As noted on the thread this has nothing to do with the fact we have won nothing, and more to do with the pointlessness of the regular season. In an ideal situation i would do is this:

Divide the teams into Super League and Championship, with SKY showing 2 games from SL and one from C per week

Super League

Wigan
Leeds
Warrington
St Helens
Hull
Catalan Dragons
Huddersfield
London
Bradford
Hull KR

Championship

Salford
Cas
Widnes
Featherstone
Leigh
Halifax
Sheffield
Batley
Keighley
Dewsbury

Schedule: Teams play each other 3 times with home/away fixtures alternated each year.
Play Offs: 1=Through to the grand final 2v3=Semi Final, same for the championship
Promotion for Championship GF winner Relegation for bottom team.

To spice things up you could have a play off between the 9th place team in SL v the runner up in C for a SL place.

I feel this would completley revitalise the challenge cup because many team wouldnt have a realistic chance of winning the SL. For too long the poor team have dragged SL down, this system would force them to change.

Feel free to tear it to shreds!!

Do you not think that it makes to much sense?

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

I still think the club would gain support if they offered cup ans play off games at 10 quid per adult and 5 quid per concession

Salford given a winding up petition: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/ It's about time we moved to a 10 team competition and quick.
