and who cares what the FA say? Wigan have a longterm lease so if the FA made some rule as you say wigan football club would either have to build themselves or Wigan RL a new stadium. I imagine the same is true at Hull and Huddersfield'"
or conversely why do you? give me the willows over JJB every day of the week, i accept that belle vue without a roof is not ideal for the elements and atmosphere, but as an away fan at salford i am more than happy |

Taking up all 8 Q/F places. So the winners of the round before are dumped out of the competition alongside the teams they beat? Radical, I'll give it that.

Also:
- fans were bored with watching the derby games 3 times nevermind playing every club in the league 3 times
- how does the top 4 playoff work so that the team finishing first gets a major advantage
- putting the overseas quota down to 3 straight away will not improve standards
- where will the money come from to make up for no Edinburgh weekend
- and there are quite a few clubs who cant spend the full cap at the moment, nevermind the full cap plus inflation every year. |

What a load of tosh.
14 teams will be fine, ones that aren't better run can get out.
Whoever can't afford to run can be replaced by Widnes, they'll work, whoever after that Barrow/Toulouse.
If you're losing money then trim your outgoings, I fail to see how this is difficult.

No one seems to be willing to give the game time.
There are no quick fixes, retreating to the heartlands won't bring new fans or more money. Neither will ruthless expansion which leaves out clubs with great potential.
The RFL needs to bring the game consistency at all levels. Get the fixture lists sorted for lower leagues. Give teams time to get financially viable and grow. No point in wasting what's been done with SL.
Maybe everyone should stop complaining and just enjoy the product on show. Of course that's not gointo happen is it.

Get LEIGH outta wigan: |
|

wonder what a 12 team SL might look like in 2015.
paris
cats
toulouse
wrexham
scorpions
quinns
wigan
saint
wire
bulls
hull
leeds
it could be very interesting for 3 of the northern clubs if the RFL have a look at glasgow,edinburgh & dublin

| does not look that super does it ?
hope you are right, bulls, saints and leeds can be replaced by dublin edinburgh and glasgow due to their old style stadia, then we can all wave good riddance to SL and get on with playing RL  |

Celtic will be merged with Widnes once the league reverts to 12 clubs. Heard from a reliable source.

If that's how SL looks in 2012 then they will be the only professional clubs in existance and on very much of a slippery slope themselves. I would give professional RL about 2 years if that was the make up. |

| Quote: captaincaveman "what is the big deal about stadia, who really wants them? the paying supporters? i remember being at central park when the survey was being done about moving to robin park and the vast majority as i recall were dead against it and were very happy where they were.
moving in with a premiership football team has pros and cons, the pros is that the facilities are superb, however the cons are that you become at the mercy of the football association. if they were to announce tomorrow that premiership teams can not groundshare where would that leave the RL clubs?
thankfully the governing body in football are not the zealots we have in RL'"
