Licensing was a crazy innovation which caused a decrease in attendances for most clubs' now it has gone crowds for most clubs will rise.

How anyone can think no chance of promotion to the top league is a good idea for our game needs to realise our game is primarily situated around the M62.

The guy who introduced it probably thinks monopolies are a good idea. They aren't they lead to complacency and mediocrity as they do in commerce which is why they were made unlawfull in democractic countries.

Every club needs to have ambition. Licenscing is plain daft.

We all know the reason Betts is all for franchising, if we had a system based on performance & success & not on secret handshakes he'd have been sacked years ago. Makes me laugh when people talk about the amazing franchising success story that is Widnes Vikings. They won the Northern rail cup, having "ticked the box" spent 2 years winning nothing as a mid table Championship team, spent 2 years as the whipping boys of super league getting hammed most weeks but it all finally paid off last year when they finished in the bottom half of the table & got knocked out of the play offs in round 1, what an amazing success story, someone should turn it into the feel good film of the year.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

For this new structure to continue and succeed will require more central funding further down the Championship, otherwise all you will achieve is a moving of the ' Gap '

Agreed. We've pushed 2 clubs to the good side of the gap (Leigh & Fev). Everyone below them will struggle to compete. I don't see Leigh or Fev relinquishing that position unless more money is given to other championship clubs.

Lets face it aside from last season Fev and Fax were by far the most suitable teams to give SL a shot and would both have done ok in there but at the moment both are miles away from where they need to be imo and its more Dewsbury that seem to be moving the right way at the moment although I dont think they are quite ready on the pitch yet.

Agreed the championship needs more funding, I hope that if the RFL get more it goes to The Championship & not snapped up by Super League. Does anyone know the prize money for winning The Championship Shield? Ideally that should bring a club's funding up to the same level as making the top 4, that way you've then got 5 clubs on similar funding competing for 4 places. Plus it'd give more of an incentive for clubs to try to win it, whilst being a playoff competition would make it easier for a different team to win it each year.
