I'd like to see the whole game played in sync, after all we now market the game as a summer sport. Plus I'd imagine it'll be a lot easier to get new people playing the game in the sunshine and warmth as opposed to the rain and cold.

I really think a move such as this would really benefit the sport greatly, of course they'd be a few problems along the way but in the end it'd be worth it.

Better late than never. The number of amateur games lost this season after the winter we've had has been ridiculous

I think if they're serious about summer rugby they should ditch early Feb starts to the season. The season needs to be shorter anyway given the demands on the top players.

Yeah, with luck we'll eventually get to a situation where we actually only play one game per season.

Obviously, the clubs would need to stay afloat, but new ticket prices of about £200 each should resolve that.

Might seem a bit harsh on the fans, but at least the demands on the top players will be significantly reduced.

From a personal point of view I welcome this and hope it goes through even if it means I will probably end up unable to play, due to family commitments in the summer.

Everything about our game is best coached, played and watched in the dryer conditions, we would also be able to hopefully attract more union converts to at least give the game a go.

Great move and its daft that it has taken so long to come into line.

In which case, feel free to steer clear.

Not as daft as giving those morons £29m.

Summer rugby for the junior game would be incredible - a lot of football teams don't play during the summer giving youngsters a lot more oppurtunity to play RL.

Completely agree, they need to cut short the season by a few weeks at least. Its a joke that the NRL starts the same weekend as we play round 5...

They need to fix the stupid CC fixtures aswell. There's an 8ish week break between 2 rounds which is completely unnecessary.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Good stuff. Now we just need to play under the same rules as those down under, that would be great.

Super League season's always began in February. What has made the season seem so much longer is that we moved the cup to later in the season. Mentally that has made the season seem longer when it actually isn't. For that reason I'd back moving the cup back to early season personally to avoid the daft 10 week gap between Quarter and Semi Finals.
