Promotion and relagation should have stayed scrapped the game is not sustainable to support it, there I see a reason NRL don't have it and have a considerably better league. P&R does nothing but hold the game back in this country. The fact the games biggest most valuable club are at risk, when they should be rebuilding without the threat over them is ludicrous.

Agree completely. The game cant sustain it financially.

Meanwhile over in Barcelona can be heard the sound of weeping , wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I’ve said for years, the only sensible way to grow the game is via franchising, not P&R. When a team is good enough (not just on the pitch), and they are sustainable, then they should be granted a franchise.

We don’t need to exclude a club to bring another one in...

League to expand to 14 with no relegation this season. That's my only hope now for Leeds to stay up.

No point crying about P&R now that your team have the very real threat of it happening to you. It's here, it's happening and you really wouldn't give it toss if it was anybody else but you lot down there.

I think your wrong there, I actually would. The game is horrendous these days. The last thing it needs is losing it’s big clubs. And I actually include Hull KR in that. There is clubs in super league, who to be frank bring nothing. You can’t cope without those that do.

That’s simply not true, I don’t think you’ll find many posters on here that wanted the Bulls to go down, SL cannot afford to lose its best supported club, or any of the high profile clubs.

If they had known London would have beaten Toronto in last seasons ns final I think the best thing for SL would have been to say no relegation friends m SL and top two from the championship go up.

SL shouldn’t have relegation or promotion but it has to because for some reason british sports fans think this is the norm.
