| The potential for shocks is diminishing.
The gap between SL and the Championship is widening.
The irregularity of the fixtures.
You cannot put into place some structure for limits on the SL clubs; after all, why would a) fans of the bigger clubs turn out to see kids and b) why would lower league fans see a load of kids?
Fans from lower leagues want to see the top sides and their big name stars. Equally on the same balance fans want to see their side competitive and barring the odd occasional shock lower league clubs are traditionally going to struggle.
For me, the problem lies with the gulf in quality between the divisions and where the games are situated. I think it should be moved back to the beginning of the season.

But to be fair you'd get rid of one Aussie player and that would be it, yeah why not.

| Two massive games on the beeb. Not top quality SL action, but you could taste the hunger and fear of losing in both matches. Great stuff.
3k crowds at Huddersfield and Salford pretty poor though.

6k at Odsal with a 50/50 split in supporters and 7.5k at Leeds wernt much better. For the corresponding fixtures Bradford got over 15k and Leeds got just short of 15k.

The 2,150 figure for the St Helens game wasn't too hot either.
No one cares about the Challenge Cup.

| Leeds v Warrington may have been announced at 85k but there were no where near that in the ground.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New England Patriots - 84,254
Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos - 85,217
Something doesnt look right with those 2 pictures/attendances given.

| Considering the second one doesn't seem like it's near to kick off, then perhaps the timing of the said pictures needs to be compared too?

| Club Wembley tickets ruin the effect, if those tickets had been available for general sale they'd have sold out
