Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.

Fine , so they play each other twice and one MM weekend giving a 15 game season , and they all get 2.2 million from SKY , as the games would all be closer and clubs would have more British players the attendances at them would increase and everything would be tickety boo
Better prep for the International games and probably bigger crowds at the Challenge cup matches as well
I'd go for it , its a winner
SUPER DUPER league |

As Derek from Spinal Tap once said, "That's a cozy ten minutes." How long will this season actually last? From March till June? Super League will need a jazz odyssey! |

as for the principal, eight is probably ambitious.

Any fans wanting to watch more RL could attend Championship matches , lets not forget that fans of SDL clubs are more followers of the ' sport ' than their own team , aren't they ?  |

10 team super league, with promotion and relagation! That means more SL standard players will have to play in championship and prob improve crowds and intrest.

I would just have 4:
Wigan
Leeds
Warrington
Hull
Saints have dropped right off - lost a lot of fans ergo, not super any more. Yes, 4 would be smashing.

unless you had ken davey as well, then probably not much,
try looking up hudds stats from about ten years ago,
its all down to money in the end.
