I think it would be fairer to say everyone preferred the system to a closed shop system.
I personally would prefer a 14 team SL, with promotion, demotion decided by a home and away playoff game between the top champ team and the bottom SL team.
I would also like to see the top 8 SL teams go into a straight knockout comp at the end of the season to decide a Grand Final champ.

If Catalan go down all the system will change to suit the Frenchmen

people gave Jamie Peacock loads of grief last year when he slated the current format.

now the boot is on the other foot??

How many have complained?

Like it as it is, means a lot of the results in matches matter late in the season

The Watcher believes that the format does work & he is supported by the facts, 2 championship clubs promoted in the last 2 years.

Who gives a $hite? As long as Leigh stay up!

Continuing to lead by example.
