Who would your ten be?

If Super League was reduced to 10 clubs.....

How to you replace the income from lost attendances, sponsorship and advertising?

That wasn't the question

10 teams

18 games home and away

9 games neutral venues spread the SL gospel

27 game season.

10 most solvent clubs playing in modern(ish) stadia

It would be the ten who finish in the Top 10 next season after the bottom 4 have been relegated.

Wigan
Warrington
St. Helens
Huddersfield
Catalans
Leeds
Hull
Castleford
London
Widnes

A London club is vital for Sponsorship and Media reasons, and have laid the foundations for a strong future.

3 Tiers below with 10 teams each, P&R can be introduced between them, and with the SL as well as long as basic requirements are met regarding finances, stadia and player development.

Play each team 3 times?

Wigan
London
Saints
Hull
Bradford
Warrington
Hull KR
Leeds
Catalans
Huddersfield

9 of the 10 teams capable of 10k+ attendances 6 of the 10 will already be averaging over that by next year.

Wakefield
Castleford
Featherstone
Leeds
Hunslet
Bradford
Halifax
Keighley
Dewsbury
Batley

Huddersfield as first reserve.

edinburgh
newcastle
leeds
manchester
sheffield
birmingham
london
cardiff
dublin
paris

If there was a 10 team Super League Clubs shouldn't have any overseas players what so ever in their squads.

Don't get that arguement. So if a big name player like Benji Marshall or Billy Slater wanted to come and play for, say Wiggin, they couldn't? Can't see what good that does the competition.

There is no chance what so ever of Benji or Billy playing in Super League for many years, if at all. We have a situation now in Super League where players who haven't played a single game in the NRL can come and play Super League straight away like Ryan Tongia did this past weekend for Wakey. A vast majority of imports bring nothing to the British game, surely a better long term bet would be to give British talent a chance, which some clubs seem very reluctant to do always looking for the easy option of importing an overseas player, and then looking to see if they can get him off the overseas quota stopping the progress of British talent.

OK so why not change the rules so players have to have played a certain number of NRL games or rep games or whatever. I don't see the point of effectively banning players like Jamie Lyon, Greg Bird or Danny Buderus from coming over here and enhancing the comp

The whole reducing to 10 teams idea is ludicrous, look at the SPL.

Until we have enough players to fill those elite clubs, 10 clubs is nowhere near as ludicrous as 14 clubs.

just dump the grade c clubs but keep quins ;p

I didn't disagree with reducing the number of overseas players, just don't see the benefit in stopping them altogether.

Hudds 1895- I agree some of the imports are rubbish. Kauparatsis(sp) at Quins rubbish, 2 second rowers we had last year at Quins rubbish. A few years ago we brought some prop in who was injured an never played. Its crazy

Why not just have a 4 team Super League with Wigan, Warrington, Saints and Leeds playing each other 8 times a season. I did suggest this several seasons ago although the 4 then were Saints, Leeds, Hull and Bradford. Lucky for Warrington that it never happened as they were crap at that time. Suppose teams outside the proposed 10 would be similarly unlucky now.

Why? We've been poor this season for well documented reasons - we've never been perennial whipping boys like Huddersfield back with P+R with 12 teams. There's no team in Superleague who gets slaughtered every week normally.

I think it's incredibly arrogant to even suggest kicking 4 teams out of the league, why not just have Saints, Warrington, Leeds and Wigan in the league then you can all sit round patting each other on the back at what a talented league you have.

As I said before, Ludicrous.

Why are you equating a 10 team league with a 4 team league?

Because its called Super League

That makes as much sense as you do normally. Absolutely none.

The assumption is there are only 4 genuine ' Super ' clubs for Super league , but you knew exactly what I meant , didn't you

I honestly didn’t, I don’t know why anyone thought that point would be relevent. As such i didnt assume they would. It’s a straw man which idiots and morons hide behind.

It would take somebody of truly limited intelligence to make the argument that changing the league from 14 clubs to 10 clubs is the same, or even in anyway related to changing the league from 14 clubs to 4.
