or maybe Super (with minimum away support) League, should be a great atmosphere that.

They all personally sponsor Nigel Wood.

their is a lot of problems with super league but you are not going to solve them go away please the only thing i agree with is drop P&R that makes sense

Yeah bring back franchise and watch clubs go bankrupt again,remind me how many went bang under your beloved franchise and how many under the current format remind me again how many new clubs under franchise ? Compared to now were clubs have and want to join ,funny how it's the team at the bottom who want to bring back franchise yeah let's go back to pointless games after 4 weeks of a season zzzzzzzzz

I quite like the idea of bringing London back into SL - after all it worked so well last time.

They are well placed to get back on merit.
They only need to beat Leeds in the M8's and they will be on their way

Seriously though, the only way for the sport to expand, without it taking most of this century, is to go with some sort of franchise system but, we scrapped that model 2 years ago.
Another piece of brilliant forward thinking by all involved.

Clearly, there needs to be some serious thought on the best way forward for the game and this needs to be have input from clubs and fans alike.

The inclusion of Toulouse, who look pretty strong and 2? Canadian clubs, is exciting but, do we expect them to make the grade for SL or, are we just "waiting to see" what happens.

IF the sport is going to develop and IF we are to have additional clubs in SL from other countries, then there will be casualties from the heartland clubs (or we run with an expanded SL) but, yet again, there is just no dialogue from the games administrators.

Expect the usual "mushroom" style, kept in the dark and regularly fed with s4it"

P+r does not work in RL.

We just seem to love the romance of some of the village clubs being able to make it into SL.

Thank God we don't have one up one down like so many want. We could lose 200k a year spectators that frequent the Rhinos to be replaced by Broncos who play on a park field or a suburb of Wigan.

ANYTHING but bring back franchising, it made following the game a chore rather than a pleasure, after a quarter of a season teams had nothing to play for. I blame franchising for nearly killing my club as fans just weren't bothered..... Literally some of my mates had season tickets and wouldn't go for free to the games at the end of the season. How can you expect people to pay for something people won't have for free ?? If it was upto me I'd have 1 up 1 down with a top 5 play off system.

Catalans are a decent side but surely by now the French should have a whole RL league of their own and field a decent international side.

The problem, unfortunately, is that people aren't that interested in RL and not matter how much money you throw at teams in expansion areas, unless they expand domestically as well, the expansion is a falsehood.

Toulouse has been around a while as has the french Elite league but I don't hear of a fully pro RL league in France similar to SL being considered, simply because of the deafening lack of domestic french investment. A big shame, but there it is.

Ditching the heartland clubs in favour of expansion is actually more suicidal and false than keeping the status quo in the long term.

More should be done to create domestic professional leagues in all countries first. This in turn would produce an authentic international game. SL could then become like a Champions League in football. However, doing this first is not the right answer.

Wasn't it partly because of franchising that Cas were able to build year on year to become a top 6 club that you are now?

One up one down is ridiculous for a comp the size of SL. How many clubs did it almost kill trying to chase the dream.

We have no clubs other than Bradford that I would say bring anything to
SL.

Maybe have P&R with the team coming up getting one years grace if they finish bottom

What like repeated insolvency.

What does a small club like Leicester bring to soccer, sod all get rid of them?
