Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

It’s such a shame though. Being in the championship I honestly believe that the clubs are mostly left just to get on with it and fend for themselves. It’s so very bizarre how it’s been cast aside almost.
Why not increase the SL to 14.
Restructure championship and League 1 into a slightly bigger single league.
Re-imagine the Championship with fresh branding, promote a new image and relaunch and secure a tv deal aiming for 40-50% of the SL value over 3-5 years.
All clubs in championship to get around 300-400 central funding to support a strong part time squad and or to use off field to grow.
It feels like a couple of clubs are struggling at the moment. If the sport could seriously invest in the championship as its own comp instead of a bolt on to SL then it would strengthen the sport from bottom up.
Any deal the SL has to have a cut is ridiculous tbh. Both comps should have their own nagotiated deals independently. It’s just a barrier for growth.

Definitely. But there will never be any without any motivation or serious ambition to seek it out.

| They are only interested in the now and that does not involve splitting the Sky money 14 ways.

| But that's the point of IMG recommendation. They want to make a league of teams that are self sustaining, so that the Sky money isn't as big an impact.

| York beat Sheffield to leapfrog the Eagles into 4th on points difference
Fev can go 5th if they beat. Dewsbury by 26+, and 4th if they win by more than 80
Widnes could go into 4th if they can beat Toulouse, which would then give Bradford a chance of 2nd spot if they beat Halifax

Confirms my view that this is a very competitive division apart from us at the top and Dewsbury at the bottom. We'll need to be on top form come the play offs.

| York vs Fev next week should be a cracker. In effect it’s a play off for the play offs.
Both Widnes & Sheffield should win, so the loser likely to be 7th & the winner 4th. Suspect that Fev will miss out & we will end up playing York in the PO semi at BV.

| Agreed York v Featherstone is a massive game next week. If you take us and Dewsbury out of the equation it has been a fascinating season with the play off places only being finalised on the last day of the regular season. Four teams are competing for three places and one of them is going to be very unlucky. Such a shame that a TV deal wasn't sorted out to showcase the Championship to a wider audience

It might be competitive but the standard is awful.

There's some technically very good teams in the Championship, I'd go as far as to say there are games where Trinity have been outdone in pure rugby terms but our far superior physicality has won the game. Apart from the two outliers at either end of the table the Championship has been a close fought and exciting division this year.

I could say the same about some Super League games I’ve watched this season, turned a few games off before final whistle the game was so poor to watch.

Fitness levels have played a big part as well. How many games have we seen where the first half was tight then we have blown the opposition away the second half?

No different to SL where some teams seem fitter and more skillful than others
