| Quote: Pablo-13 "Most RL people have at least a couple of ideas of how to improve the sport and its health. The ideas might not always be worth their own thread so I started this one.
Post ideas for the business side of things, marketing, rules, junior rugby etc. If you like, even include ones you aren't particularly convinced on - it might give someone else an idea.
To try to prevent the thread being de-railed, if you have a comment about someone's idea try think of something new to add as well.
A couple of ideas to get started...
-----
Schools growth
The Champion Schools comp has grow in numbers, schools and age groups (the comp didn't have all five secondary school age groups for both sexes at first). I'd like to see it grow into primary schools so that kids are exposed to RL when they are at the ages they begin to choose their sports. There are also more primary schools than secondary schools so there is a potential for huge increases in participation in time. It would be hard to do because of limits on the RFL's resources. Depending on how enthusiastic some primary schools are, town/district competitions only would be fine; there isn't necessarily a need to organise national and regional finals.
Junior rugby skills
[iI originally posted this in response to a Phil Clarke articles
At junior level, ages 5-11 perhaps, the RFL could promote a "swimming badge"-style scheme to encourage a culture of skills development. A rugby league curriculum almost. Players gaining a skill would be presented with a certificate and a badge to sew onto their personal training bibs. There could be XIII skill areas and several things to learn in each. Examples might be Support Play or Passing. During training sessions coaches would work with players on e.g. passing left and right and maybe later how to beat opponents with it. Once the players have learnt something in training they would then complete the skill and get the badge by applying it in a game successfully. Building a set of skills, as well as winning matches, would become the aim of the children. At these young ages each child developing their own skills and being rewarded for it would be especially great for any that are not the largest or fastest. The programme hopefully would support the many good coaches out there in their attempts to teach the sport and perhaps negate any poor junior coaching by those who are more interested in seeing their star (usually larger) players get the ball so they can win games. I'm not sure exactly what the situation is now in junior clubs at ages 5-11 (I played from 10 years old in a development area.) The scheme might have to work work around the various mod, tag etc. variants played at young ages. Some clubs might already work from their own 'rugby league curriculum' but I'm sure in many areas, especially new ones, they don't. Getting badges might help young player commitment and retention too.
Websites
UK rugby league clubs need to be efficient with money and rugby league fans often moan about the quality of club websites. The RFL member clubs should create a rugby league network of websites. They could split the costs of website development and perhaps work together on other things...unified ticketing system maybe?
Fantasy RL
I know that there is a RLfans (I think) version but I reckon the RFL are missing a trick by not having an official fantasy RL competition on their website like e.g. the rlPremier Leaguerl does. The RFL could make use of all the stats Opta collect for them.'"
Says it all... 
Bring back the non internet days,when only certain voices where respected....  |

| Quote: Saddened! "
What they should do is separate the club academies into regional RL academies based at a leading sports college/uni which produce the players. From there they should have a televised draft pick, enabling the lowest placed side the chance to get the best youngsters each year, thus levelling things out. That or ban the top 4 from applying such salary cap reductions for a certain time period.'"
Like they do in the NFL. That would work but would teams be willing be to pay good money to train and bring players on to lose them to another team? The RFL would have to be prepared to fund these colleges / academies. I like the idea though. |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "The "born in" bit would fall on its backside.
If a person has the right to an EU passport through ancestry then where they are born is irrelevant, they have the same rights as an EU born person to be able to work within the EU.
Effectively it would be no different to the old system prior to the introduction of the federation trained rule, with teams scouring NRL reserve grades looking for players with EU grandparents to get around the quota.'"
Ok I wasnt fully sure of how the law works on these kind of things.
Could the RFL can still say that only 3 are allowed to be included in the weekly squad though? They're not restricting them working as they will still be getting paid. Again im not sure how it works so apologies if it sounds daft. |

Not that I think it would cost much more having it run around the clock, but I think that might be overdoing it a bit.
Maybe from 4pm to 11pm during the week and 9am till midnight at weekends. |

Just a thought. We'd have to be careful that Sky don't think we are treading on their toes otherwise lips goodbye to the funding unless we give free adverts to Sky they might put their foot down |

As I said, that is something that would have to be included in contract negotiations. |

Free adverts for RL related programming on Sky and BBC. Should compliment their programming then. |
