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!
What I like about the middle 8 is that it addresses the inherent flaw with straight P&R, ie. the assumption that the top of the lower division are better than the bottom of the higher division and thus deserve the place more. For Championship teams to be elevated above bottom SL sides they must demonstrate it on the field in the new system.

There has never been that assumption. It is clear from when we did have p&r and the promoted team had to sign at least half a new team just to have any hope of being competitive that this isn't the case.

Promoting one team and relegating another who have never played each other demonstrates the assumption within the system. Having to sign half a new team just to be competitive demonstrates that it's a flawed assumption.
I very mch doubt p&r ever had anything to do with believing that the lower division club must be stronger than the top division club, certainly not in the SL era.

I'm not sure you've understood my point tbh. I'm not saying anything about what people believe.

No, promotion was a reward for finishing top of the second tier and an opportunity for the promoted club to ply it's trade at a higher level. Being the sport of RL, this is not enough and we will soon have perpetual qualification for the top end of the Championship and lower end of Super League.
We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
