Wonder how long it will be until we’re having the same discussions?
You can change the structure however many times you want, but it’s not a miracle cure for an ailing game.

Lack of quality player pool, our salary being dwarfed by union and the NRL, poor quality games, diminishing sponsorship and attendances. All to remedied in yet another change of structure decided upon by self serving owners.

We can’t even negotiate a half decent tv deal, so I won’t hold my breath on them making a success of yet another restructure.

There's a lot of simple things that could be a lot better.

Just one example, I'd ban games from taking place at the same time as SKY fixtures. Meaning more RL fans at home watching SKY and therefore making the rights more attractive. At the moment we have a crazy situation where say Saints will be on TV while Leeds, Hull and Wigan are all at home instantly reducing the potential viewership by 30-40k then we wonder why SKY wont pay much.

Sounds like a Unilateral Declaration of Indipendence if the vote doesn’t go Super League’s way. Gary Hetherington will be on the phone for the next 36 hours trying to get the lower divisions to kybosh it. Wonder what Super League will do without Leeds.

What will leeds do without SL?

It’s always amazed me that there can be a full round of fixtures on the same night as a Sky game - viewing figures and attendances are bound to be affected

Hetherington could well box himself into a corner and the other 11 chairman may well use a breakaway to bin him and invite another club, Toronto or Toulouse, if either don’t make the cut this year?

Who in their right mind would ever want Toronto in Superleague?

Love them or hate them, SL needs Leeds one of only a few clubs capable of an average crowd of above 10k and a newly rennovated ground.

I’m willing to give Toronto a chance but they are not the saviour of RL, we still need the well supported teams, SL has suffered without Bradford the last few years also.

Reports coming in that a 12 team league with 1 up 1 down was passed overwhelmingly

Move Cup Final to bank holiday end of May too.

Not a hope in hell that leeds will ever be excluded from a league unless they get relegated. hetherington knows this, and rightly or wrongly he feels like his club lead the game as a whole.

i have a feeling that there is going to be a lot of turmoil this off season. the question is will the likse of eddie hearn step into it, lets face it is probably now or never for him

And here is the [url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/45520586outcome[/url of the meeting

Can't be at Wembley if they do

Why Karen? Footy play offs?

I would have liked to have seen, that the club that get promoted are protected against being relegated for one year.

Torontonians, and me, our kid lives there

people who have friends in Canada so you can build the away game around a little holiday

There is still no real reward for finishing top of Super League apart from a semi final play off place.
Surely at least give a grand final place to the League winners.

To be fair that could work the other way, if the league leaders got a by to final then they may be cold for the final when their opponent have had a tough playoff game to get them in the mood. Saints for example could have the league leaders shield wrapped up tonight, then not face a competitive game for a month.

Your speaking from a fans point of view, pretty sure the players think winning the league leaders shield is a reward

Yeah

No i am thinking from a clubs point of view.
There should be more financial gain and if a major increase in money is not available then the league Champions should automatically be rewarded with a place in the Grand Final.

Home clubs profits are helped massively by away support,would you prefer 400 or more from bradford,feath,halifax,leigh,or 6 from catalans,and toronto ?

I'd rather we get 6 from Toronto. The focus should be on the home side attracting 400 more home fans, and Toronto getting 8k to 10k for their home games compared to Halifax and feath getting 2k

Sides shouldn't rely on away support, it can be sporadic and can fluctuate. Focus on attracting and retaining home support

Toronto averaged 3.5k paying customers in 2017.
