| If we really cared about Int RL and cared more than we do about SL then here is what I would do when made king!
1. Remove 500,000 pounds from each SL club grant per year
2. Give each SL club an area containing 50 schools
3. Entice those 50 schools to play RL with an annual grant of 10,000 pounds each to run two age teams in an inter school comp running from Feb-June. The grant could be used for pitch and facility development, teachers to get coaching qualifications, kit etc.
4. For the SL club to get the rest of the TV grant they have to provide those 50 schools ith support, coaching clinics, meet the players etc etc
5. As part of the holding of a franchise Sl clubs have to run an elite schoolboy academy picking the best kids from thsoe 50 school competitions. These elite squads then play each other during summer holidays in an interclub elite competition. The kids receive a higher level of coaching as well as get inspiration to go on and work hard to become pro RL players.
Imagine somewhere like Hull. 100 schools running two well coached and equipped teams each. 4000 kids playing schoolboy RL. Two elite squads at two age groups. WE"D SEE dozens of quality players coming through within a decade. And all for the price of 3 or 4 overseas players salaries a year!

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| Forget the schools get the kids down to amateur clubs where the coaches are incredibly dedicated and see RL as the best sport in the world.

| A really radical solution - get a team in the NRL with only British players in it - that is the best chance we have of challenging the Aussies in the near future

And how do you propose we do that in the face of soccer, poor facilities and a general lack of awareness of the game for the most part? At least at school you have a captive audience!

| What about introducing a points system for imports.
Cant play in Superleague unless they have a certain number of points
EG
Australian International 50pts
Aust. int within last 2 seasons/S.O.O. current or within last season 30pts
Aust. int within last 3 seasons/S.O.O. within last 2 seasons 20pts
And tier it depending on ranking of said Nation, Age etc.
Stops journeyman and players looking for big pay offs at the end of thier career.
So Lockyer maybe a top tier player on paper but is penalised on points by age.
Clubs are limited to 3 players, and must contain a mixture of forwards and backs
Clubs are also rewarded for using homegrown talent:
Through their own academy - 2.5% rebate per player on their wage bill which the RFL put back into the specific clubs Academy
Encourages home grown talent and investment into English players
Just an Idea

But they need summat to spark their interest before going down to an amateur club.
