Quote: Wheels "It'll never catch on!

I completely understand that licensing is meant to bring clubs up to the 'elite' level, and while everybody insists on having 14 teams in SL I will support franchising, as it's the only way clubs will get a decent go at SL. The problem is IMO the gap will always remain the same (huge)... Surely a simple league restructure would be better?'"


To tell the truth I've given over bothering about it anymore, I couldn't care less what happens to SL

As long as Leigh remain in business, and I feel like watching, I'll go, thats about it really, everything else I put on here is just to annoy people icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: wrencat1873 "Dont bring on field performance into the arguement, modern RL is about box ticking, not playing "the greatest game".
Anyway, how do you propose the cull ? would it be based on the SL type criteria ie. ground, attendances, community work, finance, whether the RFL "owns" your ground, development club status or league position ?'"

Quote: j.c "There'll be no change in numbers before the end of this licensed period,so if they were to go to two 10 team leagues in 2015 then york would need to finish in the top six,imo thats possible don't you think?'"


With Fev, Fax, Leigh, Sheffield & Batley.... Possibly.

This is just a smokescreen for the "big clubs" to get a bigger slice of the pie ala Champions League in .

Peacock and Co. urge for fewer clubs because they play to many games, when in reality what they want is to reduce the SL games so they can have the top clubs in the UK play the top clubs in the NRL. What you will end up with is the top teams playing the same number of games as they currently do but getting a bigger share of the cash as they will be in the end of season money spinner unlike the remaining teams.What will happen is the smaller struggling clubs will get reduced income and as such some will go to the wall, the bigger clubs will benifit in the short term with more cash but the viability for Sky will diminish as the number of solvent clubs shrinks and teams start playing each other 4 times a year thus the cash cow dies. For me the whole package wants revamping to add interest, the SL should start in March in line with the NRL and the Grand Finals should be in sync, internationally the World Cup should be every 4 years and the Four Nations Every 4 years, inbetween the Four Nations and World Cup we should have an extended World Club Challenge Tournanent. This would give a grandstand finish to every season in late October early November with the world club championship every other year giving a larger talent pool the chance to play at international intensity. This in turn will benifit the international game as we get more competitive games between the hemispheres and increase the exposure, as there is no other tournaments on the go at this time of the year and Sky would hype it up no end, this is a win win for me as clubs would have an international competition to aspire to and the England/Great Britain Selectors would have more chance to see players at the elite level outside of test matches.

Who wants to watch the same 10 teams all the time? What an absolute snoozefest that would be.

It wouldn't be, there would be at least one different team every season...
