That's an interesting perspective because I've had the reverse experience. I've often enjoyed the Championship matches more than the Superleague matches and sometimes there honestly isn't a lot of difference (look at how far Fax pushed Castleford in the CC round, for example). I watched Doncaster -v- Fax last week and I thought Doncaster were heroic given what has happened to that club recently. Granted, Fax weren't firing on all cylinders - still getting over their defeat at Castleford I think - but given the cobbled together nature of Doncaster they played some skillful rugby and the enthusiasm and determination they showed would put Saints to shame just now (who played the dullest rugby ever invented on Friday night).
I haven't watched Championship 1 matches as they aren't televised but I'm sure there are teams in that league also that can really pull off some good rugby.

Super League is the holy grail in terms of the pinical of the sport and i just hope we get in SL next time the franchises come around or else i fear for our clubs future and the leagues below SL in general.'"
I hope this isn't true. I've no idea whether it is, but I hope it isn't.
