Great idea!

Let's get rid of this traditional home and way league style system, and have 13 games (13 being the RL number after all!) all on the road! It will reduce player-burnout and give us a big event all over the country after all!

Cardiff, Murrayfield, Wembley, Croke Park, Parc de Princes, Nou Camp, St James Park, Anfield, Elland Road, Eastlands, Villa Park, Celtic Park and Hillsborough.

No home games. No away games. All neutral. The only fair way!

No, it wouldn't work.

People wouldn't have the money for a start.

Besides a club would not survive without any home games.

How about instead of SL matches we play a CC round?
Would get a different mix of teams, aim for 8 matches so 16 clubs. More interest for neutrals than a SL match...

I like this idea, 6th round has 8 matches so that would be ideal. Or somewhere with two decent stadia (london with wembley and twickenham) do the whole 5th round of 16 matches!

I really like the sixth round idea as well - it would be brilliant for our game if the beeb could transmit all 8 games even via red button.

More controversially perhaps the top eight super league teams should start their campaigns in the 6th round and the draw for the sixth round for those teams should be made in december with balls for 8 qualifiers in the bag at the same time.

That way some would play each other whilst the rest would have to wait until after the fifth round to find out their opponent but the rfl and fans could plan most of the event.

It would also give every game the extra spice of a win knocking the other team out.

If we had 8 CC matches over a weekend, would 70k fans paying £25 each split btwn 16 clubs (approx £1k to each club) be a worthwhile return for the clubs involved?

How much did the clubs receive for their fifth round games this year as they gave free tickets to season tickets holders.

I think if a knockout competive element was added to every game at Magic we would see bigger attendances.

Also their would be NL representation.

And If we switched the sixth round and allowed the top eight to enter at that stage we could schedule a clear international weekend and the top eight teams would play 2 less games MM and the fifth round.

Kills a number of birds with one stone.

The CC ticket was included in the price of a season ticket, it wasn't free.

I agree, whoever mooted this idea in the first place was obviously onto something ... just need to sort out some details and pass it on to Richard Lewis - where's Albert when you need him.
