a mass on TV. Ok it's not great for the club that gets relegated, but it gives the bottom of the table more meaning (and would enervate more interest in Championship) and the sport as a whole

Where were all these big crowds when there was promotion and relegation?
From what I remember it was always the likes of Salford, Wakefield, Cas, London, Hudds, Widnes, us one year fighting the drop. They never had much in terms of crowds...?

I do wonder how long it will be before sky seduces union completely & gives league the cold shoulder .'"
I could be wrong, but I think they have lost it to BT Vision next year? |

Yep, BT now have exclusive live coverage of the competition and apparently they are planning to overhaul the presentation, adding new things to it. |

Sky Sports seem to have little to no interest in RL outside of Super League and are refusing to match BT's offers for the RU. It's odd given that rugby is their second most popular spectator sport.

They've had to pay a silly amount for soccer recently, the F1 won't have come cheap and advertising revenue is down. They will always stick with RL as it is their summer sport. |
