Two tier Super League : Tue May 22, 2012 1:47 pm  

I was thinking to make Super League more competative why don't they have 16 teams with a two tier Super League

Teir 1

Saints
Wigan
Warrington
Leeds
Bradford
Huddersfeild
Catalan
Hull FC

Tier 2

London
Hull KR
Leigh / Halifax / Feverstone
Castleford
Wakefeild
London
Widnes
Salford

- Could be 28 games per season, or 21 games, then have promotion and relegation with the two Super Leagues
- More full time teams means GB have a bigger talent pool to choose from
- More competative matchs in tier one which would compete with the NRL
- Could expand it to 10 teams in each comp
- 21 game season would mean more time for internationals / battle of the roses
- Every bodies happy?

What does everyone think?

tier 2 london twice? something needs to be done i dont know what maybe this with the bottom team in tier 2 getting relegated and the top of championship going up. superleague is slowly going to kill teams in the championship leagues.unless they start to share fairly.

It`s not so much how many tiers there are it`s the funding , as long as it was shared fairly with promotion and relegation it`s ok.

2nd tier is still 2nd tier, why demote 6 clubs to a second grade league to try and placate Leigh/Halifax/Featherstone?

Surely the RFL should be moving towards keeping 14 in SL, turning Championship into a 14 team competition and gradually building towards P&R between those 2 leagues?

Not an easy process, I grant you, but making an 8 team top flight?

There aren't enough good players for a 14 team top tier. Quality has been awful this season, a couple of games excepted.

Re: Two tier Super League : Tue May 22, 2012 7:13 pm  

2 London clubs and then they add their points together to ensure they get promotion.
But seriously, 12 teams at most but maybe 10 and P&R.
