The top 8 play off was worth trying but clearly it doesn't work IMO. The first clue was the first season they did it and 8th placed Catalan lost more games than they won.
Should go back to top 6, exactly like we do it. I still don't understand the top 8 format.
When we get 14 team competition, lets hope it isn't introduced to ours.

But if that's the case wouldn't it impact on the development of players in the Leigh area joining Leigh's reserve side ?

I obviously take your point but it seems to me' and it would seem to the vast majority of supporters of other Championship clubs' that this deal helps one club more than the other and the gainer is the Non Relegation club.

This would cause fans to give up on supporting Championship rugby and not surprisingly that is what has happened since promotion and relegation to and from the top league was ended by a ludicrous experiment.

A ludicrous experiment I might had that has made it hard to introduce new fans to the game because they can't get their head round why some clubs can never aspire to be in the top league in the game.

So where do the other 14 or so players from each sl club as they jettison their U20's.

Aren't they also changing U23's age group down. More players left kicking their heels.

And who's going to pay £14 to watch what amounts to Super League reserve grade. These won't be Leigh players.

If they put on the Leigh shirt , then they are Leigh players ,ive said this before if 17 Eskimoes turn out at the LSV wearing Leigh shirts , then they will be cheered on as Leigh players .

To me Ryan Brierley is a Leigh player when wearing our shirt , im sure all the Fans who cheered on his Match winning try on Friday wouldnt argue .
