And also the proposals would appear to offer incentives to encourage neighbouring clubs to merge according to the Rugby Leaguer & League Express.  Double funding would be available to any club formed until 2014 and a championship place guaranteed. That's only the same as the two clubs would have got ... but to one club instead. This better not happen ... any clubs agreeing to this deserve to be ostracised. I for one would not go to see a Dons side that had joined with say the Eagles. |

That wasn't in the ' statement ' , what exactly did it say ? |

So if we don't make it into the Championship where does that leave us? In a league with how many other clubs? I hope this is not a roundabout way of the RFL getting rid of the left overs! |

There will still be a Championship One, which could include new teams (such as Bramley, Nottingham, Hemel, Coventry) |

We'd probably win quite a few games but the standard of rugby would be much worse. No disrespect to the teams you have mentioned but we need to be with the 'proper' teams. |

I'd imagine the hope is to bring those teams up to the standard, which to be fair there is not a great deal of difference between for some teams already in Champ One. But it would be a huge difference to get ourselves in the Championship as I agree that in ther short term at least the standard will drop. |
