Please forgive my ignorance, but when this restructuring stuff first came out it seemed like a long way off and I didn't pay attention. Now its here I haven't a clue what it means. Can anyone explain simply in language an idiot like me can understand?
I suppose I'd assumed that the bottom 4 in Superleague and the top 4 in the division below that (sorry, can't remember what it's called) play in a mini-league with 2 points for a win, points difference etc deciding the places as normal. At the end the top 4 go into Superleague 2016, the bottom 4 into the division I can't put a name to. So we'd need to finish in the top 4. But I'm sure it can't be that simple.
Thanks.

It means that if you lose most of your games in the middle 8's (which I don't expect you will do) then you'll be a fully fledged member of this "division below".

Lose 3 games and you'll likely be in a nail-biter of a decider to see if you stay in SL.

Relax though, I genuinely think HKR have least to worry about in the middle 8's.

A bit of a shame that our DR relationship with you didn't really work this year though. Just one player really - Conner Robinson - and he's joined us on a permanent deal now (your loss from what we've seen - he's a real diamond!!).

We don't hang on to youngsters. We just bring Loanees in. It's all a ploy just to annoy Dave K.

Am I the only who is worried regarding all our youngsters being released and not given opportunities, and also serious questions about our coach who doesn't seem to have the gumption to leave any senior players out who have been massively underperforming for weeks! Wrong man for me.

How is he? We're seen loads of stats showing he's actually just as bad as Sandercock. I was very happy to see the back of sandy, seemed to be a big grey cloud over the club during his time here. Whinging moaning git, but the results on the pitch are no different?
