How about adding a little more jeopardy? If the Champs GF falls on a full moon in the third weekend of the month, all bets are off and the winning club can nominate the SL club they replace!!!!

Unless of course that SL club won their third game of the season by a margin of 30 points giving them the get out of jail free card that can only be trumped if the winning championship club has a kit man called Nigel?

It's simple, fair and game changing I reckon! The crowds will flock back

Thinking outside the box could we have teams outside the top tier play each other twice. Do it home and away to make it fairer with the winner getting 2 points. At the end of the year you'll be able to see who has the most points and they could go into the top tier.

That's too complicated, it'd never work. The fans would never get their heads round that!

Where is the excitement in that?

I'm hearing the new commentary gantry at Odsal is palatial and will be the envy of many a side.

I bet that alone is responsible for the increased season ticket sales. Thank God IMG came on board.

It's fully soundproofed so no one can hear Mickey G's commentary!

How does that ensure superleague clubs are making the best use of tiktok?

Re: IMG Score : Tue Nov 19, 2024 9:57 pm  

On a serious note, why not have the league leaders crowned champions for the championship and enter into a bottom 2 (SL) and top 2 (champ) play-off.

Still pretty weighted towards SL clubs, but at least makes the end of season a little more worthwhile.....

There may be a super league life line, with the way Salfords’ finances are at the moment, asking for advanced funding from super league to get them through the winter months.
Wouldn’t want to gain entry at the expense of a club in financial difficulties, as we have had more than most, but if someone were to benefit we should make sure we are best placed to step in.

Currently we're behind Toulouse, London and York in IMG scores. London have their own financial issues so can probably be discounted as contenders. I'm not sure SL clubs will want another French team in SL if they can do anything about it. York would appear to be in a good position with us making progress too.

I always thought that the only quick way in would be to replace another SL that went into Administration or worse.
