Almost as harsh as relegating the bottom 5 from the Championship !

Ah well, at least when we get to next season, "every minute of every game will be important"



The structure of the game is an utter disgrace and changing numbers within each division with such regularity is both short sighted and damaging to the long term good of the game, it's no wonder that fans are turning away from RL.

Well done to Leigh and Hunslet though.
Leigh have been superb all season !

Wahey! Bingo! We have a winner!

Will be interesting to see what happens this first season.

The clubs finishing in the SL bottom four will be going into the 'middle 8' on the back of defeats and player morale could be low, whereas the top four from the Championship will be used to winning and player morale should be high.

In the first year I can see Leigh and Bradford displacing two SL clubs so there will be some real pressure on those in the playoffs.

While I hope you're right, I cant see who

It is hard to name the bottom 4 SL clubs who will be competing with Bulls, London, Leigh and either Fax / Fev.

On this years showing it would be Wakey, Salford and both Hull clubs but I can see Salford finally getting their act together and probably Hull FC making the top 8 as well. The big question is who would be most likely to drop out of the 8 ? Tigers, Catalans and dare I say it Rhino's ?
