SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing

Agreed,
but it doesnt make the rules correct. Without it we would have an ever closer league this year! |

Lots of things are not correct in RL , but the clubs voted for it , it's called democracy |

Yep, although Featherstone are three points from the top of the Championship, without gaining a single bonus point. Mind you, if they had got four, in their five defeats, they would have been top!
Luckily, Gateshead have only picked up three, in their nine defeats! |

| Just think last game of season with 3 or 4 teams involved in relegation, and we are all there with the calculators
Even better 2 teams playing each other, and one needs just a bonus point to stay up, and the other needs a win and clear of 12pts.

Still, scrap relegation and then we can all have a tea party on the last day 
On the subject of the last day, surely Sky can't be considering having one of the relegation candidates play three days before the rest? Would be a sham - should all kick off at the same time to avoid 'convenient' results etc.

I'd suggest 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, or with in 6, and 0 for a loss.
12 is too many, having to score twice is wrong, but with RL being a game where posession is all, the one turn over difference would be enough.

 I thought that was voting for what you wanted without threat of reprisals. It was enforced with threats as was the franchising system. Not difficult if you have a small pool of voters with one who tells the rest if they don,t that they,ll pull the plug.
Does anyone seriously think the chairmen of professional rl voted for non promotion to the top league without coercion ? Democracy is one man one vote. |

Bonus point = failure with reward.
The only team collecting anything should be a winner, losers are called that for a reason.
If both teams slog it for a draw fair enough but collecting points for "only just losing" is a farce IMO.

Or perhaps its just that you don't, and won't accept the word of anyone that says differently. Given that the promotion/relegation cycle nearly broke our club, I would have thought that you'd have embraced it.
Put it another way... if the word 'franchise' was removed, and the idea was replaced by a 2 season period of grace from relegation for promoted clubs that depended to an extent on their ammenities and on their finances being in order, would you look any differently at it?

I would have no problem with the promoted club into the top league having an exemption from relegation in their first season there.
There are several clubs who with the current system have zero chance of getting there and that is the problem.
Regarding stadia that, during the current economic situation, is a bit of a red herring imo. |
