I see the RFL have confirmed that the make up of SL for 27 will be done on gradings alone
they have removed the catchment area points which will be replaced by finance and Playing performance
do you think that will make any difference to the current line up ?
Playing performance means they are all above championship teams, and unless a club goes bust finance will not change a thing
drawbridge is up
See fev will start with a points deduction - correct
but the new Salford mob won’t ?
Will a points deduction matter? No automatic promotion for winning the league and no relegation then the only thing that it may effect is any extra money that may be available for finishing higher up the league or possible income from extra games in the play offs. I don't think we know how that is going to work yet and even when we do it may get changed before the seasons done.
What a mess, with only weeks to go before the first games!
I'm sure that I read somewhere that Sport England were concerned about RL (miss) management?
Perhaps they can force the RFL to sort everything out, so that we can start and finish the season without even more problems and enjoy watching our team playing a great sport.
