A few ideas of my own inspired by yours:

I like this a lot, there's no point having meaningless games. It could kick off on Boxing Day and be introduced to terrestrial viewers as '[iA Christmas present from the Rugby Football League[/i'. In the week after, when many people are off work, there should be an attempt to schedule one match per day.

People in the grounds should be given really good prices, such as a pound to get in or all children free when they are with an adult and the adult gets in free themselves if they bring x children.

I'm not sure about this one but as it's a pre-season competition, the game could have 30 minute halves. It means crowds not getting quite so cold and could be more convenient for TV audiences who have Christmas things going on. Coaches might like it too - less wear and tear on players.

Clubs coaches might want to tailor their pre-season to suit their team's build up so perhaps some kind of a merit/percentage league could be designed rather than a knock-out cup format. The only requirement would be that if a team makes the top 2 then they have play in the final.

Not that I think it would cost much more having it run around the clock, but I think that might be overdoing it a bit.
Maybe from 4pm to 11pm during the week and 9am till midnight at weekends.

Just a thought. We'd have to be careful that Sky don't think we are treading on their toes otherwise lips goodbye to the funding unless we give free adverts to Sky they might put their foot down

As I said, that is something that would have to be included in contract negotiations.

Free adverts for RL related programming on Sky and BBC. Should compliment their programming then.

Obviously they wouldn't be able to show live games, but surely they could do what they do for football and have pundits in a studio analysing games if there's more than one on, with the score coming in at the bottom on a vidiprinter?
