Another numpty, look at the current standings and we are 6th in the Championship, therefore I've put Leigh in the lower Super League on currect standings.

Shall I change my post and put them top of the Super League?

Mooka don't get so defensive

I said I like the idea of 15 with a week off, I am with you on that.

The maths don't work out.

15 teams - 28 games

15 doesn't go into 28.

15 rounds everyone gets a "week off"

Then 13 rounds to go - 15 teams can't all have a week off (only 13)

Basically 1 team will not play every round

Hope you get what I mean

If you increase SL to 14 teams then IMO you just had more mediocrity to what has been a mediocre competition for a few seasons. What has been a real success has been the very competitive top half of the championship. I would go with the SL and SL2 idea with 10 teams in each. The immediate thought is that the SL chairmen/owners will be grumbling that there will not be enough games to generate the income they want, but they have been saying themselves that they want to improve the playing standards. Having the top ten teams would ensure a difficult game every week and by definition improve quality.
The second 10 will be made up of the 2 lowest finishing super league teams and the top 8 from the championship. The teams involved will be those who have real ambition to be in SL and they should all receive equal funding.
I would have the Magic weekend as a challenge cup weekend. The reduction in the number of games will provide time for international games or "War of the Roses" fixtures.
The prospect of high quality games in SL2 would provide an opportunity for TV/live streaming deals in its own right. It would also provide for a 2 up 2 down promotion without significantly harming the quality of the competition.

If theres 15 teams, then there is 14 teams that you play, 2 x 14 = 28 games.

If you have a bye, you get 2 weeks off not 1 like you previously said.

If you play a team on the 1st of August, then have bye on the 7th, your next game is on the 14th, which is 14 days off, which is 2 weeks.

Give your head a shake.

Who are what is going to cover another two SL teams funding wise? Disbanding L1 will gain a £1m but that still leaves £2.5m short. Where's that coming from, Championship?

If you are the team without a fixture in the first week, you don't get any recuperation, you just start a week later than everyone else.

You maths is faulty anyway, if you play on the 1st and miss a week, your next game is on the 15th.

What ever system they introduce then so be it, we have to adapt, I don't think for 1 minute that there will be a 15 team S.L.

I was merely explaining to mooka that it would be impossible to give every team (2) weeks rest in a season with 28 games.

The powers that be will do what they do and we as fans will adapt.

Yorkshire cup / Lancashire cup, BBC floodlit trophy, Regal / JPS trophy, Lancashire v Yorkshire all gone.

Countless rule changes, licensing/ franchises, French clubs and now a North American club.

But yet we are still here week in week out.

Probably missed something

You missed nothing, its just some think these ventures of SL with 14 in it will run on Scotch mist. CH along with L1 have 3 years to either go with whats being offered or go alone. Their choice. I don't take into account someones thoughts written in the RL weekly rag as gospel.

Others should do the same, the debate should be about 14 in SL, yet the debate turns into what format should be run in SL using 14 teams which the sport can't cater for without funding from the lower tiers being taken back.

Thats the point, not whether we should have a bye. No club will survive without funding, but if your happy to go with 14 in SL for 3 years, there won't be many clubs or fans adapting to that scenario below SL.

Wow don't believe this!

In our league there are 12 so minus summer bash and super 8's, we play 22 matches.

You don't play yourself

15 teams, they will play 14 at home and 14 away - 28 games

Not 30

(See my working out) if you can show I am wrong, I will willingly bow down to your knowledge.

Anyway it ain't going to happen so it's not worth the hassle
