The only way P&R could work now is for players and staff contracts to be reduced should a club be relegated. Also players and staff under contract should be able to move clubs during the closed season but only for a transfer fee. There should be a maximum and a minimum based on the players SL contract and how many games he has played. Staff transfer fees should be fixed acording to the job.

Disagree mate the only way P&R can be re-introduced is by closing the gap between the two leagues and that can only happen by a fairer distribution of income.

But that is making the SL clubs subsidise the lower leagues which will never happen. I agree the RFL should give the lower leagues more exposure to increase revenue streams like TV and sponsors. Even giving more of the SKY money to us would work, but each club is a single business and you can't expect a competing business to help a competitor.

Not quite sure what you mean by subsidising mate ?

Can you imagine the look on all the SL clubs chairman if they got their money lowered to give lower league clubs more...........it will never happen as SL clubs don't give a s*** about lower league clubs and want all the money for themselves.

They want a closed shop like the NRL.

With the 'comfort blanket' of being baled out by the governing body and their mates when things turn pear shaped.

Does that mean we will not be applying for a license for 2014?

Not many well structured clubs in the SL at the moment Keith if you take away the top 6 /7 top clubs

A bit like FA bending the rules for Portsmouth so they could fulfil their games in the PL until they bugger off down the relegation chute and out of the spotlight of the worlds premier competition to fend for themselves.

Interesting developments for Kettering - again I suspect the FA would act differently if this was say Everton in the PL in the middle of a season.

Just highlighting the biggest competition in the world really cares about the lower leagues as well - and they have much bigger money fights.

What facts?
