8 English clubs should join the NRL . If the NRL remain with 16 teams . We could have 3 pools of 8 . So English pool would be one pool and two Aussie/ kiwi pools of 8 . You play your own pool home and away which equals 14 games . Then play four teams from each of the other two pools . Four at home / four away for another 8 games giving total of 22 rounds . Then top 12 in merit table of 24 play in knock out to be champions . With top 4 getting a bye in first round . That would also give us room to have an international round robin with Australia , England and New Zealand .
