Are those at the RFL just trying to justify the fact that they have a job.

F0R GOD'S SAKE WHY DON'T THEY LEAVE THE STRUCTURE OF THJE LEAGUES ALONE AND STOP THESE HAIR-BRAINED IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you may find that Super League is now being run by the SL clubs not the RFL. Included among these is Wakefield Trinity, whose chairman seems to have taken on a few important roles, presumably as he is the only person within the SL hierarchy who can run a club within its means.

This may not save us without a ground but at least we will have an inside track on developments so if you feel you need to know anything, make an appointment to see Mr Carter.

If Super League decided to go ahead with a ten team structure that includes New York, Toronto and Toulouse I don't think Mr Carter's influence would be likely to change their minds FSW. I'm sure such a decision would not get MC's vote as it would be like a turkey voting to keep Christmas.

Re: 10 Team Super League : Tue Feb 20, 2018 11:24 am  
I dont dislike the current structure personally. There are numerous benefits;

- encouraging teams in the championship to spend money as more than one team can be promoted.
- promoted teams need to be of higher quality in the middle 8's than those they replace
- gives importance to the championship games and a purpose to play for

However it is a rather complicated system and explaining this to non RL followers is a difficult task and leaves them confused. This makes gaining new rugby league followers more difficult, and it's hard enough anyway for some reason.

I think it would be better to have a system similar to scottish football. Set leagues of 10-12 teams. Bottom team is relegated, with the winner of the league below promoted. The second bottom team from league 1 joins the play offs with teams 2,3,4 from league 2 to get promoted back to their league. Then just leave it at that.

The issue with the RFL is changing things for the sake of it. Dont fix something that's not broken. What was wrong with how it was years ago with straight promotion/ relagation?

Probably the fact that they couldn't get rid of Wakefield using that method?

I actually like the idea of the structure, I just don't like the odds of Wakefield being put in the second tier due to "stricter off-field rules"...

We will never know but it would have been interesting if Cats lost the MPG
