| Not really. As has been shown on here some prefer the last game to be the deciding fixture. If other sports tried that formula I'd expect done of those sports supporters to like to as well. Licensing was great too, just managed poorly by the RFL. lots more progress with great young players coming through and better facilities being built. This is exactly what was needed. Licensing should have carried on for 20 years at least to keep seeing the benefit. The RFL needed to have the balls to take licences off clubs, but it didn't.

| I think a lot of clubs should have had the balls to embrace the spirit of licensing too, and use it as an opportunity to shape up. Sadly, they didn't, and we are one of them. Money thrown down the drain.
As for the new structure, it's a tough call. We've experimented with so many different formats in the past, it's hard to know where fairness lies. I'm happy enough with the playoffs, although for the sake of what I see as fairness, I'd probably reduce it to a straight knock-out between the top 4.

| Stay with 14 - we need the 13 home fixtures and bring back P&R (1 up - 1 down) with minimum standards.

| Bring back the Yorkshire and Lancashire Cups plus it'd be great if teams like Australia and New Zealand toured and played the top 8 clubs again.
Keep the system for Grand Final but promotion and relegation is needed.

Bring back winter rugby? Really? How many games do you want in a season with league , premiership, county cup pre season, challenge cup. Too much for the players. Unless you get knocked out first round of everything !

| Got to say i would stick with licensing but has been pointed out, the RFL have made a mockery of the concept and smaller clubs like Wake have not used it to their benefit.
If we go back to P+R we will have more over the hill imports coming over to prop up the promoted clubs for a season at the expense of developing our own.
The gap between Aus and England will become even greater.

I'd suggest its the gap between Italy and England that is our biggest worry at the moment

Probably the best result.
May stop people kidding themselves that there is nothing wrong with our game.
If England have to play a New Zealander at stand off and a Loose Forward at scrum half, this is the clearest indication that we have to stick with franchising for the long term recovery of our game.

I dont disagree, whatever structure that is used, if it isnt worked at, it will fail, and if the people tasked with doing that work arent capable, then they should be replaced

Good idea, lets also forget the wheel and go back to living in mud huts and trading goats.
