Quote: Starbug "The Championship version against the French was poorly supported
Just saying like'"
But that was not comparable.
The Championship and French clubs competing had much much smaller fan bases than the SL and NRL clubs we are talking about (e.g. three out of Melbourne, South Sydney, Canterbury, Manly, Nth Queensland, Sydney Roosters, Brisbane vs three out of Leeds, Warrington, Huddersfield, Wigan, Bradford, Catalans, St Helens).
The Championship and French clubs competing had a much lower standard of rugby league than the SL and NRL clubs we are talking about.
So that example is irrelevant.
Much more important is getting the season time scheduling right, as I have written about in my post above.
