Quote: Mr Slithers "

Your blantant support of the franchise system baffles me, I can't see why it's good for the game as a whole.'"



Could it be that SmokeyTA follows one of the favoured clubs and will never be in the position of Wakey (cas, salford , hkr, bradford all ground issues as well ).
This 'Im all right Jack' attitude is helping the RFL kill Rugby League as a sport.

SmokeyTA you should be ashamed

Quote: Slugger McBatt "I suppose franchising a mix of the two. All the current super league clubs got there on playing merit, as the first franchises just gave licences to the top twelve plus the grand finalists. To get up there from the championship, you have to play your way there by winning something. It's the thought of going down when you are mid-table that is galling (although I doubt that will be our issue this year!).'"


Slugger , you weren't having to compete with a club that was plainly out of it's depth but being allowed to sign player that were ineligible to other clubs and paying them ' privately ' , it really galled at the time , I do however have a huge amount of sympathy for your plight , it is something we all pointed out when licensing was first mentioned

That's a fair point. I suppose what I mean is if everyone had played by the rules

Quote: Mr Slithers "For me, the game has always been about excitement, not money. I want to watch a sport that gives all teams the chance to be recognised for a sucessful season by getting to play in the league above.'"


All teams? Or just those in the semipro ranks? Where's the demand that the team finishing bottom of Championship 1 be relegated to the amateur ranks to make way for the winner of the RLCN?

Don't think London or Catalans originally qualified in any way other than location.

Where is the demand for clubs in the RLCN to be promoted to the Championships ?

If there was a demand for it , then I dont think you'd have many saying it shouldn't happen , given that we dont have enough clubs in the Championships as it is , maybe if the RFL stopped tipping 100's of 1,000's into trying to manufacture SL clubs that are totally out of their depth we would have some clubs moving up , and possibly moving down as well
