it is an odd game, in a 15 team league it wouldnt be
that's the same as saying a 15 team league wont work because there are only 14 teams in it now, if you change the structure of the league you change the fixture structure, not difficult

Not as such 'wrong', he just didn't agree with what you want to hear- I think you need to learn that everyone has an opinion, not just you.
A different structure doesn't really make us a "ridicluous" does it? - take the most viewed domestic club sport in the world (American Football)...teams from the same division don't even play the same opposition each year as other teams in their own league- how fair is that? Are they seen as 'ridiculous'? - NO! its done so for entertainment, and as an handicap to give each team a fair crack at glory (likewise with the supposed salary cap in SuperLeague).....the viewing figures dont lie.
(O/T) Being Cas fan I've watched my club in our dated stadium (which I still feel creates one of the best atmospheres in SuperLeague) knowing that no matter (within reason) what happens on the field our Superleague future is on the line this year due to the surroundings of the field- is it fair to relegate established clubs who are not out of their depth in terms of on field performance in order to expand???- I presume you're thinking no (but does the RFL care?) so i'll continue:-
So why not have the WCC at the end of MM to generate a better spectacle of a weekend? and have it classing as a league match for the European team (as a side note)? - afterall the NRL champions wont be a pushover. Its no different to Castleford being drawn in last years Magic weekend against Catalans compared to Wakefield being drawn against Leeds (then Champions) really is it? It can then be billed as the magic weekend with the world title!
Just an idea...seeing as this is a forum- don't want any formulas Starbug saying how the points for, and points against wont calculate correctly when it comes to points difference.

| Starbug is actually right here, for once. Although his argument is easily solved by hosting an additional 'on the road' weekend, as has been suggested in place of Magic.

That is a horrible, horrible idea. Your post was going quite well up until that point too.

Yes he was wrong , just as you were and still are , an uneven number of teams and an eneven number of matches doesn't work
Dont pretend you meant a complete changing of the playing structure because you havent the balls to admit you were wrong over some simple mathematics

Cheeky b,stard I've been right at least 2 or 3 times before including once on this very same subject
' an additional on the road weekend ' instead of MM ? , now you are worrying me , can you explain the difference ?

Yes it is isn't it
If we were to completely change our structures then any combination probably can be accommodated , but our Widnes friend was wrong , and all those that agreed with him , in fact others , even Smokey got it wrong a few weeks ago on a similar thread , until it was pointed out to them

Yes you are right on this one (god help me for agreeing with Starbug but this isn't opinion it's straight maths thank God) but the other two times were when asked your own name so they don't count
