Top 8 out of 14 teams for play offs don't help. It was ok how it was before with top 6.
As for W1gan - it was a walk in the park in most peoples eyes it appears, and they was right.
Together with ST holders not willing to pay, which is the same in football especially if its a game that is expected to win too.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

And sky are supposed to be the saviours of our game. I really do worry for the sport.
We now in theory should have a new generation of supporter about to start purchasing adult season tickets after 16 years of having a junior ticket. I'd love to know the conversion rate!! |

Most clubs (and I hope we'd be one of them?) tends to have a 16-18 year old season ticket to bridge the gap a bit between kid and full paying adult. Even kids of 16-18 who aren't in full time education are on pitiful wages. |

There is also a gap in 25-35 year olds who are fortunate enough to travel the country getting sssssssssed up eating lots of burgers watching football and rugby 24/7.
I would put their season ticket up 300% as I have not a clue why I pay my taxes for !!
Unfortunately, I am now too old for that !! |

RL is becoming like the carling cup in wendyball, where PL clubs are selling tickets for 10 quid, 5 for kids, and getting pathetic crowds, even the top clubs.
Why is it a problem to have a northern based comp? The ARL do Ok and have tried expansion that has not really worked, except new clubs in the aussie heartlands (Auckland and Melbounrne excepted).
We need a fix for these problems, and soon......

The problem remains with the concept of the playoffs. When we had a single league where we didn't play each other twice a season, it made sense.
Now no one cares too much between the end of the regular season and the Grand Final.
Can't say I blame them either TBH.
