Suppose it was better for them to pull out now than in the middle of the season.Just where these new teams are gonna get decent players from though?

[HK Hawk]

I don't think they will need decent players. Look at the teams they will be competing against. Hardly a great standard once the top 4 go up (probably marginally better, or on par with, the NCL premier). The worrying thing is there are only 8 teams in that league currently (I believe) until they elect another 2!

Wasn't it Northampton who were going to be partnered by Wakefield Wildcats next season?

Does anyone else think it's getting a bit embarrassing with all this chopping and changing regarding promotion, relegation, constantly trying to get Rugby League outside the heartland etc?

I understand that times change and improvements need to be made, but it's sickening that the clubs on which this mighty game was constructed around is falling further and further behind whilst all the focus goes on these so called 'new teams' that can't even get off the ground!!!

This is just another example of Rugby League falling short outside the Super League.

I'm looking forward to the Championship next year, not only the teams that already contest it but the 4 teams coming up. Trips to Barrow, Workington and Whitehaven will make for great days out.

Unfortunately the 2 teams left behind ( Rochdale, Oldham) will suffer in this soon to be very poor standard Championship 1! Who wants to travel week in week out to London, North Wales, South Wales, Gateshead, Gloucester, Hemel Hempstead and ? ?

I would guess either John O'Groats Goats RL or Lands End Leppards RL will be announced as the replacement for Northampton Nothings lol.

Totally agree, and I think this is why we have to do everything we can next season to try and ensure that we don't drop in to that division.

[Plan of Attack]

All we need now is for some prat at the RFL to suggest the top 4 super league clubs play their academy teams in champ 1

Oldham and Rochdale are in that division for a reason.

[PooingDog]

Oldham and Rochdale are in that division for a reason.

And to be honest Gav Hunslet would be in "that" division next year with Oldham and Rochdale forexactly the same reason if it wasn't for no relegation this year.
