Reduce NRL to 15 rounds - Gorden Tallis 
FORMER Test captain Gorden Tallis has called for an overhaul of rugby league scheduling, with representative matches to be played as stand-alone fixtures and the NRL season reduced to a 15-round competition.
Tallis agreed with the assertions of Cowboys stars Johnathan Thurston and Luke O'Donnell that the status of Test matches was being denigrated by players being forced to back up for their clubs on the same weekend.
Writing in his exclusive column for our Brisbane sister paper The Courier-Mail, Tallis has put forward a blueprint he believes the NRL should take forward when broadcast rights are next negotiated in 2012.
Among his ideas are a reduction in premiership matches with clubs playing each other once before the finals; a new pre-season competition to be played predominantly in regional centres; and a revamped representative schedule with stand-alone Test matches and State of Origins.
"While players backing up in rugby league is a thing of legend it doesn't necessarily make it right," Tallis wrote.

Fewer games, Higher quality. More time for internationals.
Its a good idea but clubs will want more money from the gates and the tv want as longer season as possible to sell more advertising.
I would like something similar to happen to Superleague. 20 round season maybe?

Correct.
The players would like the idea, but would they be prepared to take a 30 - 40
percent wage cut.
I doubt it. |

You have to love the players constantly wanting to reduce the number of games.
financially you cant reduce the number of games without cutting wages.
Also there must come a point were there isnt enough home games to make stadiums viable as well.

It would only be viable if they could sell more ads for each game shown, by let's see........ TV timeouts when the ball goes dead maybe? That might work. |

Since when were matchdays the only possible day in which clubs can generate income? |

If they went to 15 games, the clubs would go out of business in two seasons max. All the stars would be evenly spread around world rugby (both codes) and we would smash the dross that was left on an annual basis |
