Quote: Listenup94 "All the championship and league one clubs should meet up in the George hotel and breakaway from super league . Rename the sport and rewrite the rules to how it used to be when you could actually make a tackle without being scared of hurting someone’s earlobe ( players sign up to it knowing what there getting thereselves into whilst implementing the best modern care they can get ) promotion relegation reinstated negotiate a new tv deal . If the sport can grow organically from the bottom up rather than the top down gradually introduce regional divisions . Sport isn’t sport without hope n jeopardy.'"
Agree, and don't invite Toulouse and London. Have smaller squads, just have 2 subs and revert to the 5 yard defensive rule (I've always thought 10 yards is too much of a killer).
Have a relatively low salary cap meaning ALL teams would have to include at least 4 or 5 "cheap" young up and coming players.
Have several competitions running side by side giving a greater chance for silverware. When I warra lad we had the Yorkshire/Lancashire Cup, the John Player/Regal Trophy, the BBC Floodlit Cup, the Championship and the Challenge Cup. We even had the Charity Shield on the Isle of Man.
And I'd seriously go back to winter rugby. Those dark gloomy Sunday afternoons were made much better with a fill of good RL, especially the Boxing Day local derbies.
Stuff SL. They're a bask case anyway waiting to implode.
