So the sport fails , once again, to listen to what it's customers want... I am genuinely shaking my head in disbelief!



Good luck super league.. You are going to need it!

Finish 9th or 12th, doesn't really matter. What hope does a top 4 club of the bottom 12 have of finishing above a bottom 4 of the top 12? There's not enough tv money to evenly distribute across 24 teams. And they're not all going to be full time. They can tart it up however they like but promotion and relegation in the real world is still not in play.

Sorry don't understand all this. Knew I should have got my A Level in Maths. Why not have something radical like team at bottom of Super League gets relegated & team at top of Championship gets promoted.

Quote tiger2000="tiger2000"The Super League Website is saying it was a unanimous decision www.superleague.co.uk/article/29 ... o-become-a'" It's all in the detail It says that the move to a 12 team SL was unanimous and that the 2 x 8, 3 x 12 was approved, which means that the second part was not unanimous. What a load of rubbish. Half of the clubs in the top flight are already skint and this will take cash from the bottom clubs, fantastic

All S/L clubs have nothing to worry about then if there in the 12 next year the big worry is for 2 clubs this year

People moaning because RL doesn't get enough mention in national press. Well this fiasco should get it in the press with most readers having a good laugh.

I disagree with your conclusion here.

If one (or more) of the SL clubs have struggled throughout the season and a couple of the CC clubs have been on fire, there will very likely be 1 or 2 of the second tier swapping places with one or 2 from the top 12.

Taking our friendly result to one side, Fev have shown that they are capable of beating SL opposition (Cas) and the gave Wigan a pretty good game.

They would probably only need 1 win against SL opposition and to beat the other CC clubs to gain promotion.

Bear in mind that they will get more money than they have had previously, albeit considerably less than their SL rivals.

Ridiculous.

Out of interest when 2015 arrives is it the bottom 2 from S/L 2014 that go down or will all the 14 teams have to apply for the 12 positions as this hasn't been confirmed yet

Well it is was it is we r going to just get on with it

Ask RL see if they know answer.

I think your understating the difference between both leagues. The full time/part time playing budget thing is just too big to get over. The fact that most of these SL full time players will be playing to preserve the status of their careers (full time pros) will be a massive telling factor. Throw into the mix the fact that SL teams would of had a full season of full time training and full match fitness. I don't care what Championship team beat what SL team in a one off game they are simply not going to do it over at least 7 games in a mini league( if thats the format?).
