| Quote: Him "9 home games per season isn’t enough to sustain clubs.
Instead of doing 2 10 team leagues I’d rather expand it to 1 league of 20 and say that’s it. A franchise model like in the NRL. Play every team once and play the other 9 in your half of the league twice. Total of 28 league games. Top 8 playoff.
Clubs judged on a variety of areas every 5 years but especially marketing/finances etc. If clubs can’t hack it they get dropped down to Championship and have to make their case for re-inclusion in 5 years time.'"
This sounds ok, as long as it is executed properly and transparently. Means it doesn't even have to be 20. Can be 14-15 or whatever number, and increase over time if need be.
The top 6 in the championship all need to make clear what their plans are for being a full time club, with teams across all grades. And if the plans are realistic, then let them in.

| 10 teams is too few. 6 team playoff from 10 is a joke.

This x100000000.
I don't see why the sport is so against going back to structures that worked in the past. 12 or 14 teams. 1 up, 1 down, 5 team play-offs. Bring the CC games earlier in the season so people more likely to go. Simples.

The damage is already done. Time for change again and stick with it.

We can't have a Middle 8's outweighing the top 8's, was always going to be on the cards. Just shows the way forward looks grim again at present.

I'm all for expansion and growing the game. But no one would watch a sport were the positions are fixed. Get there on merit or not at all.
Toronto are doing fine with the current formula.
Back on topic, this does seem like rearranging deck chairs. If they want to grow the game then clubs need to market themselves. You don't hear rugby union teams saying moving the format will grow the game. They are pro active and sell their own clubs.
Again this seems like the chairmen are looking for a format to sell the game rathet than just selling the game themselves.
