| So much of this makes sense and as similar posts can be found elsewhere, its clearly a reflection of what the fans want. The problem is how do we get the
message to the people who run the game?

2. Reinstate the shoulder charge as a matter of urgency.
3. League winners to be 'Champions'.
4. Separate end of season play off tournament called 'the sky sports cup'. This can have the biggest windfall for winning it, that way sky still get a hugely competitive competition with lots of fireworks.
5. Abolish the salary cap
6. promotion and relegation to come back, 1 up, 1 down.
7. Great Britian team to be brought back.
8. BRING BACK THE BIFF.
That should do it.'"
in total agreement

| I believe we should bring back the Great Britain team to give us dome true identity like the British Lions.
The playoff system sucks but whilst SL is ran as a business it's all about making money and squeezing every pound possible of of the paying folk.

They don't care. SKY Sports run the game, they are in the business of selling a TV product not a live spectacle and their viewing figures and revenue are rising year on year so why should they consider our views?

| 12 teams, 6 team playoff, promotion/relegation, reinstate the shoulder charge as a legitimate 'hit'.
The 12 team league splits after 22 games into 3 groups of 4. Top group playing for top two places and a bye into the playoff semi-finals. Middle group playing for the last two (away) playoff spots. Bottom group playing to avoid 'the spoon'.
A team can only be promoted if they finish top/win their GF and meet qualifying financial criteria. Once promoted a team will be given a two year immunity from relegation. If Widnes (or any other team) finish next to bottom and the bottom team is immune then tough, they go down (precedent has been set for this!)
Shoulder charge to be reinstated with the proviso that contact with the head will result in a substantial ban - from 6 games for accidental/careless up to 12 games or more for deliberate/malicious.

| I am absolutely against abolishing the salary cap. I think that is a ridiculous idea

May be an email to Brian Barwick would do the trick.
As for the shoulder charge & other seemingly rough & sometimes dirty play ,we could kit the players out in padding & crash helmets ,call it American football (this would also eliminate forward passes at a stroke ) & remove offences for rough & dirty play from the rule book thus restoring extreme biff to RL.
