Well they know more about what they're doing than us! The banks would have gone down quicker than they did had we been in charge most likely!

Would you have liked it if Cas had got relegated last year? And then spent this season putting 60 points past teams, and then next season getting hammered every other week and getting relegated again? With Westerman and Owen playing for Leeds, and replaced by journeymen Aussies in the Cas team? Would that be good for the game?

If they come bottom, then YES...just start the transfer window at the same time and after both comps have ended...whala....know if you cant make it in your first season back, no exuses...your going back down...maybe next time, ull learn that bit more.....isnt that whats sports about?

no argument can still remove the fact that without relegation the games played by those atthe lower reaches of SL mean absolutely NOTHING

You've edited it in a way that now makes no sense. Well done. Good argument!

That automatic promotion and relegation between Super League and the Championship is an absolute farce in modern day Rugby League, and will continue to be until the Championship becomes a full-time league.

And ? , we will get there in the end

Yes it does. No one wants to finish bottom. The fact they are playing for prize money as well means there is something on the line. And the fact that they could still perhaps get into the play-offs means there is still something to play for.

So the fact that you are trying to find arguments against something that isn't the case means you're an idiot.

Yeah, I agree. For now though, there is no point in going through with P&R just because we feel like it should be done on principle. When the Championship gets up to scratch, then I will be a big advocate of bringing back P&R. You have to say too that the Championship is a much better competition this year than in previous seasons. I'm certainly enjoying it a lot more.

Agree 100% there. It's a shame about the attendances though. There's only Widnes pulling in decent crowds. It's something for the club chairmen to focus on rather than the quest for the golden ticket.
