Ha, sorry! Bad math.



Well it's on tv now in it's current form. Would possibly increase it's exposure and if the RFL didn't give the rights away for free it would introduce revenue into the league. Lower league RU gets on there at the moment.

Do the Championship RU clubs get paid for the coverage ?

Not sure. Do they?



Just out of interest what would you like to see happen in 2015 regarding teams?

Either reinstatement of P and R



A 2 x 10 team re structure



A continuance of Licencing but with more work put into the Championships to build the clubs in them, and stricter rules for the SL clubs regarding finances

I can't see P&R ever returning, hence my suggestion of putting the 3 teams into SL.



I think splitting SL into 2 could potentially work. But would a tv broadcaster be interested in SL2?

I think this feeder team project that they have in place for the Championships will emasculate most of the teams and stifle any dreams they have of SL or promotion. They will become surrogates of their respective SL affilated organisations. I agree with MP that the best independent CC teams should be moved into a bigger SL, prefereably Conferences rather than two tiers. I would add Sheffield and maybe a Cumbrian club to the three, Leigh, Fev and Fax to make the SL almost a 20 team league so the two sections could be workable.



Whether or not it could be sold to a TV broadcaster is the 64,000 dollar question.

Fax, Leigh and Fev have all stated that they aren't going to partake in this idiotic feeder scheme.



What do you mean by Conferences? You mean NFL style?

This is how my suggestion would look:



Super League (17 teams):



Warrington

Wigan

St.Helens

Leeds

Bradford

Wakefield

Hull FC

Hull KR

Catalans

Castleford

London

Salford

Huddersfield

Widnes

Leigh

Halifax

Featherstone



Championship (17 team, not included teams that have been added recently):



Sheffield

Batley

Keighley

Dewsbury

Swinton

Hunslet

York

Doncaster

Barrow

Workington

Whitehaven

Rochdale Hornets

Oldham

London Skolars

Crusaders

South Wales

Gateshead



I think the biggest draw back with the 17 team SL is the fact you'd have a 32 weekly game fixture list. Adding play-off games (play-offs kept in it's current top 8 format) and Challenge Cup games into the mix it would mean some teams were hitting potentially 40ish games a season, which Jamie Peacock wouldn't be happy with!

Yes, two conferences of 10. Play esach other h and a in your own league, 18 games and the other league once, 10 games equals 28 games.



The championships would not be included, although you could have licencing or even p and r to get into the top level.

We played in Blagnac in 2009, then at the Stade Minimes in 2010 and 2011. Those of us who were there know where we played

Thats what I put on page 4 , I was there in 2009 , so is the Minimes a better stadium than the one at Blagnac, I did walk through it to get the busses they provided for us, but it didnt seem as good to me, although much more central to the city

In terms of the stands, Blagnac is much better but Minimes is a far better base given it's location and the clubhouse, plus there's a certain amount of room for expansion.
