Quote Fatboys Limb="Fatboys Limb"That's the biggest load of nonsense on this thread (and there's plenty of competition on that front too?!
The lack of P&R doesn't mean that games don't matter. Sport is about beating what's in front of you.
If that was the case no SL clubs would care about winning the SL title as they wouldn't get promoted because of it.
What matters is sporting your team, enjoy our sport and challenging for trophies - all of which can be done in the Championship and SL without P&R.
The way that RL is run is embarrassing and frustrating at times but it should never detract from the enjoyment of watching 16 blokes slugging it out on the pitch.
And, just in case you wondered, I am in favour of P&R - I just don't cry about the lack of it as much as some.'"
Sorry matey you seem to be totally out of touch.
I love the game of rugby league and have been an advocate for the sport for many years. Recent developments and the direction of the game, including the P&R issue, are ruining the game below SL.
Many people who have been watching the game for 10s of years say the same. There are little incentives to win games. Lack of incentives leads to lack of interest. Look at the dwindling attendances.
Winning SL is an incentive - in that it means you are the best in the country.
A number of years ago both RU and Cricket did not have P&R and their sports were dead on their feet. Many changes later, including P&R, and these sports have been completely transformed.
Try explaining to most sportsmen, that a team competing in the champonship will get promoted, before the season is over, and the team who finish the top will not - unless it is the same team. Unbelievable! Incredible! So it doesn't matter - unless you believe its a tick in the box
