[quote="TnT":1y640rx7]I think fan input is great as we want bums on seats but img etc have the responsibility of using the competition to market the game and make money amongst other things. Whatever you think of the RFL and IMG they have a tough job. We need the game on terrestrial tv but not Wigan v Isle of Skye ARLFC[/quote:1y640rx7] Can anyone tell me what IMG have done to market and make money for the game? The answer is sweet FA If IMG was an individual person working for a company he would have been sacked by now

There’s a lot of criticism so let’s have some ideas, pls[/quote:3rgvq3oj] Here you go Super league needs to pull away from the RFL and align themselves to teams in the NRL. That alone would would enhance the game in the UK when you have Aussie fans and media following their UK team Increase the cap substantially so that the UK game has a lot more superstars on view.Thats the way you can really start to market the game when R/L superstars become household names and people start to follow them and the game. The interlink of an Aussie club and a UK club could also be used as an outside quota means of a limited interchange of players during a season. TV will always follow success and trying to get TV deals for a product that lacks an audience and Superstars is the wrong way round. The NRL is a great product but they also spend big on marketing and dont stand still. The RFL have over the years proved to be not fit for purpose so if we now have a sport where most of the S/L teams have wealthy owners it should be time to ditch the RFL and IMG with it.
