Quote: Cokey "That's one aspect of the current structure that's a farce.
How do we determine who's not good enough to stay up after 23 rounds finishing 9th 10th or 11th when the bottom club has now survived? This is why neither club on Saturday should go down. I know that the structure is what it is, and now there are discussions to change it. I hope they come up with a good fair system with P & R. Personally i think there will be 14 SL teams from 2019, how P & R will work , i just don't know, but my opinion is top of Championship to replace bottom of SL.'"
The system is fair, look at it a different way, after 23 rounds the season carries on for the 4 SL clubs who will carry on playing each other, either at home or away, if we take the points from the first 23 games and add the results in after the 3 games in the 8's the division would now look
Warrington 26 points
Widnes 15 points
Catalan 15 points
Leigh 14 points
So in all matches played between SL clubs we have the lowest points return.
The SL opposition is replaced by what should be 4 relativley easier games against teams from a lower division to sort out their league standings at the end of the 7 matches.
