About this game we love, the teams that are in SL, the teams that are not, franchising etc etc.
Is there anything you want to get off your chest in general.

Here's my idiotic ramblings for the RLFANS public to rip apart

1. I like the fact there is no promotion/relegation, i feel for the guys it hurts but i think it will help the game, i don't know why it will help the game but the arguments [ifor [/isound better and i haven't really understood the full gist of 'promoting youth' because clubs are 'safe' from going down maybe I'm gullible.

2. Wakefield: All you wakey fans, you are not merging with Cas, you are sharing a stadium. If you don't agree then I'm sorry it's time to go and let someone else have a go. What's wrong with you people ?
I'll preempt your comments, [iyes i would share a ground with Widnes[/i

3. Catalans/Crusaders/Quins, you have my vote

4. Why do the RFL not market this game almost everyone i have introduced to this game have loved it (except my wife) my ex even nailed one of the players she loved it that much.

5. Playoffs: TOO MANY TEAMS most people think this

6. Always thought we'd get better crowds if we split the league into an east and west, similar(ish) to NFL then we would have 2 leagues of 10 with top 2 in each playing off for the big one at OT, local games for most of the season with the exception of one or two games would help with crowds too.

7. Do Red Hall favour Leeds and Morley ?

8. Is talking about ticket sales and how many people are going to games really a rugby discussion ?
Marketing and Travel and Tourism for me, why do we have to do it every week ?

9. Are Wire going to expand the stadium, yes we have all seen the engineering link but are they actually doing it ?

10. Does anyone, even one person agree with the new rule of dragging into touch ? It's the worst rule since Stalin

11. Is the 'put on report' a cop out ?

Over to you people, feel free to discuss my post or bring up your own inane ramblings.

Put on report is a cop out, the games are reviewed anyway so is a pointless exercise. The player should be punished at the time, with the benefit going to the team that are getting the penalty, not the team the offending player plays next if he gets a ban or whatever

The dragging into touch rule is a joke one week you will do it and be penalised the next week you will do exactly the same and get penalised take it back to how it used to be we never fussed then.

Also if someone kicks the ball dead from there own half it should be a tap on the 30/40.

The playoffs have to many teams i saw a suggestion on another board saying there should be 7 team in the playoffs and give the league leaders the 1st week off which could be a good idea which truely rewards teams for 1st place

A true reward for the league leader is a spot in the final. Play off down five teams to meet league leaders. Yed, the East/West idea may have some mileage in it, i like that. As with the NRL the league will favour big name players and clubs after all it is they who bring the cash in! Unless Mr Moran can start lining up some music/other events at the stadium on a regular basis the ends of the ground will not be filled in because we will not get the extra fans.

I agree that the winner of the hub-cap at the end of the regular season so have a bye straight to the final.

I agree with the "league winners bye to final" argument. I guess the problem is this may lead to lack of match practice for 3-4 weeks for the winners.

I think league winners should go straight to grand final as they have performed the best throughout the season, that is way they are top. There others should then play off to have the right to play league winners for super league title.

Anyone else have a gripe i have not mentioned?

I am for Promotion and Relagation would make it alot more competetive and exciting IMO.

1) I'd like to see contested scrums, players packing down properly and with the ball fed into the middle.

2) I'd like to see the return of promotion and relegation as I believe it is the essence of a sporting league.

3) I also think it is getting expensive to watch RL. Even at Warrington we have seen an 64% price increase for adult standing since 2003. (£11 -> £18)

4) Opposition kicking the ball dead should result in 40m restart.

Not a gripe but, to pass a boring afternoon, you could expand on the "ex nailing a player" if it's not too raw.

month after we had split and it was me who originally broke us up so i wasn't bothered, not naming names like. We actually talk and she might look on here, she used to watch football but i full on converted her to RL, she still goes watching and even takes clients/colleagues.
