With that line up it's not such a big leap of the imagination to be thinking of a Superleague 2. If more city teams fall out of the top flight then you might need to rethink the scale of the 2nd division completely.

It'd be ironic if the Championship had a wider geographic footprint than SL yet got a worse TV deal.

As for who comes down I think it will be London. I'd rather it wasn't them. I'd prefer it to be Leeds as it's been a while since I've been to Headingley and I like that away trip.

Sorry to disappoint you but Neil Hudgel is the owner of one of the largest law firms in the country with offices in London, Leeds Manchester and Hull. He is also involved in several other business ventures and he is certainly not short of a bob or two. Is he a multi millionaire? probably.

Have to agree

To be fair he's probably based that assessment on the sort of squad that Hull KR assembled the last time they were in the Championship. It was a good squad but it wasn't amazing, and certainly not at the levels of limitless spending that Toronto have been hitting, which is probably what he was alluding to with the 'multi-millionaire' comment.

Hull KR will be fine if they come down because they have a very strong support base and Hudgell as backup if/when needed. A side like Wakefield, with average support and no benefactor of any kind would be in big trouble if they came down.

I've no idea if Neil Hudgell is a 'multi millionaire' or not. I suspect that his total value might be - but much of that would be tied up in his various businesses.

I doubt that he has got millions sloshing around like, say, Ken Davy - who made his millions, sold his businesses and can now thrown money down the Huddersfield money pit as a hobby.

Either way, he comes across as an arrogant so-and-so, and I wouldn't be averse to seeing his lot relegated for that reason alone

It's a shame because I've always had a soft spot for rovers. But there's something slightly sinister about the way Hudgell and Carter conduct themselves around our club.

Never got the "hating" bit in a rivalry, much as I sang about my Father's (non-existant) gun along with the rest of them.

Of course, it would be bad for SL if Leeds were relegated. Same as it was when we dropped, though we were more...mmm, a bit complicit in our downfall is, perhaps, the phrase I was struggling for. Not that I'd give ha'porth of credibility to Cummins' idea that the RFL wouldn't allow it - claptrap.

Whilst bad for SL those clubs would still have their Sky money to fall back on. If Leeds were relegated it could be salvation for many Ch clubs having the likes of us and Leeds turn up with our support.

Much to agree with there, though maybe 'salvation' is overdoing it a bit but it would certainly be a shot in the arm for Championship clubs. Not to mention 'THE' derby. Biggest RL crowd of the day, I reckon on any normal weekend.
