What is it with the idiots at the rfl we should have relegation and promotion

5 minutes before the announcement is certainly the time to voice those views.



Behave, this is the situation we are in and lets hope the best club is chosen and lets hope they are a success.

Widnes it is then!

Congratulations Widnes.

Loving those Widnes fans





Sky can sure pick 'em

Ha, i was thinking, 'oh dear God' when they were speaking to them.



As for the license, I don't think it's a joke, I just think they should look at maybe 2 years instead of 3, or bringing back promotion/relegation pretty soon.

Back to the days of overspending on players in order to survive, instead of being able to bring along local youngsters and spend on the facilities instead?...no thanks.

Well we all knew widnes was going to come up funny how they only had cameras there but not at halifax or barrow



I'm glad they have come up cause what happened 3 years ago was harsh but for me bring fax up and leave it at 16 teams

Not sure about that Geoff. Plenty of teams in Super League who have spent nowt on their facilities and plenty outside of Super League who have. Likewise with youth development.

and two teams in the SL have gone bust, the exact thing that this was supposed to help stop against.

not too sure that it is really working.

I just think 3 years is along time maybe 2 yrs but I think relegation and promotion keeps a good crop of English players getting a chance to play super league out of the league. If a team is bottom of the league e.g catalans or wakey then they should go down it adds excitement in the championship and makes team play better so they don't get the drop

I think this way is better. I think Tomkins wouldnt have played until Madge if Noble didnt have that security of no relegation and I think theres other teams taking chances on youngsters that they just wouldnt if they didnt have that security.



I was quite intrigued by the point from Lewis that Halifax may still come in. Does anyone think who the second team could be? Because I know Crusaders went under but I just cannot see them giving up on the Welsh franchise tbh.
