Step 1. We know we have the greatest game and the 2019 tweaks help redress the slippage of late.

Step 2. Then its all about marketing. Marketing requires a consistent, identifiable, unique and compelling brand image. Two refs is one component from 2020, the Steedon ball etc - but a lot more can be learned and adopted from how the NRL does things. Needs commitment to do it not to mention hard work.

Let's have a truly global game. A process to discuss, agree, establish and maintain one set of laws by the NRL, SL, RFL and RLIF is essential. Given the starting point, this will be driven by the NRL - but the balance would be redressed over time.

The NRL and SL seasons need to be aligned so far as possible. Points to a 14 team Super League (by inviting in two overseas teams for 2020) (thus avoiding loop fixtures with Magic Weekend becoming the Challenge Cup last 16 on first weekend in May) but also retaining P&R thereafter.

All these changes yet still nothing done about the PTB. You want to align with the NRL then sort this PTB out as its simply a joke and its crazy that SuperLeague have not addressed this.

Totally agree , I remember one season when the RFL clamped down on this , they went through a period where they clamped down on a particular part of the game at the start of the season ... it never lasted long . Its so easy to police , simply keep penalising the offending team , the message will soon get through .

And I hope this season we dont see players feigning injury , no place for it in the game .

And no throwing the ball at a player who cant clear the ruck , or is on the ground . Simply penalise the player who threw the ball at him , again the message will soon get through .

We seem to focus on rule tweaks and speeding the game up. Cricket and Union are slower sports but have grown the awareness of there sports and ultimately seen increases in crowds(and sponsorship)

We need to do a lot more than shot clocks that's for sure.

Well they have had the radical idea of reducing interchanges so players get tired and its easier to score tries in theory.

They have obviously identified that the game in the UK is as dull as dishwater at the moment
