I will just keep reminding people that RL exists beyond SL and the championships.
Where do the players come from?
What does it cost to run an amateur club with many teams?
What help do they get from professional clubs?
What FINANCIAL help do they give to the clubs who develop players?
Unless and until the WHOLE game is restructured in this country, these discussions will carry on and the game nearer death as a professional sport

Fair enough, but without the top tier, RL becomes Curling....

There has to be a top tier as there is in any sport. It is the structure that is in place that creates success. Rugby League was founded because of injustice and elitism by the RFU.
Is this really what is desired by today's game? The core of the game was always as long as you can play you are welcome there is no prejudice here.
Sadly all I see, hear and read in this country shows that core of the game has been forgotten by so many and even sadder is that people don't care and even worse do not know what RL has been through to survive.
It is strange that the game keeps on inflicting wounds to itself. I just hope they never cut a vital artery but they are making a good attempt.

SO do I. But only just.

I mean we must have a London club in Super League. At least he got Toulouse right.

Licensing must be retained. No P & R.

So it should beWigan
St. Helens
Warrington
Salford

Leeds
Bradford
Huddersfield
Hull FC
Hull KR

London

Catalans
Toulouse[/i

I disagree.

You shouldn't. This is the only team roster that will take Super League forward into the 21st century.

Amateur clubs gets subs from its players for its finances, same as every sport, why should the pro clubs pay amateur clubs? They aren't even ran by the same governing body

That said I agree a restructuring from grassroots is needed ...

Pillock. Do you realise how long it took me to type that on a phone unsuitable for podgy fingers?

Not enough detail.

Don't come to me about details. I'm not the details guy. I'm the ideas guy.

I like you.

Your idea lacks detail.
