Spot on, and maybe our top two or three teams MIGHT do respectably but looking at the Top 8 from this season do you think Wakey, Salford and Hudds are going to be able to hang with NRL teams twice in just over a week?

We wouldn't just lose, we would be destroyed generally across the board and ridiculed again like 97'. Their teams are light years ahead and it does pain me to say that but its reality.
Our best team can compete at home on a cold, damp night in feb against them but thats as far as it goes.

Of all reasons that could possibly be put forward, being scared is the worst i could possibly think of.

It's not being scared it's being realistic.

Would you want to see a high profile series of games between the top 8 in the SL and top 8 in the Championship? And how do you think that would end? Because the gap between SL and NRL is similar.
Lets get our own comp up to scratch and worth watching top to bottom before feeling some ridiculous urges to challenge the best league on the planet when we are miles off.

| Another beggar the quality look at the volume money grab. I would rather watch less games of higher quality than have the players (in a limited rosta sport) flogged into more and more games. We need to up the quality of the sport and for me these cash drives do not facilitate that goal.

So go top four from each then. Two groups. Still play a magic weekend style for one round. The coverage would be massive compared to now, or Magic weekend. Gives an even bigger focus for teams to finish top four also.

| If there wasn't going to be a WCC, how about a 'Charity Shield' type game. It could be taken on the road to promote the game

We've tried the top 3 recently and it flopped with comfortable 3-0 wins for the Aussies. You want to add in our 4th placed team for a beating too.
The Aussies would have little to no interest in an event that lasted 3/4 weekends. They don't need it in their schedule.
I know people are desperate for some sort of competition vs NRL teams but there just isn't one that'll work or benefit SL.

How is our comp ever going to get up to scratch when we are too scared to test it?
And we wonder why we struggle to market the game, "super league, not good enough to bother playing the best".
Also dont we have a series of high profile games between the top clubs and the bottom ones? In fact we have a competition, broadcast on national television, where next year Leeds could end up playing an amateur side. How does it end? about 80k watch at Wembley and millions on the BBC.

| With each passing season it's becoming harder to see what the CC does to enhance the game in this country. An expanded top 4 vs top 4 WCC, with the final at Wembley in the summer is way more appealing to me

No we haven’t w have tried three seperate matches on different days with two of them meaning nothing. That isn’t what I suggested at all.
