HappyDave Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) So... Seeing as I'm guessing you're Welsh is that your reason for placing South Wales Scorpions in the wrong league?... Or is this meant to be in 10 years time when you expect them to have been promoted? Btw, you've put Cas & les Cats in the wrong 'Super League' so Toulouse would have to remain in the 'Championship'.

bowes Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) I'd merge down the top 3 divisions to 14 and 16ish teams (which a few switches round) as 10 teams isn't enough (though there is a case for 12 sides in SL). Then look at merging the remainder C1 with the top of the NCL as part of a National League structure Edited July 22, 2010 by bowes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalesRLFan Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 yes they would lose money but fewer games would mean need smaller squad so drop 3overpaid imports from each squad also would save money not travelling as often, would fans spend more at games on food/drink/merchandise if they were paying less often at gate? More Internationals and rep games would generate more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
