Reorganisation of the domestic game took another step forward when the 14 Super League clubs finally ruled out a proposal to drop to 10 at their annual meeting in Bradford. It is thought just four clubs were in favour of keeping the option alive, with Huddersfield the only one to push strongly for it.
The clubs agreed last month to cut their number from 14 and ditch the current licensing system in favour of a restoration of promotion and relegation.
Now just two proposals remain up for debate. One is for two divisions of 12 with a straightforward system of promotion and relegation between the two.
The alternative is the option being pushed by the Rugby Football League which involves both Super League and a 12-team Championship being split after 23 rounds into three qualifying play-off groups of eight clubs.
