Quote ="PHe"In reply to The Devil's Advocate, (can't do the fancy quotes!), the RL Express quote states: 'Should they satisfy each one of these requirements, they are then entitled to throw their hat in the ring for a spot in Super League. They will then be measured alongside the existing 14 license holders, in the following areas: ......... etc'
Which, to me, does imply that it is a 'competition' between Superleague clubs and the Championshiop contenders.'"
Whilst I appreciate your point regarding the RL Express, I was of the understanding that, at least one Championship club would get the nod in March. I’ve no idea where the RL Express has got that information from.
Quote The RFL has confirmed that, subject to fulfilling their minimum criteria, at least one Championship club will be awarded a Super League spot next March.
The RFL has also confirmed Super League will stay at 14 clubs - leaving the current teams facing an anxious wait.'"
