| I was thinking teams like Leigh, Fev n Halifax need to be in Super League, why don't they have 16 teams with a two tier Super League
Teir 1
Saints
Wigan
Warrington
Leeds
Bradford
Huddersfeild
Catalan
Hull FC
Tier 2
London
Hull KR
Leigh / Halifax / Feverstone
Castleford
Wakefeild
London
Widnes
Salford
- Could be 28 games per season, or 21 games, then have promotion and relegation with the two Super Leagues
- More full time teams means GB have a bigger talent pool to choose from
- Could expand it to 10 teams in each comp
- 21 game season would mean more time for internationals / battle of the roses
- Super League Championship clubs like Leigh get there deserved status and a chance at the big League
- Every bodies happy?
What does everyone think?

| That's easy to answer.. The greedy SL Clubs don't want to share the SKY money across the board that's why they will fight tooth n nail against a return to prom and relegation and the thought of two SL League would be a none starter to the greedy

Incorrect.
Sky don't want two divisions otherwise there would already be two divisions. If we return to P/R as it stands it would be even more farcical than the last time you were in SL.

| How would it be farcial, there would be a full time club getting promoted and a full time team getting relgated, no need to panic buy and no need to assemble a brand new squad of players; hence making it less farticle and more competative.....

| Did that contribute to the thread in anyway whatsoever? No, SL highlights that there isn't yet the player pathways established so why would we load another ten clubs with the same problem

Over 50 years of pain,pleasure,frustration,joy,heartache and ecstasy that supporting Leigh has given me but I would not swop it.: |

| You Dico are a typcal SL fan who really does not see the big picture,without clubs like Leigh,Fax,Fev etc the pathway you mention will not have a start point as a massive amount of SL players come from these areas,No local team and interest dies off as it is doing now to a great extent.
All fans without a rich benefactor like Warrington have is a chance to sit on the top table and as it is at present this is a very very slim chance.
To say Leighs season in SL was farcical is totaly disrespectful and not fair,Widnes have had loads more time than Leigh to prepare and look at them,they only beat Wigan because they sent a team full of reserves.Just watch all the teams threatened with relegation start promising the earth and buying in players to try and survive the Franchise allocation,this to me is whats farcial.

| On your first point I think you'll find that teams like Miners and Easts would continue regardless of whether the centurions were there or not. Plenty of development areas are producing players without the need of a semi pro club. The amateur game produces far, far more players than Leigh or whoever and in all honesty you just pinch them from amateur clubs like we do

| SL clubs want teams like Leigh etc to stay were they are so we can develop their players for them........players who Leigh have helped develop - Hargreaves,Prescott,Evans,Blythe,McCarthy,Mitchell,Spencer......... the list goes on.
They don't want a drop in SKY money (IMO the money should be split equally between all 3 divisions) even though they get more through sponsorship and marketing. Its the old saying - the rich get richer and sod the rest.

But kill the clubs in the heartland and it must have a massive detrimental effect on the game,for a start off where do you loan out your young up and coming players to get experiance of a higher level than reserve rugby,everyone who came to Leigh has improved immensly.
The current SL makeup is not working for the general good of the game with only the clubs in SL backing it but RL is not just SL, Sky money after all only keeps players wages at a competitive level but really does not improve RL as a whole.Viewing figures are down,challenge cup attendances way down and we are farther away from beating Australia than ever.
Take off you blinkers mate the game is not getting better at any level and something needs to be done sooner than later.
