| The big clubs have a self interest in this and its nothing to do with whats good for the game.
3 years from now this will all be dropped leaving a smaller SL and more cash to share.

Too true El Ray. Wouldn't it be great if their backers pulled out and they were at risk!

| Quote: Trinity Till Death "Asking part time players to play professionals in several games back to back. H & S risk?'"
At least 3 championship clubs will be running full time professional squads by 2015. 5 wins out of 7 games will gain them promotion to SL in 2016. 4 out of 7 games will be home advantage for the championship clubs.
It will be a massive battle for the SL clubs placed 9th to 12th - no doubt about it.

| During the financial problems of the past few months, we have constantly been asked 'do the people of Wakefield want a superleague club?'
I am personally struggling now to rationalize an answer to that question, particularly as the game seems intent on self destruction in the UK. do I want Trinity to be a part of the Mickey Mouse organization called the RFL?..
Rugby League is the greatest game on the planet... It deserves better, so much better, than this.

Are Bradford doing "a Wigan" now ?

| I've had a few hours to try and think around the new structure and I'm utterly p'd off.
The clubs at the lower end of SL have effectively been consigned to some half baked 2nd division.
After 16 seasons of successfully battling with top flight survival, with occasional dalliances with the play offs, The Fat Controller and his merry men are finally seeing that we get dropped.
Ok, we may stay in the top 12 for a number of seasons but, every year we will be battling relegation.
How is this supposed to endear fans to the game of Rugby League

The new formula is obviously geared up for clubs like Hudds and potentially Salford. Clubs on life-support like ours and possibly Bradford need not apply.

But if we're on life support do we deserve to be in the top flight?

| Quote: wrencat1873 "It's all in the detail It says that the move to a 12 team SL was unanimous and that the 2 x 8, 3 x 12 was approved,
which means that the second part was not unanimous.
What a load of rubbish.
Half of the clubs in the top flight are already skint and this will take cash from the bottom clubs, fantastic
Excellent points.
The 3 x 8 option was apparently 7 -6 in favour. Sadly wakefield voted for the cut 12 and the 3 x 8 model.

Interesting that so many 'smaller' or financially weaker clubs have voted for this 3 x 8 option.

| I think most the clowns are in this thread.
Shouldn't comment on other teams if you know nowt about them. Well over half fevs squad are full time already and plan to be completely full time by 2015.
I think we'll have enough quality to make the top 4 in the 8. You lot on the other hand will probably end up in the championship for 2015 and end up in the third 8 ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)
