I agree we should be expanding to 14. However, that only brings a temporary reprieve from promotion and relegation as the following seasons we will still have a team going down and one coming up.I know people say relegation hurts the team going down, but no promotion hurts all teams coming up. Why would Toronto, toulouse, Bradford, York invest in their sides to just stay where they are.
Since p&r has come back under either formula the standard of the next league has improved.
The difficulty with getting a super league with 12+ teams is self interest from incumbent teams not wanting to share TV finance.
Short term financal gain over riding longer term strategy and a potential longer term improvement in finance.
