Not beyond the realms of possibilities, when IMG, announce their intentions.

This only comes into play if Leeds are in the drop zone

This is not going to happen because SL will not dilute the Sky money. They could I suppose insist that the clubs coming up have no central funding like us when we were promoted. I suppose it would be a way for us to avoid what currently looks like the inevitable relegation.

This rumour happens every time a team is in danger of relegation or two teams are looking at promotion.

It's more likely IMG will reduce not increase the league.

Who knows anymore. RL seems to be the one sport when we can be 5 months from the season ending an there is no set structure teams from neither the championship nor super league know confidently what they are working towards. I agree its more than likely to contract the top flight to spread the ever decreasing tv money into a larger share.

which would mean 7 matches the Magic weekend rather than 6 as now.
They could continue with promotion / relegation as is now, team finishing bottom of a 14 team SL goes down, winner championship goes up

2 x 10 is just a re branding of a reduced Super League and a reduced Championship and the only reason, it's called Super League 2 is to sugar the pill for the 2 clubs (or more) that get kicked out. - I say 2 or more as this type of restructure could result in a fully contrived top flight.

Quite ridiculous and another nail in the coffin for the sport.

Too simple. Too obvious. Too neat.

They'll never do that!

IMG are favouring the formation of SL 1 & SL 2, the two divisions of 10 that has been rumoured for some time. They’re not looking at licensing or stadium criteria, it will be based around on field performance only!
That is bad news for us because there’s very little chance we will make the top 10 and we will in effect find ourselves relegated to the second tier in much the same way we were at the inception of SL back in 1995.

SL 2 will in effect be a rebranded Championship but with a few ex SL clubs added. The Clubs are really just arguing about the distribution of money between the two divisions but as you can imagine the likely SL1 clubs will want the lions share of the money. League 1 will be scrapped or cut loose of the pro game and will either cease altogether or will see many clubs fold as all central funding will stop.

Bleak I know but it’s just a matter of time

If relegated we lose our voice at the SL table and we have only ourselves to blame if it happens:
