make it a 2 game series,winner decided by aggregate score...


start the season 1 week early and enter the SL clubs into the challenge cup at round5 instead of round4....that will create a 2week gap to have a 2 game series..i'd host the games back to back and i'd also have the england knights play curtain raisers against wales,scotland,ireland or france

3 games series on friday nights with all Super league matches played the following sunday with SL squads made up of players 25 years or younger.

About time.

Also i believe rlfans should get a petition going. James Childs is officially the worst referee in superleague. The fact that this man is a professional really hurts the sport.

Along with 95% of touch judges.

Reffing in superleague is at an all time low

is it just me or did anyone else notice that on kearneys try bradford got an extra tackle?

had to watch it again this morning to make sure but james child called second tackle twice, surely a full time ref should be able to count :s

as for the touch judges dont think they have bothered to make a decision so far this season

Perhaps all those supporters whingeing about the Exile game should have thought of the concequences before voting for half their own team instead of going for the better options.

i know alot of SL fans voted for players from their rivals

I'd drop the Magic Weekend (free up one week), seed R4 of the Challenge Cup so it's R3 winners vs SL clubs (so clubs won't be as affected by the loss of players to England and the Exiles) and then have to double up one weekend (as we do now).

I'd also have more than just England vs the Exiles each weekend.

England vs Exiles (3-test series)
Yorkshire vs Lancashire (3-test series)
Wales vs France vs Ireland vs Scotland (3 games round robin, European Cup)
Lebanon vs Italy vs Russia vs Serbia (3 games round robin, European Shield)
Germany vs Czech Republic vs Malta vs Catalonia (3 games round robin, European Bowl South)
Norway vs Sweden vs Latvia vs Ukraine (3 games round robin, European Bowl North)

We need to show that we have international games, and have international windows. If we start it, and develop it, then hopefully the southern hemisphere lot will follow suit round origin time (they're never gonna drop origin, but why can't the Kiwis play at the same time?).

Please don't tell me you genuinely believe the Exiles selectors went with the choices of the fans??!

Hmm.

Teams win.

Teams lose.

Players get injured.

Players score 5 tries in a match.


Yep!!!!!!


I agree

NO consistancy at all.

























except the consistant go at match officials

Have it as a mini-tournament:
England
Celtic team (ie, amalgum of Scotland, Wales and Ireland)
France
Exiles

England-v-Celtics
France-v-Exiles
Winner in final.

Two weekends. Potentially gives two practice games for England and gives other players a go. Keeps France as a profile team.

noticed melbourne played their origin stars in the league match after the first game, but this weekend rested them ahead of the second game

But yet in terms of Penalties Conceded you are miles better off than the average for every other team. Swings and roundabouts perhaps.

They have no choice. The players were already in camp.

im with you on the touch judges, they do need to be sorted out. they are a disgrace at times.

Cue the responses "Oh they're all out to get us," "it's a conspiracy," etc, in order to quell any discussion about referees. Or maybe that only happens when us Wiganers complain about refs (it's a conspiracy!).
