Do you think fans. Will want to keep going, with no real hope of getting in to SL?
There is no doubt in my mind that some fans have been put off, how many, I'm not sure.
If the RFL want vibrant competition in the lower leagues then they have to provide incentive not only for the teams but for the fans to see that the competition is worthwhile.
I see no reason, that with the right input, the lower leagues should not thrive. The point is, SL don't care about anything but themselves, and I'm not so sure about the RFL either.
