Hull KR the pride of East Hull.:



If we are changing the structure.

I'd have.

SL
14 teams, play each other home and away. Top 6 play off, 3 v 6, 4 v 5, Then lowest placed winner faces 1, 2 v the other winner. 14th placed team relegated, 13 plays mpg game against 2nd in the championship at a neutral venue.

CHAMPIONSHIP
14 teams. 1st automatically prompted, 2nd as said above. 3,4,5,6 play off for league shield. Bottom team relegated. Next to bottom place 2nd in league 1 on the saume day but before the above mpg.

LEAGUE 1
16 teams, play each other home and away, Promotional issues as mentioned above. 3,4,5,6 play off for shield.

WORLD CLUB CHALLENGE.
SL winners v NRL winners, Challenge cup winners v 1st in the NRL (If same as GF Winners then in SL top placed team in SL, NRL GF Losers).
Games to be held in neutral venues i.e USA, Canada,Spain,Italy etc.

EXPANSION CLUBS.
Start in league 1, to build a fan based etc, so if it does go unfortunately wrong - A) it doesn't cause to much disruption to the game. B) If they're higher up, they will still hopefully have a core support based, and local support that it shouldn't effect them to much.

CHALLENGE CUP
Finnish it by last bank holiday in May. Clubs who get home draws, Should be made to offer season ticket holders there seat for half price. No game till the final should be more than £20, most less. Final still at Wembley.

MAGIC WEEKEND & SUMMER BASH.
Because of the above suggestion with regards the challenge cup. The summer bash would be moved to the 1st bank holiday weekend in may.
The magic weekend I would move to the last weekend of the season.

TRANSFERS
All signings and loan deals should be completed by the 1st game of the season. The window shouldn't start again till the end of the season. You can do deals, just not announce them, if you have injuries use your youngesters.

INTERNATIONALS
The world cup is obviously every 4 years. So I'll do it from this year. 2017 world cup. 2019 A Hemisphere cup, Southern hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, PSG, Cook Islands, Tonga, Samoa, USA 1 other). Northern Hemisphere (England, Wales,Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Canada and 1 other). 2 groups of 4, 1 v 2 as semi's, final. The 1 other would involve a competition of smaller nations the year before, winner takes said place.
2020 - British Lions v Anzac's (obviously a combined Aussie & Kiwi side)tests. 3 test, plus full tour I.e. Midweek and Saturday games. Repeat every 4 years.

I would also alternative between hemisphere so 2017 WC Australia, 2020 Lions test northern hemisphere etc.2021 WC northern hemisphere. 2023 lions tests Southern hemisphere.

Just a few ideas how I would like to see RL move forward.

Why do we need to keep the teams at the bottom playing for something. Don't like this whole idea that every team needs something to play for through the whole year.

All sporting competitions has teams who end middle of the road. No idea why super league has to be different.

But the ones that people turn up in numbers to watch don't. Middle of the road in the Premiership is different to being out of the top 8 running half way through the season. £25 becomes a lot to pay for a match that isn't much more than a friendly.
