Quote="Grey Beard01"I'd go along with a Conference system hopefully with the weaker teams getting the sort of support from the RFL that the late unlamented Crusaders did. How much money was wasted on that exercise in vanity? There again whichever planet the RFL live on it's not usually Planet Earth.'"
The whole point of having divisions is to have teams of similar ability playing each other. If you had a support programme on a wholesale scale, to be really effective, you'd need to give the weaker teams the most money. Which $uperleague teams will be voting for that ?
If you have a play-off system to determine the Champions (which we do) then a Conference system is a good idea, as you don't need to play each team twice.
Quote="E.S.O"Imagine a conversation with someone who doesn't follow RL:
"Did you win?"
"No we lost."
"Oh so have you gone down a place now then?"
"No, because we only lost by 12 so we got a reward for it, one point."
"...Right...so you're still top of the league then...think you'll get promoted?"
"No, we don't have promotion, someone just goes up once every three years on sky sports news."
And people wonder why RL gets ridiculed.'"
Yup. Soccer makes me so envious.
Sack the manager because third place is just tantamount to failure.

I think that not so many seasons ago, thanks to the bonus point system, the Eagles scored league points in every league game.
