  1. The club should have took the lead on this and stood him down from playing,not wait until the RFL ban came through. In my opinion.
  2. Not sure where you get your facts figures from to come to that conclusion,however we do have some vocal players just like any other team. Dissent towards the referee is not acceptable and will only cost the team on the pitch and in their pockets. Players need to control their emotions a little better and take some decisions on the chin,I believe the standard of officiating has decreased which can become very frustrating for players.
  3. Early days but more games are being shown on TV than I can ever remember.
  4. I can see both sides to be fair,I think IMG should be given a chance. I would like to see P&R return if we ever get to the stage where enough clubs are sustainable and challenging other so called SL clubs.
  5. I agree that nothing replaces promotion but they have increased prize money and teams should surely still aspire to win something. I also like the super eights concept.
  6. Ahead of the start of the Betfred Championship season in Sheffield and Wakefield this Friday night, the Championship and League One clubs have had confirmation of a managed transition of the competition structure below Super League over the next two seasons, to produce two divisions of 12 clubs from 2026. Following a detailed six-month review involving all Tier Two and Three clubs alongside the RFL executive, the Betfred Championship will become a 13-team division for one season only in 2025, with League One expanding to become at least 10 teams - and applications to be invited for an 11th (for full details, see the summary below). From 2025, a Super Eights style system will be introduced to determine promotion and relegation between the Championship and League One. At the other end of the Championship table, increased prize money will be made available for the Grand Final winners, following a Play-Off series. Tony Sutton, the RFL Chief Executive, said: “With so much to anticipate in the 2024 Betfred Championship and League One seasons, it was important to provide clarity to all competing clubs about the structure of their competitions going forward. “The RFL began this process last September, and following significant feedback and consultation with clubs, a final proposal has been presented. “A reorganisation to produce two divisions of 12 clubs beneath the Betfred Super League will provide greater consistency and clarity across all three competitions, and also increase the intensity and quality of the Betfred Championship. “However there was a recognition that it would be unfair to reduce the Championship from 14 clubs to 12 clubs in a single season – so we have allowed a more gradual transition over two seasons, meaning a 13-team Championship in 2025. “We also recognised the need to preserve promotion and relegation between Championship and League One, and the clubs have been enthused by a Super Eights type system which will provide more attractive and meaningful fixtures for successful League One clubs by providing a significant number of fixtures between Championship and the top League One clubs. “There will be a significant increase in prize money for the Betfred Championship Grand Final winners from 2024, recognising that the winners of this match will no longer secure automatic promotion to the Super League – the Championship should be seen as a significant competition to win in its own right.” Betfred Championship and League One, 2024-26 - summary 2024 The top six in the Betfred Championship will compete in a Play-Off series as in previous seasons, with additional prize money on offer for the winners of the Grand Final – which will be played on the weekend of October 19-20. The team finishing top of Betfred League One will secure automatic promotion to the Championship, with the bottom two teams in the Championship relegated to League One. Teams finishing second to sixth in League One will then compete in a Play-Off series, with the winners then facing the 12th-placed team in the final Championship table to determine the 13thposition in the 2025 Championship. An application process will be launched for a new club to join League One in 2025 – with the RFL Board to make a decision in September. 2025 Play-Offs in the Betfred Championship will determine the champions – the number of teams qualifying for the Play-Offs from 2025 is still to be finalised. Promotion and relegation between the Championship and League One will be determined by a Super Eights style competition involving the top teams in League One, and the lowest-ranked teams in the Championship. Full details are still being worked through, but the impact will be to reduce the number of teams in the Championship in 2026 to 12. 2026 Betfred Championship and League One will each have 12 clubs. Play-Offs in the Betfred Championship will determine the champions – the number of teams qualifying for the Play-Offs is still to be finalised. Promotion and relegation between the Championship and League One will be determined by a Super Eights style competition involving the top teams in League One, and the lowest-ranked teams in the Championship.
  7. Carry on the way they are going Haven might not be around in 2025 sadly?
  8. Sad to bring it up but Haven not paying their players again and season not even started yet! Spend a load of cash on overseas signings and then don’t pay em,oh dear.
  9. Disappointing,only a young lad but hope he learns his lesson. Looked like a cheap shot to me and the game is hard enough without that.
  10. Too right it is,and no matter what people have said on here they would be there
  11. I see Joe Bullock is in Widnes squad for their game v Crusaders this weekend. Could we be facing Big Joe and Tee Ritson playing against us this season!
  12. It’s just not cricket that
  13. I’m not saying it right but the people swearing were probably below the balcony where the camera was,it was not intentional to swear into the microphone is my point.
  14. I thought that the ref showed the red card twice yesterday and TV footage confirmed this yet only Broadbent was sent off? Anyone else see this and have a view on it?
