| Quote: Huddersfield1895 "There is no chance what so ever of Benji or Billy playing in Super League for many years, if at all. We have a situation now in Super League where players who haven't played a single game in the NRL can come and play Super League straight away like Ryan Tongia did this past weekend for Wakey. A vast majority of imports bring nothing to the British game, surely a better long term bet would be to give British talent a chance, which some clubs seem very reluctant to do always looking for the easy option of importing an overseas player, and then looking to see if they can get him off the overseas quota stopping the progress of British talent.'"
I didn't disagree with reducing the number of overseas players, just don't see the benefit in stopping them altogether.

| Hudds 1895- I agree some of the imports are rubbish. Kauparatsis(sp) at Quins rubbish, 2 second rowers we had last year at Quins rubbish. A few years ago we brought some prop in who was injured an never played. Its crazy

| Why not just have a 4 team Super League with Wigan, Warrington, Saints and Leeds playing each other 8 times a season. I did suggest this several seasons ago although the 4 then were Saints, Leeds, Hull and Bradford. Lucky for Warrington that it never happened as they were crap at that time. Suppose teams outside the proposed 10 would be similarly unlucky now.

Why? We've been poor this season for well documented reasons - we've never been perennial whipping boys like Huddersfield back with P+R with 12 teams. There's no team in Superleague who gets slaughtered every week normally.
I think it's incredibly arrogant to even suggest kicking 4 teams out of the league, why not just have Saints, Warrington, Leeds and Wigan in the league then you can all sit round patting each other on the back at what a talented league you have.
As I said before, Ludicrous.

| Why are you equating a 10 team league with a 4 team league?

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

The assumption is there are only 4 genuine ' Super ' clubs for Super league , but you knew exactly what I meant , didn't you

I honestly didn’t, I don’t know why anyone thought that point would be relevent. As such i didnt assume they would. It’s a straw man which idiots and morons hide behind.
It would take somebody of truly limited intelligence to make the argument that changing the league from 14 clubs to 10 clubs is the same, or even in anyway related to changing the league from 14 clubs to 4.

Really? So you'd be quite happy to reduce the league by 4 teams? (Let's say Wakey Salford, Cas and Widnes ) - so that the pool of quality of the players available would increase to the benefit of the remaining teams as their is supposedly not enough talent to go around.
All I was suggesting is why not go the whole hog and field 4 teams of superstars and play in a league of their own? Each team plays each other 5 times - Job's a goodun!

| Have you seen how many clubs are in the Championship and Championship 1?
But it's okay, nobody cares about us.

That's 12 teams, and they have a neccesity to play more games than is the case in Super League.
Not sure chopping to 10 would be quite the solution (although I'd be prepared to try it). The risk of moving to 14 teams was well worth a chance but sadly I don't think it's worked out IMHO. Go back to 12 sides for the time being but slash the quota and tighten up the loopholes. The Championships could certainly do with the couple of extra sides this would provide, for a start.

| SL is going with 14 clubs for the next three years and thereafter.
Fewer clubs is not what we need but more players.
Until clubs are made to depend on their own youth development and not buy in a squad then RL will struggle in this country.
The 8 club trained should go from being in the squad 25 as now to being in the game 17. Also increase that by 1 per year for the following 3 years.
That would concentrate club's minds on developing their own players.
