I very much agree.
We probably all suspected life in Championship One wasn't going to be very good based on what we'd seen happen from afar, when we were in the Championship. After one season's worth of real-time evidence we've now suffered it and don't like what we've seen.
The clubs do have to take some responsibility for this dire competition.
The RFL must want to see the game develop or else they wouldn't have allowed the new teams in. They do have a vested interest in it working but all they're going to do is kill rugby off for the more established teams if they're not careful.
Realistically I don't think changes can be made for next season as changes must be agreed before the previous season starts so everyone knows what they're playing for. Would the 8th placed team in our league be happy dropping down a level to allow Toronto in? I don't think so!
The thing that must happen is that changes must be agreed upon now for them to take place in the 2018 season.
