The first thing the RFL could do is simply revert back to a top 6. that would be one step closer to sanity.

Its simply means if you finish top you have to lose 2 home games to not make the GF, which is a lot more unlikely than losing 1 home game. It immediatley gives advantage back to the team finishing top and give competition back to the regular season.

That's the problem. There is nothing wrong with having a playoff system to decide the Champions, what is wrong is having a regular season format that matters little when the playoffs roll around. Each and every regular season game should have the same intensity of the playoffs because one slip up and one drop of position in the league and you're GF chances go down the swanny.

And as soon as your chances of making the 6 disappear you give up trying? Ergo.

Try harder then.

Don't blame the good teams for your own teams lack of ambition or self respect

Quite. It should make no difference what end of season system there is if you have self respect.

Exactly. I'm sick of the RFL and fans using that as an excuse for a top 8 or for having relegation or what ever other stupid notion they cock up. If you aren't good enough. Tough. If you want to BE good enough then do something about it. Go out and get sponsorship from big names instead of "Fred and Wilma's Sandwich Bar" and "Jim's Skips".

RL will stay in the dark ages and may even die completely because half the people in the game have absolutely no ambition and don't possess the balls to tell the little clubs to shape up.

Harsh, but true!

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.

Agree with this but back to GB for the tours!

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
