How many clubs get promoted to Super League at the end of 2015?

I assume that Leigh has the front running. But London may now have the second best squad. The question is whether two clubs will get promoted.

Great signing for you guys, and the quality he brings will be a big step in getting back into SL. Surprised that he slipped under the radar of the SL Clubs, as he'd do a good job in the top flight.

As I understand it then it's not that simple. The answer is somewhere between none and 4. If a championship side finishes in the top three of the middle eight then they will be promoted, if a championship side wins the playoff between 4th and 5th then they will be promoted.

If the top 3 clubs in the middle 8 are Superleague teams and the other Superleague wins the 4th v 5th play-off match then no new teams will be in the superleague the following season.

Despite some very positive signs on the recruitment front, I can still only see a Championship side gaining promotion if a SL side in the middle 8 has suffered a financial meltdown on the scale that we have this year or has the worst injury list in history. On that last point, I wonder whether there will be any restrictions on loan players for the middle 8 in that period?

The thing to take in to account, at the start of super 8 lower tier top4 will have been winning, bottom 4 of super league will have been losing. It's a new aproach, it might inject a bit of life into a flagging sport.
back end of next season could be interesting and you could see a few surprises and changes

Good news this and other signings. Might even make the long trek to and from The Hive bearable for a few games at least.

Care to elaborate on what this is driving at?
Second thoughts don't, as I can feel a repeat performance coming on.
