The first thing the RFL could do is simply revert back to a top 6. that would be one step closer to sanity.

Its simply means if you finish top you have to lose 2 home games to not make the GF, which is a lot more unlikely than losing 1 home game. It immediatley gives advantage back to the team finishing top and give competition back to the regular season.

That's the problem. There is nothing wrong with having a playoff system to decide the Champions, what is wrong is having a regular season format that matters little when the playoffs roll around. Each and every regular season game should have the same intensity of the playoffs because one slip up and one drop of position in the league and you're GF chances go down the swanny.

And as soon as your chances of making the 6 disappear you give up trying? Ergo.

Try harder then.

Don't blame the good teams for your own teams lack of ambition or self respect

Quite. It should make no difference what end of season system there is if you have self respect.

Exactly. I'm sick of the RFL and fans using that as an excuse for a top 8 or for having relegation or what ever other stupid notion they cock up. If you aren't good enough. Tough. If you want to BE good enough then do something about it. Go out and get sponsorship from big names instead of "Fred and Wilma's Sandwich Bar" and "Jim's Skips".

RL will stay in the dark ages and may even die completely because half the people in the game have absolutely no ambition and don't possess the balls to tell the little clubs to shape up.

Magners have sponsored a load of teams this season and would be my option to sponsor the league. Change the design of a Magners box to one for each individual team like the Stobart lorries and after the adverts on TV have something that says 'Sponsors of Super League' on the screen and really push the thing. They obviously have an interest in the game. Heinz are the same, but don't just restrict it to tins of Big Soup. Stick the SL logo on bottles of Ketchup and baby food.

We'll end up with some soup kitchen in Wakefield, a bloke from Castleford and an hairdresser in Batley sticking their names on the only bit of spare shirt available and making about £3.20.

Winner of the league are Champions and gets the SL Trophy, Challenge Cup moved back to how it was, 12 team SL with each team playing home and away and no Magic Weekend, end of the league to coicide with the NRL to have a proper World Club Challenge between top 3 teams from each then proper Ashes Tours, NZ Tours and World Cups every 4 years.

Agree with this but back to GB for the tours!
