Indeed, and it seems Morley now agrees with him!

Today's namby-pamby players are just a bunch of bloomin' lightweights!!

Remember before the days of the lovely summer Sky league, we had a 26 match league (and prior to that a 30 match league), a County Cup competition, Regal Trophy, Challenge Cup, Top 8 play-offs, and all played, the majority of the time, in muddy, tiring conditions.

A successful side could thus be expected to play 40-50 games a season, and, for most of the time, spectators were satisfied with what they were seeing, so please none of the rubbish about how much fitter and greater today's bunch of superstars are.

I would like to see a 25 round Super League, similar to the NRL. They play 24 games and incorporate a bye round. We can keep our "Magic" round.

And maybe its an idea that any player who plays in the Four Nations for England can only play 22 or 23 rounds in the following year`s Super League regular rounds? A cap for the Elite. Pros and Cons to that but we flog our star players to death so its time the RFL looked at all possibilities. Thoughts?

I wouldn't mind being 'flogged' to death for the money some of these guys are on...

Really, its about time some of these guys stopped moaning and simply got on with earning a bloody good living from playing a game they supposedly love.

Neither would I, but I also wouldnt mind seeing England/GB win a series against Australia before I die. We are up against it anyway without pounding our Elite players with an extra 6 or 7 weeks of games.

You are making excuses for the simple fact that the British game does not have the quality to take on NZ or Australia.

Tiredness is a tiny factor, the players not being good enough is the biggest.

Not long enough. Footballs constantly rammed down your throat all year, the offseason lasts two days then its another season
