Definitely, 100%. I'm a supporter of the 14 team division with 26 games. I quite like the suggestion of making Magic Weekend a nine-a-side tournament.

Whilst we're on about changes, howzabout going back to competitive, meaningful scrums instead of a six-a-side play the ball.

Absolutely spot on, summer rugby was brought in "supposedly" to play in better conditions (Widnes at home) and a shorter season, as far as I can see the season has now been extended, I personally think the off season is too short for the players, seven weeks off for athletes who take a battering every week seems a paltry amount.

EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN

Re: League structure : Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:00 pm  
It should be a 14 team league with some sort of franchising, but with a different emphasis.

Last time, with the three-yearly re-appraisal, it was all about who would be chucked out. The emphasis should be on "inclusion", not "exclusion"; that is, if a club can justify it's inclusion, work out how to accommodate it rather than working out who to chuck out to make room for them.

This can be done via a conference system or whatever, but it accommodates expansion whilst not closing the door on heritage clubs.

The only dilemmas are funding (how to spread the cost without cutting club income) and how to maintain supporter interest for those teams out of the play-off hunt.

But that's why we have vibrant and forward-thinking administrators, to work out new TV deals in those markets where the expansion clubs would play, like North America and continental Europe, or other media revenue streams.

Oh, hang on, I realised I was doing well until I got to the last sentence .....

playing some teams 3 times and others only twice - make it not a fair comp. relegation can often be decided by who has the better/worse draw !!!

Starting the season so early is insane for the players welfare
We need to go to 14 teams and drop loop fixtures
Play everyone home and away

I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to anyone that doesn’t want to see this happen

Plus we can start the season in March
