Quote atomic="atomic"I can see modifications being added to the new format,which are obvious. As for favourite clubs,you do your talking on the field of play.If you can't compete with that,then why look for a scapegoat of an excuse.
Only if the full time wages are bigger than they are currently employed/self employed on. Would you take a wage cut?
Doesn't look to have happened with the Bulls or the Broncos this season..Still going strong.
Thats one for you..'"
I would just like to point out that without Marc Green taking over the club, Bradford would not be anywhere near the level they are currently at. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that there would be no major RL club in Bradford without him.
As for next year's format for the end of season, I think a lot will depend on how the three 8 competitions go. I know Steve Ferres at Bradford has complained regarding things like the marquee player rule for SL making it even more of an uneven playing level than it already was and I'm pretty certain there's been similar grumbles from Leigh. I mean, really the only way to make the middle 8's a fair competition with a chance of promotion for the championship clubs is if those clubs are allowed to spend a comparable wage amount to their SL counterparts. Now, that might give rise to boom and bust ideas, however if the RFL police it properly and have rules in place such as the club must be able to demonstrate that it's income would allow it to match say an average salary of this years bottom 4 SL clubs (which should be easy to work out given the live cap policing going on) then I think there are clubs at championship level who would benefit and have a much better chance of breaking the glass ceiling into SL
