I would like to see the RL press bring together some of the CEO's/Chairmen/Owners of clubs and have a discussion with them about some of the controversial issues of the day. For example how good would it be to have Des Johnson of Barrow, Steve O'Connor from Widnes, around the table with some of the SL club officials and, better still, with someone from the RFL present also, especially if they were asked questions to do with: promotion relegation, the franchise system, the RFL treatment of expansion and heart-lands clubs, clubs who promised grounds in their last franchise bids - and then didn't deliver, attendances, having a franchise point for having a British coach, youth development, what does your club bring to SL? what are the problems of missing out on a SL place after submitting a bid, etc.
Fans would love to read about a civilised debate, or head-to-head like this. But would the newspapers find willing participants? They could always report on who had chosen to turn down an invitation to such a debate.

I still remember him claiming that Bradford would win it and to mark his words. I laughed and he entered into an abuse rant. Result = Bradford finished 9th

and your comment has just made me do the exact same with my fruit and fibre

I agree with yours and others comments re going to print a couple of days later. We can all access so much more these days online, the explosion of rugby league news on twitter in recent months for example, and the wonderful new site for score updates loverugbyleague.com. Maybe SL and Championship match reports should be available online via blogs/twitter the papers own websites....and the paper, online or otherwise would serve more purpose with features, interviews, coaches thoughts etc etc incl letters from Mick
Leaving more room for the match reports etc from lower leagues etc...I like the old match reports too and history of the game, and the idea to do features on unsung heroes and club stalwarts - Tommy Sale for a gong anyone

Then the papers could do more looking forward to the next round of matches, having picked up injury news, opta stats, disciplinary reports and match official appointments - It might have to be Wednesdays
