Personally I think we made a big mistake moving from 14 to 12 teams in Super League. Hull kr, Bradford, Halifax, London, Toulouse and Toronto all have the potential to sustain a Super League club and it makes no sense restricting the number to 12 to me. The RFL should hold their hands up and change back to 14 teams.

If anything I'd go to 16.

RFL? Didn't the chairmen vote for it?

Not enough decent players for a 14 team league.

It's an interesting argument but onus has to be on the clubs through academies to create the player pool. Initially there probably aren't enough good players but it's either a long term growth of the game by developing them. Or perhaps we should keep reducing the number of top flight teams to increase the standard even further. I think also need to broaden the areas new players come from, which both Toulouse and Toronto provide a perfect opportunity.

If you drop the quotas there would be.

How can you get a better quality super league if you make it smaller therefore reducing the genepool?. For instance a young person who is good at every sport he does is deciding which one to choose. If there are 16 teams in super league he stands a better chance in that sport,but as there are only twelve he decides to chance his arm at cricket instead because he has more chance of success, and that in my opinion is why we can't attract people to play.

Raise the salary cap (since is been the same for twenty years which is bizarre!) and increase the quota and there would be.

How many decent or potential SL quality players have to drop down a division every year under the current academy system, particularly from the likes of Wigan, Leeds and Saints? You only have to look at the Widnes squad. Add in the fact Hull KR and Londons squads have shown an ability to at least not get blown off the park and we have more than enough players for 14 teams.

I'd hate for the quota going up, there are too many average overseas players here as it is, and to suggest the quality of import would increase just by increasing the cap is a bit of a myth. If we want to develop the league the focus has to be put on clubs developing players, not buying them in.

WHEN you have finished with this poll send it to the RFL and get them to do it next year and hkr and london can go up

Wasn't Hudgell one of the driving forces to get it to 12?

Bring back franchising but base it on inclusion rather than exclusion. If a team is good enough off the field, let them in. Increase the overseas quota and salary cap to encourage stars from overseas. Work out how to manage a bigger league as it grows.

Top six into the play-off system. Bottom 8 play-off for a shield.

I'd rather see a well structured academy/reserve grade than a couple of extra teams from France,Canada etc

14 for me with Toulouse and Toronto being added to the leagues and seemingly more growth to come.

Keep it as it is!!! I think its becoming a joke that people want it changing nearly every season.

The only change I would make would be to get rid of the MPG. Top 4 come straight up. No 4th vs 5th crap.

Super 8s stay as it is. Yeh the bottom 2/3 teams may not have a chance of a top 4 finish but its their own fault for letting the top 4 get so far ahead.

This would seem the fairest option, but Sky love drama like this 'cos it makes good telly. However it is heartless for all the true fans of the teams involved.

The team that finishes first should be champions. Either get rid of the Grand Final gimmick or turn it into another comp e.g football has the league and FA cup.

The grand final is hardly a gimmick, there has been a final more than there hasn't been through the history of our game. The only real period that there wasn't one was from the early 70s to super league.

Did I dream about the RL Premiership that lasted until 1995?

I'm not really old enough to remember the premiership in masses of detail, remember a couple of the later ones. I was meaning more a grand final to determine the league champions, akin to what we have now, but you're quite right, there was a final of some description.

Only teams beginning with W were allowed to win it.

........and overlook one of the biggest most prosperous cities in the world located some 150 miles south of the RL hub, and they say there is not bigotry towards the south.

Could i vote for 8 please.
