Quote ="frankb"Well here,s my take on one club being relegated. Three clubs joining Championship 1 have been mentioned ie Warrington Wizards' Bramley and Carcassone. One of those ie Bramley haven,t even applied or even got a ground that they can call their own.

Don't think that would be a good idea, aside from your comments about Bramley for (at least) 4 reasons
1. The travelling to France would be too much for some Championship 1 clubs
2. The French Elite needs all the teams it can get, it only has 9 at the moment, with none likely to move up
3. The French Elite is a similar standard to Championship 1 anyway so no good reason for the switch to justify the extra cost
4. Taking Bramley and Warrington Wizards out of the RLCN would certainly kill off the league without moving any expansion clubs up, leaving them nowhere suitable to play, and Nottingham and Hemel are a similar standard to them (though I'm not convinced any of them are ready to step up)
