Keep it 14 teams with promotion and relegation. No exemptions from relegation if you finish bottom your down simple

I would also reinstate the U20's with effect from next season and tell those clubs who complain that they can't afford it, tough t1ts; developing young players is part of the deal when you enter SL - reduce your expenditure on 1st team to cover it, or get the hell out of Dodge.

To go with the above, I'd also look at limiting the number of first grade games each player can participate in per season, thus forcing clubs to go deeper into their squad; to support that in terms of cap, I would make 50% of the salary of club-trained youngsters who play first grade exempt from the salary cap. I would also enable each club to pay one MVP whatever they wanted, exempt from the salary cap.

Finally, I would levy a % of Sky money from every club and ring-fence the proceeds of that levy to support community clubs with, for example, coach education and facilities development.

Have you put the above in your application for Big Nige's job Bren ?
You realise that it's all far too sensible to be considered but, it sounds bang on the money

Another idea would be to bring back the Yorkshire and Lancashire cups as a pre-season tournament - something Gary Schofield mentions regularly in his League Weekly column. Brings more money into the game.

Indeed, I'm sure he'd be able to find a better Taylor too.

There's an article on the SL website about Catalan Dragons backing Toulous's bid for SL in 2015.
Assuming they are successful (and French TV cash will be difficult to turn down), which team would drop out of the "24" ?

Considering there's 14 teams in both SL and the KPC a total of five teams will need to drop out of the 24 if Toulouse are included in the new structure. At a guess the bottom four as they are now would be the most likely. The other could perhaps be Dewsbury.

Toulouse bid is looking even stronger after the Catalan vs KR game was held there with an attendance of 14858, which regardless of which side of the expansion argument you prefer, is an excellent effort and it's starting to look nailed on that they will be in SL in 2015 (perhaps in place of London ??)

Toulouse should be given a chance, so should other clubs who have been overlooked for years.


Let them see if they can make a better fist of it, get rid of clubs who have failed to move forward.
