JP has has said there are too many teams in SL and the current 14 teams should be reduced to ten. I fully agree with him. www.loverugbyleague.com/news_692 ... eague.html
I would change the current Rugby League structure so it is 4 leagues of 10 (SL1, SL2, Championship, Championship 1) Something along the lines of:
SL1 SL2 Championship Championship 1
Warrington Salford Barrow South Wales
St Helens Broncos Hunslet Whitehaven
Wigan Wakefield York Gateshead
Leeds Crusaders Dewsbury Bramley
Hudds Fev Swinton Oldham
Catalan Widnes Keighley Coventry Bears
Hull Halifax Workington Medway Dragons
Hull Kr Leigh Rochdale Hemel Stags
Castleford Sheffield Skolars Bristol
Bradford Toulouse Batley Northampton
Have 5 team play offs and bring back promotion and relegation. This would give more teams something to play for and increase competition. The top 7/8 teams would be targeting play off spots whilst the bottom 2/3 would be looking to avoid relegation. Some teams might complain at being relegated to form this league structure but if you are good enough you maintain your position in SL. SL1 + 2 would play each other 3 times with a magic weekend making 28 games. Championship levels would play each other twice and have the northern rail cup as well (4 groups of 5, top 2 quarter finals). I would also reduce the overseas limit to 3 players in the top 25 paid players and increase the number of club trained players. I would also give clubs to take 1 player off there salary cap to try and keep the best young players in SL and not tempted by the dark side!!
What do people think of these potential changes? How would others improve the current RL structure? |

| Has he checked this out with Comrade Wilkin to ensure it's an opinion consistent with that of the members?
Presumably the players will be happy to take smaller salaries, on the basis that shorter seasons mean less work? |

Wasn't it proffesor Peacock that suggested Cardiff on the first weekend of the year to get SL of to a cold & poorly supported weekend.
Isn't he now trying to become some "union" rep for the players.
Peacock needs to realise he is to thick to have an opinion.
There are those that dont know
There are those that know they dont know
and then there are people like Peacock who dont know they dont know

We'll all have to accept less of everything; less televised games means lower TV money, less games means lower gate receipts, less games means lower revenues from concessions and merchandise etc. Either that or we have some funny league structure where some teams in the top division play each other twice and some thrice, and I know from previous experience how everyone loves that one. |

Better than the current championship I would guess. Average attendances would go up alot in SL1 though.
Quote TFC="Wnidyone2012"Is not going to happen any time soon.'"
Your right there. I would do a better job than Richard Lewis though. |

No doubt someone will join the thread and declare this to be the holy grail, but it just doesn't work. Hopefully this thread will die a quick death...

I presume he would be elected to be a rep so that would be the players' wish.
Out of interest, how do you know he is "too thick to have an opinion"? |

Its something people seem to bring up a lot, not sure what sense it makes or what the real benefits would be.
