I want to see what everyones favorite bunch of Super League Clubs you'd have in your perfect League. You can throw up to 5 teams out, and introduce any number of new teams, and you can introduce some special events/rule changes/play off changes you want as well.

1 - Saints RL (New ground)

2 - Warrington Wolves

3 - Leeds Rhinos

4 - Catalans Dragons

5 - Toulouse Vikings

6 - Hull FC

7 - Hull KR

8 - Wrexham Crusaders

9 - Huddersfield Giants

10 - Trafford Reds (New ground)

11 - Bradford Bulls

12 - Paris RL (Rich RU owners rivaling Warrington for salary cap overspend rumours)



Perfect.

Bradford, Castleford, Crusaders, Catalans, Halifax, Harlequins, Huddersfield, Hull, Hull KR, Leeds, Salford, Saints, Wakefield, Warrington, Widnes, Wigan.



Elongated to a 16-team competition.

If we were to expand the competition then we would have to play each team once, and half the teams twice similar to the NRL. 30 games plus Challenge Cup and play offs could be too much for the players, plus we would have to start the season in December! I don't know how it works in the NRL, but if your playing one team once one year then you play them twice the next and vice versa.

In no particular order, a sixteen team Super League comprising of:



Warrington

St Helens

Wigan

Widnes

Crusaders

Catalan

Harlequins

Leeds

Bradford

Hull FC

Toulouse

Leigh

Halifax

Huddersfield

South Wales

London Skolars



(Big surprise, I'm a fan of expansion. And we can all dream, right?)



24 regular season games, top four knock out play off, five rounds of Challenge Cup = 31 games max per domestic season. Season is over by mid-September and everybody looks forward to us still getting tonked by the Aussies.

1. Leeds Rhinos

2. St Helens

3. Huddersfield Giants

4. Hull KR

5. Wigan Warriors

6. Catalans Dragons

7. Bradford Bulls

8. Warrington Wolves

9. London Broncos

10. Hull FC

11. Trafford Reds

12. Crusaders

13. Halifax Blue Sox (Bring it Back!)

14. Leigh Centurions

15. Widnes Vikings

16. Sheffield Eagles

17. Gateshed Thunder

18. Toulouse Olympique



I'd love to see the Summer Weekend Round, played on the First Weekend of Summer Holidays, where there would be several derbies played from Thursday to Sunday, all televised. Example;



[uThursday[/u

Leeds vs Bradford 16:00

Huddersfield vs Halifax 20:00



[uFriday[/u

Hull vs Hull KR 13:00

St Helens vs Wigan 15:00

Warrington vs Widnes 18:00

Trafford Reds vs Leigh Centurions 20:00



[uSaturday[/u

Catalans Dragons vs Toulouse Olympique 15:00

London Broncos vs Crusaders 18:00

Gateshead Thunder vs Sheffield Eagles 20:00



I'd also have you playing these teams 3 times, and the 8 teams the futhest away from you only once, and 4 of these would be at home, 4 away. I'd have the play-offs like the NRL and AFL do them





edit: I'd also introduce the Bonus Point System.

This thread really makes me laugh

As a traditionalist, I would like to see Broughton and Ebbw Vale brought back into it, possibly Bramley and get rid of Quins, Crusaders and Catalans. All pre-match entertainment scrapped (unless its Ferret legging or a brass band), three points for a try and tours to Australia brought back (travel by ship, of course).

No Hull FC ?

Were there we just moved back up to gateshead!
