Currently the Championship is the most competitive wide open league in RL.
Basically on field it works.
Off field clubs struggle massively for support and media coverage.
By closing the league are we led to believe that the clubs and the RFL feel this will force gates up and increase media exposure, equally will adding 2 clubs increase the intensisty of the competiton
For me those 2 questions are very important and ones that the games governing body and the club chairmen need to look at in great detail before making any kind of decision.
