Quote: Under the Old Clock "After the challenge cup final wet bore match and most of the season seeming to lack fluent rugby i feel after a number of years of advancement within the game as a whole the brakes have been firmed slammed on and now were going backwards entertainment wise. '"


How does fixing each game like a WWE wrestling match sound to you...? That would be more entertaining, but it wouldn't be sport.

Middle of the season the previous years Gf winners, finalists, CC winners and highest placed in the league 4 teams in total go to Australia or NZ and play in a champions league series, to stop a backlog of fixtures they could play a SL fixture against one of the teams that travelled, even double header it with the other 2 teams. Show the Aussies a sl game, likewise we get to see an Aussie fixture when they come over here. They could be over there for 6 weeks.

Agree with the views here love the play the Aussies idea but why would the Aussies want to do it ?

Their game has become even more superior to ours and I'm not sure our sides would give the a game ?
I'd personal like the rfl to at least sort the problems out on the pitch with speed , rubbish Rhino Ball and stuff they can reasonably effort as a starter !!

I'm sure next year our club will be losing a good few K from the season ticket sales and this attitude of ohh Sky can do what they want should be challenged , if we lose fans because of it then the clubs should show back bone . Andy G & Simon Moran need to tell them straight to do one or be really awkward

Ban skin tight jerseys, so at least there is something to get hold of in the tackle, Bradford started this,and it was obviously thought some advantage could be gained by this

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?

Quote: morleys_deckchair "1. Remove the silly monikers that have been added. None of this Wolves, Warriors, Rhinos rubbish.
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?

[quote="Eddie Hemmings said not ":1h9um51j] "Remember last time they were here, the Huddersfield Giants, they lost to a Luke Walsh drop goal. He's only scored four drop goals in his St Helens career has Luke Walsh and each and every one of them have been scored by Luke Walsh"[/quote:1h9um51j]:



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.
