Huddersball, can't think of a better name. IMO, should get rid of the name rugby from our sport.

I agree sky dropping rugby.

But Huddersball? Northerners would call it 'Uddersball, and that sounds like an intersex cow.

If you think SL is the wrong name for the sport can we rename the National Confernce League, seeing as all the teams are in the North

Huddy sounds like the name of a sport to me.

The sport should've been called Origin Football League following the success of Origin, but we are where we are, and given the traction in Canada and the US forthcoming, I quite like the idea of nicking back the word rugby - so when people think of rugby they think of RFL, like NFL or NHL - there's always an L. a U is just, well, it's not what they know as elite

Rugby (in places where RL is more popular than RU)

Rugby League where RU is more popular

Division 1/Top Division for our well, erm top division

Second Division etc

Get shut of “Super League” - it is old hat and damaging for the sport. Sky RL should be called Rugby League

I think that the Super League name has had its day. If Super League hadn't have broken away from the RFL we could have had the RFL Betfred Premiership to go with the NRL Telstra Premiership.

That would have been much better and clearly Rugby League

Many criticise RL administrators for allowing RU to trademark RWC and World Rugby. Rightly so. Unfortunately that has come and passed, nothing that can be done now.

Can the club game of RL utilise the profile of the Rugby World Cup and RU’s international events to it’s advantage?

Importantly, there is still no real global club rugby championship of either code. The WCC is still an absolute tragedy of an attempt to crown a World Champion club side and meanwhile Rugby Union still has no such event.

“World Series Rugby” perhaps....

And let’s be honest with ourselves, a global club rugby championship is the one opportunity that our sport can still make a serious global impact on before rugby union gets the jump on us there as well.

I suppose we could try "Northern Union"...

Surely the only criteria is to have "Rugby League" in the name.
