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.

Dont make assumptions , any club can achieve anything if they really really want to

Its no good talking sense, nobody will listen

Its all about making the right decisions this season and next,get it wrong and any of us could be consigned to the community league for good

Why would it be for good?

That might be leyth speak . what i mean is forever

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

We played Salford 7 times in 2003 , and didn't win any of them

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

Whoopee, still 4 or 5 times a year (including cup and play offs)
Any you think this will excite the fans and attract new ones

What have I told you about swearing on here ?

I think a lot of people are against it as they see the relegation/removal to a second tier as the death of a club, because that is what it pretty much means at the moment - the idea behind a restructure is to make it a better competition and ensure even stepping stones from bottom to top - new teams are essential and they must start at the bottom and build up, that is easier when there isn't a massive gap between each tier

people speak out against repeat fixtures but the figures are clear, game 3 between 2 quality sides draws more than game 1 or 2 between a good side and a poor side - the lowest crowds of the year are cup ties between sides that will only play each other once but where there is a massive gap in quality, the highest crowds are the finals between sides that may have played each other many many times - it is the quality of the product in the stadium that draws in fans, not the rarity of the fixture - the rational is higher quality fixtures improve gates and it will improve the players for a crack at the Aussies

I see .

My opinion is,our fan bases would be completely decimated and then your just a stepping stone for new clubs
