RFL should concentrate on youth more and developing more talent rather than worrying about people ing off to yawnion or NRL. A rule where at least 3 under 21 players should be in the 17 would be encourage that. Other sports do similar rules and it forces clubs to focus on young kids.

richard lewis did a lot for our sport. he was a big loss. i look at the large numbers of young players being blooded in superleague now and the relative lack of overpaid oversea players and wonder how strong our international team(s) could be in 4 or 5 years. a return to promotion and relegation might threaten this development as clubs go for the safe but expensive option of imports and dodgy claims to british ancestry to save them from the drop. how the english football game could use a set up like we have in superleague at the moment

and who knows? we might even unearth a couple of young halfbacks

12 teams.
Top 6 play offs.
Bottom 2 in SL at the end of the season play each other in relegation playoff. Loser down.
Simple really.

If you're going to have a relegation playoff, it should also include the potential promotion candidates too. What's the point in dropping one team for another team that could prove to be worse?

P&R should not be given any serious consideration is Superleague. The licensing system MUST be given time to work, 4.5 years is nowhere near long enough. We should give the current system another ten years and if in that time we're not seeing any real, tangible benefits, then we should look for an alternative
