| Cutting the league back would mean less chance of upsets....like last night 
And judging by the posts from other club's supporters they like the David's turning the Goliath's over too.
Besides,at international level did we achieve success when the league was at 12?.
The players at the more successful clubs will always play more games, and thats why they want to be there,playing finals and winning trophies,can't have it both ways ,eh Jamie  |

Only if the team getting kicked out is (rightfully) Salford! |

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

The YP is incorrect - Wakefield did what was expected and voted for 14 clubs!

Life at work is like a tree full of monkeys; all on different branches, different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkey's on the bottom look up and see nothing but arseholes:6251.jpg |

I think the problem is that we want more media coverage for this great game of ours. The media tell us that they'll only get it if we're a national sport (we are at amateur level). I honestly think that the RFL think if they get a team in Superleague from Ireland, Scotland and maybe another Welsh or French team then they'll warrant the coverage.
What they don't seem to care about is the effect of reducing the league to 12 or having teams from outside the traditional areas will have on all of the old teams and the communities that watch them?
I'm also led to believe that the late night kick off times prevent next day tabloid coverage - I think this is a cop out as it doesn't appear to effect the football.

I completely disagree with the posts in this thread but I can understand peoples opinions.
For the fella who mentioned only 4 extra games it's more to do with the length of the preseason.
People like Peacock are having 3 week preseasons, you can never get proper preparation in that time.
Because the NRL starts in march look at the size Burgess will turn out come kick off time. Imagine a month longer on the weights and on preparation work.
