One central school of excellence taking the best 50 14-18 yr olds from all clubs with the best coaches at the helm. Also with education at the centre, ie. If you don't pass exams you get kicked out.

Club trained youth players have only 50% of there wage on the cap as long as they stay at that club.

So you're basically saying fantastic young rugby players would be booted out your academy if they're below par academically? Suddenly the RFL seem uber competent.

They go back to there own academy. For me education is key, it's not a brilliantly paid career and the best should be given options for after RL, each club should follow similar guidelines IMO, would also go a long way to stopping the negative side to RL, drink, drugs and gambling addictions.

Maybe 3 regional academies. have all the scouts working directly for the RL, players signed to the academies getting the best coaching. have a draft system like the NFL worst team getting 1st pick.

Split the league into West and East

playoffs top 3 from each side.

get tag rugby on all the school syllabuses GCSE P.E.

I think there are too many tries scored from kicks these days, and these tries tend to be far less exciting than ones scored with the ball in hand. I would therefore like to see tries scored from kicks worth less points than those scored with ball in hand.

maybe no conversion attempt if the try is scored from a kick?

By that logic does Bosc's try mean less because he kicked it twice on the way to scoring?

A 4 team tounament comprising Lancashire, Yorkshire, Wales and France.

This could be a way to create competitive Lancs/Yorks matches that have been mentioned several times in this thread, and France/Wales aren't outclassed by England.

I'm going to write a letter to the RFL about this freeview channel. I'd appreciate if others could help be fine tune it before I set it down and send it.

get onto Gutterfax, he like writing letters

He's off to New Zealand this week. Think he might have other things on his plate

finding a good kebab house ?

Overhaul of the disciplinary process to ensure consistency of application.

I just want to see someone release a live chicken onto the field during the SL Grand Final.

How about referees applying the rules we already have!

And stop shouting MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

Says it all...



Bring back the non internet days,when only certain voices where respected....

Like they do in the NFL. That would work but would teams be willing be to pay good money to train and bring players on to lose them to another team? The RFL would have to be prepared to fund these colleges / academies. I like the idea though.

Ok I wasnt fully sure of how the law works on these kind of things.

Could the RFL can still say that only 3 are allowed to be included in the weekly squad though? They're not restricting them working as they will still be getting paid. Again im not sure how it works so apologies if it sounds daft.

I meant to quote the whole thing but couldn't be bothered.
WHAT a cracking idea.. I'd have it on 24/7

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?
