If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |
|
| Chopping and changing the system does rugby league no favours and whilst I think we should be innovative another change will make us look like we do not know what we are doing!
As mentioned take WBA in the Premier League. Come Feb/March this year they had hit the 40 point mark and literally had nothing else to play for, and the Premier League is the dogs whatsits according to many.
The super 8's as a Hull fan was boring in 2015 when we qualified but had zero chance of making the top 4. We decided to blood youngsters and the likes of Logan, Fash, Turget and Matongo all made their debuts. Two years later they are super league ready which probably played a part in this?
I personally still think that the points should be wiped and the top 4 start on 4,3,2,1 points dependant on league placings giving every team a real incentive.

| Quote: wrencat1873 "Most, if not all, other sports seem to do ok for media coverage without making themselves look stupid/innovative.
We should be portraying RL as the hardest physical sport, played by top athletes, going toe to toe to find the beast Club in the League, Country, World and not selling ourselves as a mickey mouse sport, run by a mickey mouse administration, that cant even take itself seriously.
Nothing wrong with being innovative if it leads somewhere and improves the sport.'"
Hardest physical lol. It's not in the top 5. Rugby league has been soft for years

please name the sports above RL and then make a reasoned argument on each to justify your selections.
I'll give you a helping hand, outright injury numbers doesn't automatcially make a sport 'more' physical.

"King Dildo", really? Interesting, as you normally moan about being on the end of "abuse" and insults on the FC board for what you describe as voicing your opinion. Does that make you a hypocrite?

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

| Fourteen teams. Top 8 go into a play-off scenario, with more reward for finishing higher. Bottom 6 go into middle 8's with top two of Championship. Bottom two out.

'There's only one code of rugby.': |
|
| I'd be going the other way - reduce the league by a team or two, replace the joke that is Magic Weekend with a nines tournament backed by a big sponsor. There just isn't enough quality in the game to support 14 clubs and the players are playing too many matches as it is. No wonder the Aussies are always able to go up a gear when they play us - they're even complaining they're playing too many games!

| Nines? What's the obsession?
No way would a big sponsor back it. Someone like bachelors maybe but until we get the game into the commonwealth/Olympics forget it.
Plus we have already had a tried/tested/failed Nines for a couple of years 2008/9 and that didn't last long
