Intresting idea,but how do you realistically expexct wigan and leeds to average gates of 20,000 let alone bradford and saints when not one of these clubs has ever averaged anything like that in their entire historys.
To ask teams like leigh,salford and castleford to get crowds of 10,000 is an even bigger undertaking.
Football is given a precedence in schools up and down britian due to the fact its the most popular sport in the country,even then rugby union and cricket is in front of rl in terms of national popularity,we just have to accept in australia rugby leauge is a more popular sport amongs its own people and therefore has a bigger pool of talent to select from,imo our national team has gone backwards over the last 20 years if you compare the team of the late 80s to todays there's no doubt which was best with players like hanley,edwards,schofield,hulme brothers,gregory,dixon,platt,lydon,offiah etc players like goulding,cudjoe,atkins,o loughlin,fielden,briscoe and carvell wouldn't get on that lots tour to wash the kit never mind play

We need to get into schools across the UK. The venue for the magic weekend being the priority.

Kids round Cardiff are all taught rl for a few week/month prior to the event and given access to free/cheap tickets and the chance to play in between matches rather than having some mascot race crap. They'd love it.

There is a big problem with visibility of the game, although Sky have put a bit of money in the coffers, it is tucked away on a Friday and Saturday night on a subscription channel and often against other sports.

It is absolutely vital we have a FTA agreement for some games in the coming years, Sky's monopoly has to go imho.

On the playing from, unless the likes of Wakey, Cas, Salford et al start movement to a position where they are spending the full cap, producing quality juniors and have a comprehensive and quality off field set up, we are wasting our time with the cap.

It is undoubtedly holding the big clubs back, the smaller clubs should be chasing them (not just financially), and not going through the motions knowing they'll be alright!

14 clubs, 26 games, no fake extra 'Magic' game.
Maximum of 3 non-British nationals per squad in SL.
No non-British players or coaches outside SL.
No salary cap for players developed by the club they play for.

All achieved gradually over five years.

Would prefer one of the female Sky Sports News presenters, I dont care if they dont know much about the game all they have to do is sit there on the same chaise lounge as Suzi Perry

excluding exports is not necessarily the way forward either, it's a legal minefield for sure, but the last time we did that was in the 70's and we've never got close since.

Off the field is where the real improvements can be made. Look at us, Nobby is arguably the best English coach, but networks for the boys meant that his support staff was not the best. Maguire has come in and straight away changed the back room. A qualified and experienced conditioner in Bitcon etc, etc... and look at the turn around. Get the infrastructure (including the junior game!) right, the kids will come through thick and fast and be of the right quality.
