Our top SL teams may be able to give any of the NRL teams a good game in a one-off series, could they do it for 22 rounds?
I very much doubt it.
Similarly for England/GB who can raise their game once but are found wanting when asked to do it for 2/3 times on the bounce.
That is the difference & one of the main reasons is the increased level of conditioning that the antipodean sides do due to their longer off-season.
We play too many regular season & cup games.

Yep. There are 3 major reasons why the Aussies/NRL are better than us/SL, in my opinion of course:
- The bigger talent pool (In England we have approx 9000 registered active players in the 12-16 age group. Sydney alone has 42,000)
- Feeder clubs/reserves
- Playing fewer games |

I think only the top 4 sides get into the challenge cup - and only at the last 8 stage, get rid of MM, a complete waste of time that impacts the fairness of the competition. Reduce SL to 10 teams with top two getting to the GF no play offs. Maximum any team can play is 22 games - mid season break for either internationals or WCC - although WCC at that time of the season could be embarrassing.

Agree with that except the play offs. If you did not have them it might as well just be top champions. Make it top five and have play offs.
Instead of magic weekend have a 9's tournament big style, with lots of media exposure. |

Less SL games could work for the likes of those who'll repeatedly make the money-making expanded WCC......but what does only 9 home league games do for those outside that top 4 money wise? |

The problem with reducing the number of games is that the clubs need the money. Only 11 games isn't many to bring revenue in.
I'd actually increase the number of games clubs play but reduce the number of games our top players play.

Would devalue the league imo. We already have complaints that we lack 'big names'. If I'm tuning to watch Saints or Warrington I want to watch the likes of Roby, Clark and Hill play.....not sat on the sidelines because of some number of games played quota. |
