Must admit, i'd forgotten MM was an additional weekend, but it's still very manageable. Make MM a weekly round, don't schedule local derbies so you don't hit the nominated "home" side with a big loss of home revenue. Allow the nominated home club to keep a % of the ticket price of tickets they sell (not sure if the RFL control this). With no outgoings, the majority of this % would be profit. half the league then have 1 less home game than the others, but without a complete loss. alternate the home side each year so to keep it fair. Not clean, but not impossible if we wanted it. I remember a few years ago we had a similar situation when we had a 12 team league yet played i think 27 games per year. It also gives the MM a pinnacle game and IMO increases the status of the WCC.
