I don't think the RFL are too concerned about making an example of what happens when you don't balance the books properly, they want the biggest clubs in the country to play in the top league, and regardless of what anybody says, the Bulls are one of the biggest and well known teams in the competition.
Regarding your ideas on adjusting the fixture calendar....it won't work. More fixtures
I understand that arguement but many sports suffer from over exposure - e.g falling gates at soccer - all but disappearance of snooker - poor attendances at cricket. By having a small drop in the number of fixtures tends to make the 'action' less frequent and therefore more desirable. Scarcity can create desire. Are you better having 3 home games with 10k at each one or 2 home games with 15k at each one?

| CC should be played at start of season with Final played on May Bank Holiday w/end (ditch magic)
Think we will end up back at 12 teams in a few years time, not enough talent around to support 14 teams with few players now coming from the NRL and potentially more heading in the opposite direction.
Agree with previous poster that there seems a concerted effort to keep the Bulls afloat and if the deal with the Asian businessmen goes through then I'm sure that things will be fudged to retain them in SL next season, the RFL have a vested interest as they own the leasehold on Odsal.....the next couple of clubs to face administration however may not be so lucky.

| Think the magic weekend is great, and great value for money as well. If we can actually keep a regular venue we may see attendances improve year on year.
Play-offs favour the higher placed teams but think it was better when restricted to the top 5/6.
Putting higher ranked teams into the cup at later stages sort of goes against the whole fairytale of the cup for the smaller teams. I am sure teams like Sheffield would much rather play Wigan/Leeds/Saints etc than Wakey/London/Salford.
Why would a 13 club SL alter the amount of injuries? Players would get 2 games less a season but the risk of injury is just as high. how would you work out which team has to wait till week 13 to get a rest? Injuries hit at different times thoughout a season and unless the RFL employ a psychic to do the weekly fixtures those games when a team has x amount of players out will still happen.

Magic is not great
The cups death is a crying shame, look at the attendances of the Semi, all the cup gates are down, its poor, really sad to see.

Some like magic some don't.
If you move the cup the attendances will still be poor, people are struggling more and more financially and their commitment to rugby is limited to the odd game or a season pass and they will save their money for a possible final appearance rather than on a semi final.
