There won't be 14 teams in SL , unless they disband CH also . The next structure has to see SL1 and SL2 all running fulltime with 10 in each. That's the way forward.

Create whatever you want on that structure,because that's were it will end up. Hopefully sooner than later as 14 in SL will see more than just L1 being disbanded.

What ever system they introduce then so be it, we have to adapt, I don't think for 1 minute that there will be a 15 team S.L.

I was merely explaining to mooka that it would be impossible to give every team (2) weeks rest in a season with 28 games.

The powers that be will do what they do and we as fans will adapt.

Yorkshire cup / Lancashire cup, BBC floodlit trophy, Regal / JPS trophy, Lancashire v Yorkshire all gone.

Countless rule changes, licensing/ franchises, French clubs and now a North American club.

But yet we are still here week in week out.

Probably missed something

You missed nothing, its just some think these ventures of SL with 14 in it will run on Scotch mist. CH along with L1 have 3 years to either go with whats being offered or go alone. Their choice. I don't take into account someones thoughts written in the RL weekly rag as gospel.

Others should do the same, the debate should be about 14 in SL, yet the debate turns into what format should be run in SL using 14 teams which the sport can't cater for without funding from the lower tiers being taken back.

Thats the point, not whether we should have a bye. No club will survive without funding, but if your happy to go with 14 in SL for 3 years, there won't be many clubs or fans adapting to that scenario below SL.

That is wrong, the season would not end on Week 28, it would finish in Week 30!!!!!!!

When you need a set of fixtures for 15 teams, you work them out for 16. Team 16 is the bye!!!!! A season is 30 weeks giving 28 games and 2 byes for each team

Wow don't believe this!

In our league there are 12 so minus summer bash and super 8's, we play 22 matches.

You don't play yourself

15 teams, they will play 14 at home and 14 away - 28 games

Not 30

(See my working out) if you can show I am wrong, I will willingly bow down to your knowledge.

Anyway it ain't going to happen so it's not worth the hassle

Yes everyone plays 28 games but the season is 30 weeks.

Correct..

Week1. 1v2 3v15 4v14 5v13 6v12 7v11 8v10 9 bye
Week2 1v3 4v15 5v14 6v13 7v12 8v11 9v10 2 bye

Do week 29 & 30

Seasons over so the 2 teams getting a rest when there are no games anyway

Unless Sky want to televise it, the day before!

LOL.......very good

You can't as the current Sky deal only covers 12 teams. Two more in SL means how many more fixtures not being shown?

There will be 28 games per team over 30 rounds, but I wasn't talking rounds I was saying games, so in essense we are both correct in what we are saying.

If you play the first game you get 6 months off





my maths isn't wrong

Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you actually stupid?

Week 29 is the reverse of 14
Week 30 is the reverse of 15

With 28 games

There is no week 29 or 30

How on earth can there be week 29 / 30

Your clutching at straws now

Its simple maths, for 15 teams to get 2 weeks off there has to be 30 games.

It's a mathematical impossibility

Still you believe what you want

It's boring me now

Just seen this

If you are talking being stupid - then you are well there, you do the fixtures and prove me wrong.

Obtuse / stupid

Way to go, always thought you were one of the decent ones on here

If you are playing 28 games in 28 weeks, when do you get your week off?
Team 1 will have week1 and week 16 off.
Team 2 will have week 2 and 17 off
3 will be 3 and 18
4 will be 4 and 19

Team 15 will have week 15 and 30 off.

Got it yet?

There will be no games week 29 & 30 how do you get a week off if there are no games.

Weeks 1 to 28 are game days

29 & 30 - no games, so how does team 15 get week 30 off when there is NO game

Is this including matches postponed due to air traffic control and bad weather.

Like people say, it wont happen its just what I think would be best for the game. Lets agree to disagree.

I defiantly think the game could sustain a 14 / 16 team Super League, but the higher teams are so greedy!

And with Leeds now falling into that bottom four, they’ll get even more greedier.

Either one but not both.
