What are the rules next season? How many? It definitiely has to be more than one as London have several. Heres hoping there are no special rules for the relegated clubs

At least one of there overseas players has an eu passport

Don't know the answer but could do knowing.
As things stand we only have a fighting chance to make SL with the extra Sky money next year. We shall still be at a serious financial disadvantage so the last thing we need is skewed rules that further widen the gap in favour of the relegated SL clubs.

We have signed one !!!
Personally I don't think we should get oversea s one s unless its a marque signing ie a big name to attract crowds

I have seen it mentioned that it is 5 non-fed allowed next year but not seen it confirmed on any official website

I asked this question a couple of weeks ago on Radio Manchester in the context of London signing overseas players for next season. They suggested that London were signing players with EU passports/Kolpak qualifications. When I posed the question about other clubs ie Bradford and their current overseas players they didn't have an answer apart from implying that the existing championship clubs would be at a disadvantage and that we would just have to lump it. They certainly didn't seem to think that there would be any change in the current championship quota. As for the future of dual reg I drew a blank on that one. In short nobody seems to know. It's a real issue if next season is to be anything like a level playing field.
The difference between those coming down from Super League and those who just make the bottom of this year's championship top 9 will be enormous. In addition it looks like the bottom four coming out of Super League into the mixed league at the end of next season will also have a huge advantage in terms of overseas players. Despite what we might achieve this season it will still be a huge task to get ourselves in the Super League starting line-up in 2016

Next seasons overseas quota for the Championship is up to 5 players , both Bradford and London have already a few signed , as for Leigh , my prediction is we will sign another Overseas player to go with Ben Jefferies .And then sign a couple of home based players .

It's going up to 5 so it's the same as Super League, it had to really in order for the Super League Qualifier Group of 8 to work.

No idea on Dual Codes though, hopefully it'll be scrapped, more SL coachers are talking about how they'd rather see a reserves league brought back so hopefully that'll happen.

Tony Smith said it hadn't really worked and was looking for a change

Dual reg can't happen in out league next year.

Doubt Jeffries will be 'overseas' after his 10 year stint in super league.

Can't happen in OUR league I agree.Also the stupid bonus point will have to go imo.

The team names are the order they are in the table now. The numbers in brackets would be the points total without the bonus point system ie 2 pts Win, 1pt Draw 0pts Loss

I'll let you work out the positions without the bonus point system

Suffice to say it would change it slightly but we would still need 2 more wins at this point to secure 1st place

Hope the bonus point gets scrapped all round, most fans don't like it. Wasn't it supposed to be brought in as a trial in our league before possibly bringing it into SL? X years later and SL have no interest in it but we're still stuck with it rewarding loosing teams. Get it scrapped across all leagues.
