A ten team league is crazy. Uneven fixture lists and with play offs and the Cup potentially playing some teams four or five times a season. We have uneven fixtures now, 10 teams playing each other 3 times is fairer than now where a team could get their loop games v cas, hudds and Salford, and another could have loop fixtures v rovers, Wigan and Leigh say. Expanding to 14 isnt the answer either, especially if you take the french teams out, there just isn't the player pool to sustain it. The current loop fixtures are based on league placings the previous season, it's not done randomly. But it's not fair currently is it teams don't play each other the same number of times, any team that plays Salford three times this year has an advantage over a team that plays Wigan three times this year No one knew that would be the case when the fixture list was drawn up though? Besides, couldn’t that still happen in a 10 team league? Not if you play each other 3 times? It'll be uneven because with nine loop fixtures some teams with have fourteen home games and thirteen away games and some with have it the other way around. At least with the present system all team play thirteen home and thirteen away (plus Magic). |

I wouldn't be surprised to see a franchise in North America again as he mentioned in that interview .
You can see where they are going with this as we would able to sell round the clock live fixtures from different parts of the world .
Im more onboard after watching Richo , Hope the clubs grasp it quick.

Its obvious they want a quick decision, as he mentions that all the TV deals are up for renewal at the same time. Imagine, with NRL's massive influence, on getting the sport on Netflix. It would be a game changer. However, what would happen with the Challenge Cup? 10 teams in NRL Europe, then the rest in kind of a reserve competition - would the cup be redundant?

I thinks Richardson is talking a lot of sense. It's a great vision and aside from the egos of some of the British club owners, there's not much I can see that should get in the way or not to like about it. Everything else has failed so what's to lose?
