| Quote: Donnyman "Expanding to 20 SL clubs gives the SL bosses control over the game, it leaves only 16 other clubs able to vote against them and so they lose the power they had in numbers when they last voted against SL's idea of 2x10. How many of those clubs will survive in a third tier we don't know?
Nothing easy about going to a 14 club top tier given this means the disaster of reduced funding would be compounded by having to share a vastly reduced money pot share with two more SL1 club mouths to feed.
Then there is the issue of the quality of the games at the bottom of the league, and not enough quality players to stock 14 clubs, we have seen several clubs implode in past years. People point to how well London last did in SL (and forget the time before they could not win a game except against Leeds reserves). My Mate Wrenners may remember Wakefield's terrible season when they were hammered in sixteen consecutive games.
I don't think SL pluck these ideas out of thin air and expect them to work unless Eric Perez.....
Indeed SKY require quality. What do SL require? Possibly the means to support what SKY want! I apologise I keep using the abbreviation SL as in Super League. Then again we could call it “Doomer League”as it would still retain the same menacing individuals of why the sport is where it’s at.
The sport requires TV broadcasting! Simple. Not at all why,the game still has the same head hunters in it.
Why does the sport take so long to make a decision? That’s because they can’t think for themselves. They have to pass it on to someone they employ. They then get told by that employee or independent person how much it will cost their own club to make change.
That’s the downfall that is killing the game. Not one Chairman can make a decision without consulting with others first.

| Quote: Donnyman "Sad to see this clown still trolling openly on here whilst he builds up his "Ismir Zaferi" character on Total RL.
His mode of operating has been to run two trolls (see Slient H and Steph Curry) on the same site, so if one gets a ban the other can carry on which didn't work last time but is working now.
He can currently troll both sites, so he's probably very pleased indeed at that................ One over on the Mods......'"
Please leave me out of your gossip column.

| The way the game is run is nothing short of a farce. No vision, no future planning. Its just make it up as one goes along.

If it happens it won't last long, because this is rugby league.

| Take you pick from 2 leagues of 10, 12 or 14. The Australian model, promotion & relegation or franchising, play offs with 4, 5, 6 or 8 teams, FPTP, some will like it, others won’t. There isn’t one model that will satisfy all.
Personally I quite like the idea of franchising 20 teams into 2 divisions of 10. Play each team in your group twice and each team in the other once. Promotion and relegation between the 2. Top 5 playoff in each to determine the champions and the bottom of the top tier is relegated.
Review the franchises every X years where any team which has finished in the bottom 2 or 3 of the second tier has to bid and new teams can apply for the next period.
All I really long for though is a stable format that we stick with as this changing every 4 or 5 years does my head in.

| Is there any truth in the rumours that the CC will be restructured into a champions league style format?
