The RFL never said that. They said that the Championship clubs would have four home games and the $uperleague clubs three.


Ah right. I only saw the four home ties bit. So how will they decide who plays home/away?

There is no easy way of doing this as a straight one up one down won't work as you cannot jump from a part time club to full time and vice versa the gap in finances is too wide, this way round the ambitious Championship clubs can reap the benefit of doing well by getting more money if they finish in the top 2 (if the SL greedy gits agree to this) plus the 'play off' games will have real meaning and should get decent gates so higher income and the biggest one of all the league positions and play offs will have some meaning as there is at last something to play for!!!
That is the biggest thing in RL today getting back that interest from fans as well as getting rid of a system that was riddled with corruption and manipulation.

Toulouse in and SL sides relegated, I'll believe it when its actually happened, The RFL generate zero confidence in me to follow up on anything other than whats in the interests of key board members and affiliates. A lot can happen between now and 2015.

Re: Today's Meeting : Sat Jan 18, 2014 3:04 pm  
Once again the RFL and clubs show they have no idea on how to get the game going forward again. 12x2 and 3x8 is just a stupid concept and does nothing to even look at trying to solve some of the major issues within the game. It offers a small hope for Fax and Fev, but the information is poor at best on how things exactly will work. Salary Cap? Academy and U23s? Minimum standards- not that there were any in SL since 2009!!.

I expect this system to last a couple of seasons before the Clowns then decide on another change to keep people happy instead of looking at sorting the major issues in the game out. It does nothing for me and I still cant see much of a future for our game with such decisions being made. :SHOOT: :WALL:

I think the League Express editorial suggestion by Martyn Sadler was the best option, though never put on the table. I would think that though as I emailed it to him last summer, in my suggestion one team would be promoted every two years and promoted teams would know they had two years in the top flight. They would also go up one year after winning promotion so they could prepare and compete on level terms for players, not ideal but the one that gave promoted teams a chance to plan and a chance to thrive.

I think the best comment on VT so far is, to paraphrase,

"The super league fans have lost their comfort blanket, leave them alone!"

It's great to see them react in the way we did when licensing was introduced. It's embarrassing when a process you back so epically fails. Don't like to say I told you so....

Re: Today's Meeting : Sun Jan 19, 2014 1:47 am  
really looking forward to this new system. Fax Fev or Leigh certainly not guaranteed entry to SL but at least now there is hope and should bring a lot more interest to Rugby league.

I just hope they stick at it even if the SL clubs claim it isn't working. Although im not a big fan of the 4th v 5th playoff game to settle the final SL spot in the middle 8 I think in time it could become huge and really popular with all fans just like the footy playoffs

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

With the ' lob sided ' number of games it is the only real fair way of deciding something as important as promotion , although yes the more chances the SL clubs have to beat the Championship ones the less chances there will be to displace one
