Someone's learned a new way of highlighting the links haven't they

Indeed, I'm so proud of Cokey !

Owd Pennington brains.

When this new revolutionary structure, containing the previously much maligned loop fixtures, fails to grab new spectators through the gates and gains no super dooper new TV deal in 2020, then what? I can see it now , 2 years down the line.

106 year old Ian Lenegan calls for an urgent restructuring EGM, blaming yo yoing P&R system and and pushes for an immediate automatic P&R SL ban.

110 year old Harold Rigby saw it all coming.

110 Harold, owder than a conker tree

Said it on the VT H as soon as the new structure was announced- liscencing within the next 3 years, this is just an initial softener to suck the champ vote in. They must think us fans are as thick as some of the chairmen

It needed something doing. The Super8s produces too many meaningless games and goes on way too long, as does the Middle8s although it does catch interest, and the Shield is a meaningless comp for losers, which is why spectators flock to it in their tens. They had better get someone like Barry Hearn marketing the game however, as I fear for the future of RL otherwise.

Your answer to Championship and L1 is Barry Hearn... ?

You seem to have a cardinal knowledge H...Would you like to release your inner thoughts for a change..

£220k max Good night Vienna.

Link?? - there is the best part of £2 million going to the bottom 3 of the 8s, which is generally to champ teams, is that now to be spread amongst the rest of the champ or is the SL salary cap going up. Surely the money should go to the champ teams as part of the current Sky deal

And off topic, do you work nights or summat?? because you often post at very late times

Look on the bright side-the increase in teams to 14 will mean that if we get the mandatory 12 point deduction as per Bradford at least we might be able to get above Rochdale/Swinton next season!!

Ah but, wasn't the 12 point deduction in the days of 3 points for a win? Mind you, even an 8 point deduction would need as much catching up, at 2 for a win.

(In joke - no offence intended to anyone by the use of numbers 2,3,8 or 12!

)

We gave ourselves a 10 point deduction at the start of this season.

It was only last season and Bradford only managed 6 wins and finished on zero points, with the two clubs them being Swinton and Oldham on 12 and 11 points in a 23 game season. Therefore I would estimate needing a net 14 points to stay up- this would require winning 13 out of the 27 games to be played.

I hate 8, will you use 7 instead please.

See the post above yours, and please ignore '8' altogether!

Cheers, CL

It seems ages ago!

It has been reported that Leigh were amongst the championship clubs who voted in favour of the new structure. Surely not?

It must be a case of,if the cap fits..........

You would only vote that way if you knew investment was on its way.

I have reported you for being Eightist !

Or your desperate enough to take any short term financial benefit I.e. Bit of extra funding next season, promise of high profile teams playing friendlies etc
