Will super league follow premiership football? : Sun Oct 11, 2020 7:25 pm  

Just been reading the latest news about Man U & Liverpool wanting to restructure their league. The thing that caught my eye most was the proposal to do away with the one club one vote system. The nine clubs that have been in the league for the longest amount of time, will have full control of running the league.
How would that work in Super League.? I can imagine the C.E.Os of Wigan, Saints, Warrington, Leeds and Hull fc, having a good look at the premiership idea.

Typical them and us syndrome DS, but if they do listen and follow it wouldn’t surprise me having what’s happened in the past.

Although if you went for half the clubs having a vote (the half that have been in there the longest) we'd be one wouldn't we???

After the 5 you've named I think we've been in there longer than anyone else

Cas, Hull KR, Salford, Catalans, Huddersfield, Toronto all been in the top flight less time than Trinity

The cash swilling around in The Premiership is massively more than in our game and even if they were to cut SL to 10 clubs and share out the slice of Sky monies, it would save very few clubs.

The key to RL surviving is to get spectators back, without them, I think the SL clubs (as well as the lower league sides) will be screwed, with just a few exceptions.

We should be going the opposite way to (whoever's interested in it) prem football.
Make SL 14 teams, keep Magic and just play each other twice.......

That would be a good idea without Magic.

Has the idea of a 9's Tournament been explored before in SL?

Yeah many times, the consensus being that it's of little interest to the majority.

There’s a reason why I detest Liverpool and Man United. Both horrible clubs.
