Quote: post "Winner of the league are Champions and gets the SL Trophy, Challenge Cup moved back to how it was, 12 team SL with each team playing home and away and no Magic Weekend, end of the league to coicide with the NRL to have a proper World Club Challenge between top 3 teams from each then proper Ashes Tours, NZ Tours and World Cups every 4 years.'"
Agreed in principal but the powers that be still want 2 major club finals thus the GF will stay as we know it.
The problem with a 12 team super league would be only 11 home games for each club, i believe most club chairman wanted the guarantee of 13 games for revenue reasons
The CC rounds need to be closer together (no pre season games)with a June final,i.e
4th rd 1st wk in April
5th rd 3rd wk in April
6th rd 1st wk in May
SF 3rd wk in May
Final in June.
Therefore break of 10-12 weeks to play offs
No Magic Weekend
Play Offs
The league leaders to be given credibility (cash incentive and direct access to the GF) 2nd place to 5th place straight knockout, downside the LL will have a 2 week break to the GF.
All challenge cup & play off games ..£10 for adults - £5 for juniors.
The world cup challenge at the end of the season between the top two clubs from either side
LL & GF winners if same the CC winners, the Aussies will choose their own.
Return of the tours if room can be accommodated in the schedule
