Quote: Slugger McBatt "Done my bit.
The 10-10 with promotion and relegation is part of the survey. I'm sure that will mean 9 strong-ish clubs and one weak one, rather than the 11 strong-ish clubs and one weak one that we have now. The only way it could work is by raising the lower league salary cap and spreading the cash around. That isn't going to happen.
I've no problem generally with the idea, as theoretically the league below will be a stronger one by having better lower league clubs in it, but the finances dictate one season up and then down again, and it'll be impossible to get investment for bi-annual championship rugby.
For me, it should be 14 teams, but a higher salary cap and higher overseas quota to get more talent over here, with the end of loop fixtures.'"
Yes, I’ve completed the survey, but I opted for 14 team with more funding provided. I thought the 10x10 question was significant because that’s the option that’s been pushed for months now
