Quote="Khlav Kalash"I suppose one solution would be to have top 8 finish as a tick for the performance criteria for the demoted SL club. For example were Trinity to finish in the top 8 this season but were still dropped then they will have fulfiled the onfield requirements. That said if they were likely to finish in the top 8 they may not be quite so much the 'favourates' for the drop.
A larger salary cap would be a mistake IMO.'"
Don't expect any logic from the RFL. Featherstone lost only two league games last season, each by just two points, and won the league comfortably. They could well do the same this season but does such amazing consistency tick a box for on field performance? Does it heck but yet winning the NR Cup does. That's how much the powers that be understand what's actually going on.

Its what i've posted a few times. This doesn't upset the championship with unfair onfield advantages, but there is still no guarantee of 'promotion'. If another championship clubs fits the bill better they get the nod.
To be honest i'm surprised you'd go along with such an idea.

I'm more interested in having a good RL competition to watch and for clubs to build in than Leigh getting a SL franchise when they aren't ready for it
