Well we agree on one thing then Jamie , unfortunatley he wants more SKY money to finance less games and doesn't say who those teams should be or how it would be decided

It would improve the Championships though , he says

According to the League Express

Linky?

..............or have you taken to having afternoon tea and chat with Mr Peacock?

Is he a hob-nob man or is he into these fancy frangipanes?

A bit wierd , the only person I've ever seen dip Yarkshiore puddings into his tea [ Yarkshiore tea of course ]

We do indeed at the moment, there isn't the talent to go around them all. But admitting that and shelling teams would be defeatists. They should instead try to focus on making people want to play the game so that there are more decent players in 'Super' League.

I agree with him - get some SL clubs back down in the Championship. I'll be the first to say it ................

"The Championship needs a strong [[iinsert club[/i]........"


I'll go for Salford, Wakefield & Wales. Maybe Warrington too? Let's make it a crackin' Championship.

Yep rich 70 odd viewings but only a couple of replies

If jamie needs a rest then why doesn't he suggest dropping Leeds down to the Championships with us

Leeds can't drop down. They're the elite. The cream. What an absurd suggestion that Leeds would muddy a stud on any Championship cow field. The Challenge Cup is bad enough. Off with your head for suggesting such a thing. Jamie sits amongst the Gods. Like Zeus, he can pass comment on mere mortals without ever having to suffer the fate of a decision which he thinks should be made.

Anyway, unitil John Wilkin speaks, such matters aint worth shoite.

I wonder how long it'll be before we get a Super League 2???

I don't agree with his 10-team suggestion, the game needs to spread in this country.

At the moment we (UK rugby league) are still growing into a 14 team league - standards, as always, need to rise so SL teams are hitting the benchmarks set by their Aus/NZ counterparts. Two years before the next World Cup, the number of overseas trained players per club will fall to 5 (from 10 in 200icon_cool.gif and clubs will be required to have 8 home grown and 12 UK-trained players in their 25-man squads.

The size of the league definitely [ishouldn't[/i be expanded to 16 before the WC because I doubt the league would be able to do that and increase the intensity of matches across the board to something approaching NRL levels.

Yes yes yes , but none of this will give him either less games or more money , or both , will it ?

That was really witty tbf
It would make the games much more intense, NRL like however it would prove RL to be the minority sport it is.

I don't think it'll be anything but a minority sport .........ever.

So, might as well have it as the intensity of the NRL. Make it squeeky clean elite. Weed out the damp as well as the dry rot.

Bradford
Castleford
Catalans Dragons
Hull
Leeds
St Helens
Warrington
Wigan
