If we're to be forced into having p&r (urgh), has anyone suggested a system based on average performance over a longer period? I came across just this sort of system in the Argentinian football league - the bottom three teams based on the average points scored in the previous three seasons are relegated - therefore, a team getting promoted finds it much easier to stay up than a team that's been struggling for a longer period. Probably deemed by some as too complicated, but, as for any of these systems, nobody's asking the fans to do the maths.

Intense, nail-biter, Hull wasted it.

I'm trying to picture Oxley (not seen a picture for 20 years), and my brain gives me Gordon Brown. How odd!

I keep banging my own little drum - we need a pathway in, but not necessarily a pathway out again, and therefore we need NFL-style organisation where the number of teams in the top tier can be flexible. It would be a horrible decision to reopen the trap door and further jeopardise the investment and development that the likes of Widnes and Catalan have been able to make.
