The idea being that you both try to outdo each others away support and bring say at least 500 away fans to each match
This would make for a much better atmosphere at both games
Co operation between the clubs outside SL is the only way they will survive
RL clubs need to realise that (on field aside) they are not in competition with other RL clubs, but are in fact competing against Soccer, RU, cricket and any number of alternatives.
Collaborations such as you propose will be essential to the long term viability and strength of RL as a whole.

I agree totally.
For example, I doubt many if any Super League clubs could afford an advert in a national newspaper but if the 14 came together to put the 7 games and numbers for tickets. They might need a little help from the rfl to get it in there but I think it would benefit all parties.
Also could do something similar with the Championship.

There's the problem
As regards the suggestion in a national paper , once again possibly for SL yes , but that is the only sort of marketing the RFL seem to be either interested in or able to do
The Championship clubs need localised marketing not national marketing

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

By the same can be done with the Championship I meant on a smaller level and I hope the rfl realise more that there is rugby league outside of Super League as it is very important not to cut clubs adrift and get the game healthy at all levels.

Too late for that Matey
They havent a clue how to help the Championships , their imagination goes as far as wasting 100's of 1,000's of pounds putting our French colleagues in with us

ISC won't have any clubs next year. The guy that owns the francise in the U.K has gone bust. Their only been kept afloat by the ausies at the moment because of thir contracts with Leeds and Hull, which are up at the end of this season.

So that's another one gone.
Maybe Adidas could branch into it like they have done with Saints George Illawarra.

i am a bit suprised the likes of adidas and nike haven't branched out into RL given the number of shirts that are sold at the likes of leeds,hull and others although IIRC adidas were with wigan at one stage
