Looking forward to his LE column next week.

he'll still manage to get Methley Royals into the story some how

Is it me or is there a discrepancy in that article?

Where's Championship One going?

Third tier below SL and Championship?

very interesting that the vote went in thr rfl`s favour. i just hope they give it the full backing which it will need to keep clubs afloat with the loss of income during the dark nights of winter,has a junior coach myself im happy with the decision and imo it will halp the game no end and improve skills of the next generation no end.

I suspect the Northern Conference League will eventually get spread across the different levels of a revamped RLC.

Explanation of tier 1,2,3 at bottom of article.

Interetsing take in the article:

"The Clubs vote widely reflected the findings of the recent survey carried out among players, coaches and administrators, which had indicated that almost 70% were in favour of a switch to a summer playing season. [iThis figure had been challenged as not being representative by certain pro-winter campaigners[/i, but the Monday night vote mirrored those findings."

Wonder who that could be???

So the rfl are "rigging votes" now?????

lets just say that a few clubs have had their arms twisted and been blinded by promises.has ive said im very pleased its gone this way but im also very aware of the downside to summer rugby "huge water bills,losing players,higher transport fees,clubhouses been unused through the winter" to name a few.

Your Not Phil Hodgson's "Max Clifford" are you????

no just someone who knows plenty of how a conference club runs and how it survives.

Championship and Championship 1 are two divisions of one level - the semi pro. Together they make up the second tier, below the professional tier (SL)

That explains it then. Cheers.

You must be psychic

What does this do to the summer conference then?

I suspect in time along with some district leagues they will be no more, as the summer based Rugby League Conference (RLC) offers a pathway to be crowned national champions at your level of the game as [url=http://www.northamptonrl.co.uk/my local "non heartlands" team[/url has been for the past 2 seasons.
