The 888 system is totally bonkers. As it is, we have regular season fixtures with half empty grounds, does it really seem likely that Wigan vs Batley is going to draw enough fans or television money to make the reorganisation of the league financially viable? There's not really enough money in the sport to support the 14 SL teams as it is, and the low turn out at televised games, particularly the first round of play offs or the CC quarters, should scream to the RFL that fans actually want fewer games with higher quality. Whatever gets said on here, it's the money fans bring in that really speaks to the desire for change and given how poor the attendances are for the play off system as it is, fans clearly aren't interested in a more convoluted system.

Can't we just have a 12 team SL, with the top team winning a more meaningful trophy, a top 4 or 5 play off at the end of it and 1 or 2 up/down promotion relegation? I don't see other successful sports with a messy structure to their sport like we're proposing.

Andy Gatcliffe made Warrington's position clear back in early August: www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... ney__RFL_/ I'm guessing since then the RFL haven't provided any answers to the questions he posed. Certainly the review document they issued didn't. They have also failed to deliver a taker of the naming rights to the World Cup despite it receiving exposure on free to view tv channel - the RFL is not fit for purpose.

Appreciate that Huddersfield are not currently profitable, but Davy is reportedly well off and has invested significantly into them.

Significantly is an understatement isn't it?.With a "being generous' 5k home supporters thers no way could they be anything other than bottom dwellers without his money

I trust the people who own these clubs to make better commercial decisions than Brian Barwick.

To be fair to the RLWC2013 team (whilst technically part of the RFL and reporting to Nigel Wood), they are a seperate team who have done a great job and never intended getting a headline sponsor. They told us this 18 months ago. They feel the World Cup is a big brand in its own right and works better through attracting a range of sponsors - which to be fair is exactly what they have done.
