Yes indeed
why not the following names :
1.Failed Heartland 1
2. Failed heartland 2.
in addition to this, bonus points can be awarded for :
1. acts of insolvency
2. number of years since the toilets were cleaned at the ground
3. number of fans over 1500
etc.

| I agree with Mr Peacock and wish to take his ideas further.
I am trying to get a meeting with my boss to see if this initiative can be transposed into my work.
Deal with less customers: the competition in getting through to me will remove those obviously less fit to receive any money.
More wages as I deserve it.
A shorter year and longer time-off. I will keep fit by talking and practising keyboard skills in my off-work days.
You do not have to wish me lick as , following Mr peacock's premise, I am more important than the paying fans ... sorry .. public.

So, might as well have it as the intensity of the NRL. Make it squeeky clean elite. Weed out the damp as well as the dry rot.
Bradford
Castleford
Catalans Dragons
Hull
Leeds
St Helens
Warrington
Wigan
Awesome.'"
Excellent idea Littlerich - Prehaps the RFL could then bring in the club call into every round of the fixtures. No that would be exciting.

| Stick to playing, Jamie! Clearly when it comes to the business side of sport you don't really have a clue unfortunately!
How the hell he has come up with less games and more money without thinking "how?" I have no idea! The think is, I can imagine the interview now!
I do agree that it would be more intense, and less games would be better for players, but until you can find a way to finance it then there is no point in asking for it. It's as effective as me asking for a helicopter!

| The only way to make it financially viable for players to play less games is to put a cap on the number of games they can play in the league. You can't reduce the games, we need the money.
We also need to think of other ways of getting TV money. Can we reduce SL fixtures and introduce another/reinvent an old competition(s) to sell to broadcasters?

| IMO for what its worth, i think 14 teams in super league is spot on, scrap the joke of millenium/murrayfield weekend, 26 league games in total. if u happen to be involved with a club who does'nt make play offs and say gets knocked out challenge cup early the season is 7 months max, if u happen to be involved with club who is successful the season is 8 months max with maybe no weeks break for cc cup. for the certain players who are good enough to be an international granted it can be a long season, but in my eyes its a small price to pay for being successful.

i presume he is thinking that a competition with less teams will result in a stronger, more competitive and better competition that broadcasters and sponsors will be falling over themselves to invest money into. a bit like the NFL - less teams, less games, but higher profile and more money.

| You can do it but it just means theres more clubs in championship struggling to survive winning team or not you still wont get great crowds in the championship because there nowt to play for.
The more teams in the top league the better means more clubs get more money instead of 10 teams getting all the money and championship clubs getting vitually nowt. You cant really say salford wasnt competetive last year they beat us saints and few more top 6 clubs celtic was the problem, you do get the odd blow out scores but you get that in football too which is supposed to have the best talent looking at the squads this year they look a lot better than last think it'll be a gd league.

| I remember the Leeds fans falling over themselves to have a pop at Englands number one prop, James Graham when he mentioned something similar. I expect this thread will rise to 9 pages once the leeds fans get here to have a go at Jamie peacock

Or a 14 team play off at the end of the season?

| Big massive "whooooosh" to Dally Messenger who has no understanding of irony whatsoever. You'd make a great limbo dancer Dally.

| This is a bit of blue sky thinking from Mr Peacock here. He’s raised the flag to see which way the wind blows. When he thinks outside the box like this it’s difficult not to admire his utter genius. He’s taken the problem of his personal circumstances, linked it to England’s woeful international performances, and just puuuushed the envelope. This man should be running the country, never mind playing and trying to run Rugby League!
I await this intellectual colossus’ next brainstorm with eager anticipation.
I wonder if he would be willing to hand out the redundancy notices to the some of the employees, who would inevitably lose their jobs, at the four clubs to be kicked out of Super League?

| So, not for the first time, Peacock’s moaning about playing too many matches.
Here’s a suggestion Jamie, when it come to the Internationals, don’t put your hand up to play, have a couple of months off.
Give some of the younger lads a chance, they can’t achieve any less.
Then go and sit in the Sky commentary box with the other halfwits.
