I would go with a 15 team Super league, with teams having a bye to help recouperation:

Super League - 28 games, then top 4 playoff

1 St Helens
2 Wigan Warriors
3 Warrington Wolves
4 Castleford Tigers
5 Hull FC
6 Wakefield Trinity
7 Catalans Dragons
8 Leeds Rhinos
9 Huddersfield Giants
10 Salford Red Devils
11 Hull KR
12 Widnes Vikings
13 Toronto Wolfpack
14 Toulouse
15 Featherstone Rovers

Championship - 28 games, 2 up 2 down

1 Halifax
2 London Broncos
3 Leigh Centurions
4 Batley Bulldogs
5 Barrow Raiders
6 Sheffield Eagles
7 Dewsbury Rams
8 Swinton Lions
9 Rochdale Hornets
10 Bradford Bulls
11 York City Knights
12 Hunslet
13 Oldham
14 Workington Town
15 Doncaster

League 1 - 27 games (play eachother 3 times), top 2 promoted

1 Whitehaven
2 Keighley Cougars
3 Newcastle Thunder
4 North Wales Crusaders
5 London Skolars
6 Coventry Bears
7 Hemel Stags
8 West Wales Raiders
=#FF00009 New York???
10 Montreal???

Whatever happens, they can't have one rule for Super league and one for another. I would go with 2 up 2 down in all divisions.

Is this 14 team SL idea from the end of this 2018 campaign ?

Yes, as the playoffs do'nt start till August, so would probably havecto be announced shortly.

Great if you have your recuperation in week one.

Good idea just 1 problem:

29 games (including Magic Weekend)

14 teams get 2 weeks off
1 team gets 1 week off

But the basics are good

So as a Leigh fan you would select Widnes & Salford to be in the SL 15 over Leigh ?

Why ?

If this true it’s a way of getting Toronto and Toulouse in there that’s what the rfl have wanted all along its slowly dying a death the game

It fulfills their 5 year plan.

Toronto and Toulouse are the top two Championship clubs on merit, it’s nothing to do with the RFL.

The change of league structure is Saint Helens led, supported by most other Super League clubs, again nothing to do with the RFL anymore.

Not a chance. The SL clubs want more of the TV money, this would give them all a fair chunk less (and they are contractually obliged to accept the total they currently get until 2020). Many would be going pop!
