SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
Wellsy13 has hit the nail on the head, it's not like the leagues have been totally ringfenced along with devalued - if anything it opens up the league to ambitious teams who previously wouldn't have had a chance at promotion. The proper way to expand is from the bottom up, the proposals make sense.
If you have a better plan that is viable then please share it. I see lots of criticism (some of which is simply incorrect) yet nothing constructive at all. It all amounts to a whinge at new things, basically.

Posted loads of other options in the past , some similar to what is going to happen at these new clubs , its just 4 all at once will cause a few issues with existing clubs , even the RFL admitted as such when they first announced it

It really is that simple , this equation applies to all sports at all levels , you only had to witness the empty seats at old trafford last night to understand it , the Challenge Cup matches between SL and Championship clubs shows it quite clearly in RL
1 new club every 2 years is probably sensible , 4 all at once is just a gimmick or knee jerk reaction IMO
Correct on all counts. Why this is beyond the comprehension of the RFL i do not know.

Unbelievably clueless
So you're saying it's impossible for the clubs who do not play well enough to earn promotion this time around will never be able to in subsequent seasons?
