Quote: afootingmiracle21-12 "For me...everyone is looking at this too one dimensionally! Who said you MUST have LOOP fixtures?!!

Yes, if we fudge it with 3x games against the other 9 teams in your tier then it will become a bore fest, but they should do it exactly how I proposed it about ten years ago!

Two divisions of ten, but rather than make them two separate divisions, your fixtures would be,
- Home and Away vs all clubs in your tier (1icon_cool.gif,
- PLUS 1 game against clubs in the 2nd tier (10 -5 home / 5 away -odds and evens)
- Total of 28 fixtures


SL1

Catalan
St Helens
Warrington
Wigan
Leeds
HKR
Hull FC
Castleford
Toulouse
London

SL2
Huddersfield
Wakefield
Salford
Leigh
Bradford
Featherstone
York
Halifax
York
Widnes

So you'd have 28 fixtures but limit the number of possible blow out games between SL1 and SL2 sides. Also - there would be a requirement for SL1 teams to have at least 3 or 5 U22 players in games vs SL2 opposition - to act as a balancer but also to ensure clubs were developing their own talent.

I think itd work exceptionally well and capture the imagination - all clubs competing against each other at the right level, and SL1 for the glamour fixtures to drive the game forward.

Imagine - 1 game Featherstone v Castleford each season or Leigh v Wigan, York v Leeds. Bradford v Leeds etc. The games between the two tiers actualy start to become mouthwatering as there is only one of them per season.

You can also add to this structure - ie/ if Sheffield / Newcastle etc wish to be a part you can start to move to two 11s/ two 12s etc if you can grow revenues into the game!! Works perfectly.'"
No! Loop fixtures are not the way to go but neither are Mickey Mouse structures that just generate confusion.
The game and its fans crave stability and clarity and all we're getting from leadership are obfuscation and every other person's crackpot structure that takes 5,000 words to explain.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE GAME IS NOT THE ISSUE. LEAVE IT ALONE.

The "Leadership" have strongly indicated two times 10.

The fans obviously will toy with all sorts of things. The thing I'm toying with is will SL be an 18 game league with Magic game added??

This heavy cut in games offered to SKY will match their heavy cut in the SKY deal, but I think it's absolutely clear Loop fixtures will be essential.

What is the economic argument against Warrington.v.Wigan a third time against Salford.v.Feathestone (no offence here)

With apparently no agreement likely on the structure I now hear they will "leave it alone" and leave League One to take most of the hit.......

Sad to see this clown still trolling openly on here whilst he builds up his "Ismir Zaferi" character on Total RL.

His mode of operating has been to run two trolls (see Slient H and Steph Curry) on the same site, so if one gets a ban the other can carry on which didn't work last time but is working now.

He can currently troll both sites, so he's probably very pleased indeed at that................ One over on the Mods......

Quote: Willzay "Whose yoy?'"


You won't get near a hit with that mate. His TRL thread is entitled "The amazing success of expansion" icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

It argues every expansion club in modern times is either a great success or great legacy. The shockwaves of kent Invicta and Southend invicta still apparently resonate in the south east of the country. whilst Wolfpacks "return" is a major triumph.

The link I've provided shows rimmer has no clue to the future of the game as is asking everyone for their opinion

My opinion he should stand down and let some one else have go as I have no confidence in him at all

soz...my misread your intent.
I agree about Rimmer, but he's not alone in the dock. As everyone knows, it is the "money" that runs professional sport, so we have SKY followed by a handful of SL owners who dictate the way the game is run, at least in the top 2 or 3 tiers.
The Middle 8's was designed to allow aspirant owners, currently not at the top table, to have a crack whilst also lighting a fire under those owners who were perhaps "happy" with mid table.
Wakefield, Bradford, Salford, HKR, Leigh, Catalans, London, Toronto all took part in the "game of death", but such jeopardy wasn't for everyone, so we returned to one up one down inside 4 seaons.....franchising was given slightly longer and dare i say it only covid has stopped the deckchairs being moved on the titanic again this year.

The sport needs an independent leader.....one that doesn't "heel" to the SL owners, but has "THE GAME" at the forefront of all decisions...sadly it won't happen in my lifetime.
