Quote ="Odemwingie"I suggested on the VT to cut the number of teams in super league which would increase the quality in the top league and the second league by a long way.
Wigan
Leeds
Saints
Bradford
Wire
Hull FC
Hull KR
Widnes
Catalans
Hudds
Cas
Wakey
Crusaders
Quins
Salford
Leigh
Barrow
Fax
Featherstone
Toulouse
Much higher quality in the top league, more close games. Second tier would be a lot stronger than it is now and would get alot more money from the amount of sky games they would get.
This would make the franchising system more progressive.
Whenever the 3 years came around for the applications for a franchise there would actually be huge competition for who would get in. Clubs would have to find every trick in the book. Right now it is pretty obvious that Widnes will get in.'"
I agree this second tier looks stronger and would offer better opportunities for development.
I voted for Widnes simply because they're ready and unless the RFL are using a similar logic to FIFA they are a shoe in as they tick the most boxes.
