| Excellent outcome, RL needs to have a plan and stick to it if it wants to progress, chopping and changing the league structure every three years would be disastrous for stability and the game would be poorer for it.
Of course as a Trinity fan I know that my team, rightly or wrongly, would’ve been first in line to be ousted had the league dropped to 12, so of course I have a vested interest in the league remaining at 14, but even if Trinity were one of the stronger clubs I would still have wanted the league to remain at as it is.
There may be a player dilution right now but in time, with 14 clubs producing home grown players, this will be rectified and we will hopefully so a large base of club produced players supplemented with a small number of the very best overseas stars clubs are able to muster.

| It would be interesting to see the vote, I would like to know which clubs voted to make it 12 again.
There must be quite a few ‘I’m alright Jack’ clubs who would prefer just the twelve clubs, it looks like the have-nots won the day.
There’ll be a number of posters on the V.T who will be gutted today.

I think you can be certain Cas, Wakey, Salford, Crusaders, Quins, Saints, Bradford and Hull KR voted for it to stay at 14, if only to help guarantee their SL status. That's 8 teams, so over half...

| Totally agree devils advocate...we all know the stadium debate, but to throw a team out that regular beats and finishes higher up than alot of the other clubs is ludicrous..the RFL are chomping at the bit to get Widnes/Leigh/Halifax in.

That list is probably not too far off the mark, don’t know about St’s though, it’s a good job Bradford have gone backwards in the last couple of years, they used to part of the clique.

Not sure how you work that out. Widnes perhaps though I have never seen any real evidence to suggest they are especially favoured. SL had the ideal chance to get them in in 2008 and didn't. As for Fax and Leigh I don't go for that at all as neither offer anything that isn't already on offer. Leigh are simply too small, new stadium or not and I doubt Fax hit hardly any of the criteria. I'm not saying one of them won't take the place of an existing SL if that club fails to reach the required standard but that's very much in those clubs own hands. What I don't see is any great desire for it to happen, certainly no favouritism or conspiracy.

We must be really confident about getting Newmarket.
The situation hasn't changed really. It's Newmarket or bust.

Wakefield voted for a 12 Team SL. Are we insane or are we so confident that we will have a new Stadium.
Can't believe it but if true I'm disappointed, its like Turkey's voting for Christmas.

| I can’t believe Trinity did, very selfish to do so and potential very damaging if things didn’t go the clubs way. On the other hand they must be super confident of the new stadium becoming a reality.

| I imagine that we are the clubs that need the money the most. If Newmarket comes off, we should stay in, 14 teams or 12. If it doesn't, we are out, 14 teams or 12. As a rugby fan, I want 14. The club has to stay in business though, and so I can understand the business case for 12.
I just hope we go for viable clubs and not just expansion for expansion sake. The atmosphere was poor on Sunday. Imagine if we lost Cas for Toulouse. The away games would be better than the home ones.
Having said that, getting Widnes to replace Salford would improve things.

| Well, that’s blown my conspiracy theory of the ‘Big Boys’ wanting a bigger share of the pie .
To top it all, we voted for twelve, either we’re very confident, or very skint.
What about the bit regarding moving the Magic w/e to the Capital, you just couldn’t make it up .
