Must admit, i'd forgotten MM was an additional weekend, but it's still very manageable. Make MM a weekly round, don't schedule local derbies so you don't hit the nominated "home" side with a big loss of home revenue. Allow the nominated home club to keep a % of the ticket price of tickets they sell (not sure if the RFL control this). With no outgoings, the majority of this % would be profit. half the league then have 1 less home game than the others, but without a complete loss. alternate the home side each year so to keep it fair. Not clean, but not impossible if we wanted it. I remember a few years ago we had a similar situation when we had a 12 team league yet played i think 27 games per year. It also gives the MM a pinnacle game and IMO increases the status of the WCC.

Must be by his own "subjective" scale he measures it because the evidence on here says he's very much contrary to that!

PS Smokey, before you start, YAWN

of course the teams dont want to share, however if sky tell them to share . they will share.

at the moment the entire game of professional rugby league is sitting up and begging.

Your opinion on tonights game no doubt

ur not wrong mate,they all bow to the mighty god "sky"

My opinion on tonights game is fairly meh. I have no real issue with it, dont hate it, doesnt excite me. The fact it has replaced actual international competition however is ridiculous.

But yes, if they expected it to work straight away and be in front of a packed house they would be fools, the concept would need time and effort to be a success.
