The simple answer is to fine (heavily) those sides that do not turn up without good reason (not sure what can be deemed as a good reason). This will make teams think long and hard about applying for the league and will ensure only those that are serious do apply. 2 strikes and you are out with minimum notice to call a game off being the Monday prior to the fixture.

This will ensure a quality league with quality teams.....This is the RFL though so I doubt it will happen.

Division one will be a tough league looking forward to the season starting

Im shocked to see some teams that struggled last season and give many games away for 24-0 actually stayed in the leagues they was in

Fitton Hill and Cadishead Rhinos stands out (ignoring the A teams). Plus 3 of the premier division teams called off 2-3 games this year and have been left in place. They seem to have completely ignoring whether clubs fulfil fixtures or not which was the massive downside of the Rugby League Conference which became farcical by the end.
