[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 114050"] I'd run it like it was run right up until they introduced the playoffs. You say the same teams just swap between the Premiership and National One every season, but that isn't quite true. It may seem that way if you only take a sample of a few seasons, but I (just about)remember the days when the top flight contained teams such as West Hartlepool, Richmond and Orrell. It was only a few seasons back that Rotherham were in the Premiership, Worcester have not been a truly top level team for that long, and there are numerous teams now pushing towards Premiership status - Earth (lol) ***ans, Bedford, Doncaster, Plymouth, Exeter, Cornish Pirates - all have come close to reaching (or the case of ***ans and Bedford, returing to) the top league. It really isn't as predictable as you say. You can't judge the situation purely by looking at Leeds and Harlequins in the last two seasons. [/QUOTE]
