Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Toronto and Toulouse would certainly rejuvenate and light up Super league, in place of Salford and KR would improve the league no end.
Tolouse vs Catalans is a mouth watering prospect to all rugby league fans.

Quote ="Call Me God"And here we are 23 years later treading water with clubs like Wakefield waiting for the £1,800,000 survival payments, playing out of a decrepit old stadium in front of shrinking crowds.....not exactly "super" is it?
Merged clubs will work, but they won't be cheap.....if there was a top flight of SUPER CITY CLUBS and the HULL CITY club was a co-operation between FC and HKR, with both those clubs still playing in a 2nd tier.....there's potentially a 20k fan base there.....if you had a potential 20k base delivering £400,000 on game day at the gate, you'd have investors lining up.....but if you say "not ever going to support anyone other than HKR" then let's carry on for the next 23 years or until SKY realise that we aren't that "super".....'"
FFS man, give it a rest. />
We currently have 12 SL clubs, with 1 of these being French. />
If you merge the 2 Hull clubs and put Cas and Wakefield together, that leaves you with 9.
I.m not sure what you plan is with Huddersfield, Salford and Widnes, maybe we just strike them off or, throw Huddersfield in with Bradford and Widnes could merge with Wire.
Do you have any evidence that Sky will contribute more money to RL if there were either fewer clubs or that the games were played in front of larger crowds ??
If we have fewer clubs, necessarily there would be fewer fixtures (or, even more repeats).
We have already sold our soul to Sky and whilst everyone has been happy to take their money, the spread of games over 4 days in the week has further reduced attendances but, you go for it. />
How attractive would our sport become with say, 8 SL clubs playing each other 6 or 7 times a season  www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//d040.gif" alt=" d040.gif" title="CRAZY" />

If it wasn’t for mergers, the Huddersfield giants and their sub 5k attendences wouldn’t be in superleague. Just a shame we never got to find out if the eagles could do better

Sorry, but we have, and the general Sheffield public aren't interested. That said, if all fans were as passionate about their club as those they do have, then RL would be in a far better place.
