There is a statement on the Batley website from the Chairman about P & R. Very interesting reading. Any one know how to put it onto here because I haven't a clue ?

That is a well argued and justifiable compromise.

The Batley chairman is correct to say that the 'eights' do provide a genuine chance of promotion, though this is very largely on the back of two, independent but connected, big changes from the position when the system was first started.

The first was bringing in the change which allowed the same cap for ALL the clubs involved and the second was the new clubs, Toronto and Toulouse. As we have seen with Leigh, if they couldn't compete with a wealthy owner, it's very doubtful that any other of the current, traditional championship clubs would have the money to make use of the increased cap to even get promoted , let alone survive that first year. Unless there are other very well funded 'foreign' clubs out there, I feel the way up for most clubs would be barred under this system. So what happens to the eights next? Assuming there are no other new clubs coming through I think it will be dropped and we'll be back to some form of licensing or SL membership scheme, maybe with an independent SL, free from the control of the RFL. After SLexit, as it were.

1 up 1 down with the option for a 2nd Championship club to go up at the expense of the 11th placed club makes sense. It's similar to the current system AND it means that you won't have the club who's 11th but with a buffer between them and 12 shutting up shop for the year as they'll be pushing to avoid 11th place as well having to ensure they are competitive enough to avoid the drop.

Well unless there is a change to the structure, then it's the play-offs as York have overcome their last bannana skin.

Was a good game to watch although i have to say after his farcical performance refereeing us and Workington, i'd love to know how Mullhern got a big game in York/Oldham. Unsurprisingly he got a huge call wrong at the end. Oldham kick, York player fields it, loses ball in tackle. Oldham regather and then take the tackle. He then gives the hand over to York. I mean the outcome didn't match any possible play that happened. Whether it went forward or backwards Oldham got to the ball first so its a fresh set of 6! Last minute too! When so much is at stake why is it acceptable to have this level of officiating who don't seem to know the rules. He's guranteed to ref the play-off semi or final isn't he. Anyway rant over.

Well done York. They fully deserve top spot IMO A club on the up!

Great Stat on Twitter in that York have had eight games decided by a score or less this year, and won seven of them. By contrast, the Bulls have had four and lost three of them, the only win vs York first day of the season.

York certain deserve the title IMO, and we need to start winning close games if we are to take part in the playoffs.

I noticed this today after looking at who their final two opponents were. York certainly weren’t all that impressive today but they seem to find a way to grind out a win. The amount of ball that Oldham spilled in good position was criminal and I’m sure Naylor will feel they blew a chance in that 2nd half to snatch a result.

As for the Bulls, they have lost twice at home against their promotion rivals, that is a big concern. Let’s hope they can pull it together and string some performances together when it matters in the play offs. Can’t see York slipping up now with two fairly easy games left to go.

Let's hope York see it as "two easy games to go"...
