I think we would be a part time outfit and middle table. There will be teams in the league with backers to provide the cash which we don’t have at the moment so there’s nothing to indicate we would be any different in the lower league

Big mistake to me,if thats what they are looking at. i don't think SL fans / spectators want a 2 division x 10 teams Super League.
A ten team competition would mean 9 matches home and away which is 18 in total, and then to make up 27 games in a season which is probably required for tv,and obviously match day income for home teams, how would the remaining 9 matches that would be needed pan out, who plays whom and who plays at home or away. It will be a nightmare for planning a season fixtures.
But if Super league was increased to 14 teams, that would be 26 matches [13 home and away] for each team and then the magic weekend game [27 games in total] which would mean 7 matches the Magic weekend rather than 6 as now.
They could continue with promotion / relegation as is now, team finishing bottom of a 14 team SL goes down, winner championship goes up

2 x 10 is just a re branding of a reduced Super League and a reduced Championship and the only reason, it's called Super League 2 is to sugar the pill for the 2 clubs (or more) that get kicked out. - I say 2 or more as this type of restructure could result in a fully contrived top flight.

Quite ridiculous and another nail in the coffin for the sport.

Too simple. Too obvious. Too neat.

They'll never do that!

IMG are favouring the formation of SL 1 & SL 2, the two divisions of 10 that has been rumoured for some time. They’re not looking at licensing or stadium criteria, it will be based around on field performance only!
That is bad news for us because there’s very little chance we will make the top 10 and we will in effect find ourselves relegated to the second tier in much the same way we were at the inception of SL back in 1995.

SL 2 will in effect be a rebranded Championship but with a few ex SL clubs added. The Clubs are really just arguing about the distribution of money between the two divisions but as you can imagine the likely SL1 clubs will want the lions share of the money. League 1 will be scrapped or cut loose of the pro game and will either cease altogether or will see many clubs fold as all central funding will stop.

Bleak I know but it’s just a matter of time

If relegated we lose our voice at the SL table and we have only ourselves to blame if it happens:
