Hope this isn't true, but, if it's linked with the stories last week about some clubs wanting to kick Catalan out of SL, it shows the small mindedness of many club owners. We can't chop and change yet again, need to give the IMG structure time to bed in. Without IMG, would every game have been on TV? would Cas have actually made improvements to their ground? Would we have had time to do a proper rebuild? Or would we just be having a mad panic signing whichever journeyman Aussie we could?
In my opinion, the game can't grow much more in northern in England, we need to stick with IMG and let them grow the game and generate new commercial opportunities. Clubs were struggling pre IMG, hence why they were brought in, what do these chairmen think will happen if we scrap IMGs plans? Catalan get kicked out, Bradford or Widnes get promoted and bring a few hundred more away fans to game than Catalan do and that'll solve the club's financial problems? No, if we get rid of IMG, the game will become more insular and continue to fade into insignificance

| It should be 14 teams play each other twice plus Magic and get rid of the loop fixtures. We've played Warrington three times already but haven't played Salford or Wigan yet. I'd also introduce the Yorkshire and Lancashire cup as pre season trophies, 16 in each up to the clubs how serious they take it but majority of the time we play Yorkshire clubs in pre season anyways.

Scheduling is something they need to look at, we also played Leeds twice in a row at home. Know it's hard to get it completely even with stadiums having pitch work derby games needing to be at Easter etc but surely having teams play each other once each 'half' of a season isn't that hard.
Also on the broadcasting lowlights include the BBC showing a semi against the Premier League final day (even 2 hours earlier kickoff would have helped there) this weekend they've out put an England game on against the Euros and that's probably a factor in not getting it on TV (Friday night is a night off for the Euros) Hard to avoid every event I know but the game needs to get sharper at it

| A celebration of 90 years of RL in France and it plays second fiddle to a championship game .

The Thursday before the Euros began there was no sport on TV, a super League game then would have drawn in the viewers, instead they scheduled 3 at once on the Friday, clashing with the opening game of the euros. Definitely need to be smarter with the scheduling and stagger kick off times more.

| Is anyone familiar at all with rugby league seriously expecting the empty blazers at RFL HQ (or the self-interested blowhards of SL for that matter) to apply common sense after all these decades?
The game has been in its death throes for a long time now, and all they ever do is rearrange the Titanic's deck chairs one more time: IMG is merely the latest manifestation.
