Voted for today by SL clubs, yet to decide how the two twelves will work

straight 2 up and 2 down.......SL1 full time and SL 2 full or part time (clubs choice)......1 up 1 down to Championshp

This presumably means that box-ticking by winning the Northern Rail and reaching the Championship Grand Final over the last two/three seasons is now worthless?

Good,now all we need is to get rid of duel contracts and twinings/partnership and the jobs a good un

Good.

Will be tough however for us next season.

I think another vital move is to scrap twinning.

Wonder if this is the last season for the NRC. Hope not but imo it should be only for the bottom 2 leagues and on a straight knock out basis..

Well I said when franchising'licenscing was introduced it would never work and cause the games decline.

Another vital thing for top clubs to realise is that TV money must be spread between All pro clubs otherwise we will soon end up with only 12 pro clubs and then the pro game is finished imo.

Think all clubs in SL2 would need to be full time and not just those that come down from SL1 otherwise they would find it hard to compete and it would be like before when the full time clubs just get promoted .

it will be superb seeing 'small SL CLUBS' bricking it next year !!!!!
HA HA HA
Bet it's not the 'bottom 2' relegated, RFL will choose. We can't lose London or French/Oz Dragons can we ???

I can see London being relegated to SL2 and Catalan won't finish in the bottom 2 so they won't get relegated.

Let it be decided on the field. Clubs now have 12 months+ notice. No excuses.

Someone from RFL said the other day on GMR that no one will be exempt from the drop from now on. But they have changed their minds before have'nt they.

Yep, its a good move IMO.

that's the right idea in theory, the problem being who would fund it.
Cant see the SL elite spreading their share for the sake of RL unfortunately

We need to get put gates up to 3000 in that division to compete for promotion so its up to the good folk of L,B&B to show they want a SL club
If we can't do that then we must accept RL is all but dead as the towns sport, so it will be up to all fans show their true colours aNd put up or shut up

The Watcher shouts hallelujah! At last some common sense shown by those who control thr great game but is it to late? Have all the teams below SL beome dead horses that have been flogged to death some time ago or could there be life left in a few of them? Our own team has seen support dwindle, over the years of franchising, to a very low level but we have come back from worse periods of history. Perhaps we will rise again from the smoulding remains of a once great rugby league fire that burned within this town of Leigh who knows but what is certain it has to be better than it was with no P&R.
