The whole restructure becomes neccessary because Sky think that RL is worth so little.
If dropping to 10 clubs in SL doesnt create a huge uplift in advertising revenues, what then ?

The whole problem with the game is lack of cash and investment.

Does a reduced top flight really encourage more investment into the sport and if so, why has this not happened with the cut from 16 clubs (in the old first division, down to 14 in SL and then when the game dropped to 12 - can anyone else spot the pattern ?

This is all about the bigger clubs protecting their own income and not developing and improving the sport.

So it seems that SL club's have come to an agreement on this today, for now:

Super League clubs have voted in favour of retaining a 12-team competition next season, meaning promotion and relegation will go ahead as planned.

Clubs met again today to discuss the way forward for Super League with several proposals on the table, including expanding to 14 teams for the 2022 campaign.

However, Rugby League Live understands an agreement has been reached that will see the competition stay as it is, for next season at least.

There remains a strong appetite for two top divisions of 10 in 2023, although how that would be decided remains up in the air.

The immediate impact is on the bottom of Super League and the top of the Championship.

As planned, the Championship will run a top six play-off system that will conclude with the Million Pound Game to determine which club will replace the bottom side in Super League in 2022.

So after several meetings they’ve voted for the system that they previously thought wasn’t good enough (which is why they had the meetings in the first place) and the same one that Sky thinks isn’t producing enough good games. How very Rugby League.

Sorry, the just make option, should read just my opinion,
