Personally I think eight would be the best number.
But in this financial climate we are kidding ourselves with even four players on the subs bench. If the crowd goes down then so should the number of substitutes on the bench. |

Teams like Celtic/Quins and Salford better be careful, when they run out of subs to get rid of do they have to get rid of starting players??  |

If it was my choice Celtic, Harlequins and Salford would just play in the floodlight 9s competition every year. Then when we’ve got enough interest in them three clubs we can push them to play in the The Co-operative Championship 1 competition.
The money that’s going into these three clubs that not many care about would be better going towards dog charities. A lot of dogs are getting neglected in this recession.
We should be saving dogs not rugby league clubs!

Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army.
Rudge: Where? India?
Fletcher: No, Bradford.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40413.jpg |

This bit is genius but you haven't gone far enough for me.
Leeds have the biggest attendances so they get to field 17 players each week, everyone else gets as many players as their percentage of the Leeds average allows.
Wigan get 12, St Helens maybe get 10, Bradford 9 and someone like Harlequins about 3.
Those games I'd pay good money to watch.
This suggestion is almost as good as having the play-offs in mid season. |

Unfortunately my brain doesn't work at those kind of limits, that was an actual Damo suggestion from earlier in the season (if not on this board it must have been on the virtual terrace - that I occassionally look at at quiet times in here.)
I love 'our' Damo, every club should have one. |

[b:3v5chy3z]Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.
"He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"[/b:3v5chy3z]:38511.jpg |

What about a club like the Bulls then,how would the loss of their thousands of lets"jump on the band waggon"fans affect their match day squad Damo?
Would they have to play with only 7 players each week?icon_lol.gif |

You make it personal by your response which is uncalled for, unless of course you feel Damo is not entitled to a opinion?

Well why not?
Pubs get closed up and down the country because people don’t attend. Same should be applied to rugby league clubs. There’s one thing this all makes - financial sense!
