I would go for two divisions of ten. Think our sport definately needs P&R to survive. Franchising needs to go asap IMO. Two divisions of ten would create a more competitive top level and something for those outside that to strive for. I have a feeling this would make too much sense for those tools at Red Hall though!

To be honest i've been a bit torn on this subject. But the truth of the matter is that SL clubs need to play enough games to break even. P&R is in place, it's just done with a lot of control, for their lack of judgement you can't say that the RFL havn't got the best for the game in mind.

So the Top Div would be IMHO

Saints
Leeds
Wire
PIes
Hudds
Cats
Bradford
LOndon
Crucsaders
Hull

2nd Div

HullKR
Wakey
Cas
Fev
Halifax
Barrow
Salford
Widnes
Leigh
Batley

Championship

Whitehaven
Worky
Swinton
Scorpions
Oldham
Rochdale
York
Hunslet
Sheffield
Doncaster
LONDN SKOLARS
etc


TV monies to be split say half to div one then out of the remaining split 2 thirds to Div 2 and rest split between the rest of clubs.

they would put hull and hull kr together if they want to attract a crowd, take london out!!

If you look on the London forum Ste, a Quins fan had a go at Leigh for their crowds! Saying we get 3 figure crowds?

But they are sufferners Jonny a 3 figure crowd is a good one for them.

Why would clubs in SL willingly give up a chunk of their TV money to give to other clubs. It will never happen unless RFL convinced Sky to give a lot more money by selling such an idea. Similar to how they sold the playoff concept to Sky in early days of SL.
Personally I prefer a long term aim of making SL bigger rather than reducing it in short term as this is step backwards.

I think a bit of consolidation would be good for RL. It seems we change everything every year or two.

i think this is a good idea, we do not have enough elite players to support 14 teams in super league.

the sky money would need re structure to enable teams from top of championship to compete with the likes of wakey and cas.
i would think leigh would be placed in that division and would be good to see more competive games throughout.

hope they consider his suggestion

The Sky money is very little in comparison to other sports we are competing with. To dilute that money further would have a negative effect on the quality of the top division surely. The only way Smith's theory would be a benefit to what he is saying is by sharing the money with just them 10 clubs instead of 14, and probably being able to lift the salary cap - and getting to all having the same cap.
Great for the intensity of SL, but does make the gulf even wider unless RFL did sell SL2 to Sky to support 20 clubs so they all was FT etc. Its like those conversations we sometimes have tho about winning the lottery and what we would do with it.......

By dilute do you mean the club wouldn't be able to fly over the hill aussies over?

Sounds a step forward to me then
