im puzzlwd as to why it is unanamous. Going back to P&R is not in our interests or Wakey and Cas.

Maybe because we are building a Championship level team in a Championship level ground.

More bollox, the world of RL has gone bonkers

It was GUS that decided it

seems like an odd decision, will be interesting to see if they release the financial side of it.

For me hey at least we know what we have to try and do each season. I can see the merits of it with the play off split later in the season saving the dead rubbers in years past when relegated teams were decided with 3 or 4 games to go.

Just wish they would stop chopping and changing

Apparently it was the decision to go to 14 which was unanimous . The vote on the 12 to 8 stupidity was apparently 7 - 6 with Catalans abstaining. How that can be justified to bring in with such a close vote and the vast majority of fans not wanting it is beyond me, but then we are talking about the RFL here.

I said it before but I'll say it again.



When I first heard of the 2 x 12 into 3 x 8, I thought 'what a pile o sh*t, only the RFL could dream up such bo&&ox'........BUT



Play around with it a bit.....look more closely at the implications for the middle-order, not just the smaller clubs trying to be one of the big-six.....and suddenly it starts to look quite good.



Suddenly Fev' and Sheffield and 'Fax have something to play for, suddenly teams can't just coast 'til the end of the season and do a "London" or a "Salford".



Rugby League in this Country has NEVER followed what others do, but has always inovated and changed to suit itself. 119 years on and we are still here.



Yep, the new formulae has grown on me, when we try it, if turns into a Pig's Ear, I'll be one of the first to say so, but personally, I think it will work.

I don't care if Fax or Fev or other pit villages with other super league clubs within 20 miles of them have a chance to get into SL. If the game is to get stronger we need to raise the international profile which will be achieved by beating Australia on a regular basis. Therefore the game needs to get out of the M62 and allow a pathway for players. There are plenty of SL teams in the heartlands where a good local player can go and play. There probably won't be in London in 2015 which to me is bad for the game given the huge strides made in juniors playing the game down here. The tap of new talent will be turned off

At the moment I'm just trying to concentrate us starting in 2014 rather than even contemplating where we will be in 2015!

And as long as the small clubs on the M62 keep acting in their own clubs interests as opposed to the good of the game it will remain thus.

I agree with Paddock. Let's hope something good comes out of this year as 2015 looks like a backward step.

For me it's yet more evidence that the club won't be around in 2015.



As for the rest of the game, I think it's a crackers idea designed to allow the smaller SL clubs to reduce their expenditure and still get a crack at the big boys. What the RFL should be doing is attempting to create a genuine elite league, instead they're pandering to the mid-ranking clubs. The future for RL in this country seems to be as a training ground for the NRL and union.
