Even if 2 x 10 would be a good concept, how will this unite the sport.
Four clubs to be culled from the top flight and a further 8 clubs to be culled form the second tier of RL,
i'm sure that they and their supporters will all be delighted.

You want it as you know Leigh won't get into Superleague.

Leigh are in, we've had the 'Widnes Whisper'  , but think 2 x 10 is what the sport needs. Having recently been in with us scum you would know that there are only 4/5 teams capable of sl2, and I believe a £1m min salary spend would sort them out. The make up would be 4 down 4 up and 2 expansion, ie Toulouse plus 1, ideally South Wales if based in Cardiff/Swansea.

| Would SL2 be full time? If so, it's a recipe for disaster.

I think that the proposed set up is for 2 full time leagues of 10.
Also there would be a lower cap for league 2 than SL1, but this would still represent an increase on the current championship cap.
Why do you think full time would be a disaster ?
Surely, for the long term future of the game and with the hope of one day becoming competetive against the Aussies, we need the largest pool of pro players possible.
Equally, if there are more full time opportunities in the game, maybe more young lads may be tempted into the game ?

Apologies, having re-read my post I meant to say, if it's NOT full time it will be a disaster. You can't have a PT league "feeding" a FT league on a yearly basis, not enough time.
Having said that, I don't think we can support 20 FT clubs anyway so my typo is correct

| No, 14 is more than enough for SL.
IMO, have a 9's competition in Manchester over Magic Weekend. Two groups of 7, top 2 into the semi-finals. The winners get 4 SL points, the runners-up 3 points and the two losing semi-finalists 2 points.
As has been mentioned by loads, reduce the number of SL matches, and IMO only have SL teams in the Challenge Cup. Have the weekend before the CC Final free. They're playing too often. Only play 1 match over Easter too.

Why bother with the ' 9 ' s, just have a darts comp at ally pally for SL points instead

As is the usual with a thread like this, as long as the posters team is cut in not cut out, they deem it a sensible suggestion.
