Quote ="broadybull87"Would it not be better for the bottom placed team in SL to play the winner of the championship in a match before the GF say in a winner takes all match, and who ever wins will be in SL next season. We have seen that some of the top championship teams can stand toe to toe with the lower SL teams should I say'"
In a way that would be a good competition as some Championship teams have had good results against the lower Superleague teams, but it would hardly be a level playing field. The Superleague club would be all full time players with a huge salary cap whilst the Championship club would be made up of mostly part time players on a small cap.
I do sort of see what they are trying to do with Licencing as the promoted team more often than not took a lot of players from the relegated team, so the net effect wasnt fantastic, but its the way that Licencing has been approached that riles a lot of non superleague fans. It would have been more paletable if the RFL had just come out and said that they only want big city clubs to expand and the likes of Featherstone and Halifax just do not fit with their views of expansion, then we could just get on with what we do.
