| 10 teams would be OK. Play each other 3 times and alternate the extra fixture between home and away. Would increase competition and the quality of games and players
Get rid of
salford
widnes
rovers
wakefield
Bail out bradford and support london more effectively

| He said 12 teams. Teams to drop out would be 2 of Bradford, Salford and Cas.
Not much chance of London dropping out as apparently Sky are keen to keep them in.
Bradford possibly because of their current financial situation, plus poor Stadium.
Salford possibly because of financial issues.
Cas because of poor stadium and not fulfilling things that were stated in their licence application (such as the Stadium).

Life is a game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen. TONY D'AMATO: |

| Sorry meant 12 not 10.
But 10 could work....
And I would add London to KR & Wakey on that list.
Could toss a coin the between Widnes & Salford.
I want to see Bradford get back. They have a lot to offer the game.
What about a State of Origin series? Yorkshire v Lanacashire but players picked on the county they were born not on which club they play for? Example John Wilkin would play for Yorkshire.
Forget the French!!
I think done well that could be a great spectacle? And a break from the SL matches.
Of course the 3 match series would have to have 1 game at the KC? Probably the other 2 at DW Stadium & Galpharm. Could see 20000 crowds for them games if marketed right?
Won't respond to PhilB - no fact behind his reason and nothing added to the debate - is there a term for that?

| As much as I hate the dobbins I would not want them out of super league , even after years and years of watching the derby I still get butterflies and that sick feeling deep down in my gut.
I dont think it would be in the intrest of sl to lose kr either because
A.. The derby games up the av att for the league and especially the magic weekend
B.. The same as ourselfs teams like wakey, cass, salford and giants rely on the aways support that both our sets of fans bring to their grounds
Long live hull fc and long live super leagues only TRUE derby

Ten clubs? You think any club would be happy losing a third of their home games? The alternative would be playing some sides three time and some twice. That clearly is not fair. It's bad enough with the extra "Magic" fixture.

Play each team 3 times? Still 27 fixtures? Whoever scores the most tries in the first two games gets home draw in the third? I dont know!
Then again exactly how many do London bring to the KC anyway? Hardly a loss.
Huddersfield only brought about 200!
Current gene pool of players over 10 teams means they would all be stronger, the game would be better, more of an attraction - more fans?
Its just a thought.

| I fully agree with reducing the number of clubs but didn't the SL chairmen vote for 14 clubs ?

You clearly know nothing about your own club. That's why the Grudge has said Rovers have to cut costs and not spend the cap. We lost 250 grand your average loss is double that and this year will be even more as your gates have dropped by 1000

| if it were to go back to 12 teams then that would have to bring back the 6 team play offs which i feel they should go back to even in this 14 team competition
if it were to be 10 teams we could play everyone 3 times but if it is 12 teams would just play everyone twice with an extra for Magic weekend 23 games?

| Personally would like to see two full time leagues of 10 with P&R and the money split between the leagues 66:33. Extra fixtures made up of a League Cup with group stages rather than playing teams 3 times in the league.
Wakefield have turned the corner and are a club on the up. Check out their crowds, the developments at the club, etc since Glover took over. More chance of them sticking around than Cas. Cas are no closer to a stadium than they were 5 years ago.
Salford have the ground but seriously need to improve on the pitch and in the crowds. Similar to Widnes I suppose. Don't know where these rumours of them being in financial trouble are coming from. They're just living within their means.
Bradford, well they should start again really unless the new owners pay off the debts.
London should be out. Poorest in all areas other than the ground.
As for Rovers, well I can't see why you'd kick them out other than the ground issue, which is changing bit by bit. Not quite at the pace everyone would like, but faster than Cas and Wakey anyway!
I'd probably go Bradford (bust), London (poor), Cas (declining) and Widnes/Salford.
