[Cinnamon Bun 569]

In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system. 

 

The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did. 

 

The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.
