After what the RFL have announced today, me and a large amount of fans have had enough of the way the our loved sport is run. we need to stop them from killing the sport and changing it every 3 years. There is no way having 2 league of 12 playing 23 games each and then splitting into 3 leagues of 8 will make the sport bigger and better, it will make players sign 1 year deals and move to the NRL. teams will just stop playing once they no they cant drop out the top 8.

The new set up should be 12 teams, with relegation every season, with top 6 play offs the last proper competitive season with 2009, which hadn't been messed around with!

Crowds have started to drop there has been no main sponsor for the last 2 seasons and the season before that the sponsor gave no money to sponsor the league. we need a new long term sponsor who will back the league we need the sport to be stable and not changing every other year!

We need to get as many people to sign this as possible and it to be handed to the RFL and clubs to show the fans will no stand by and watch the sport be wrecked!!!

Not a chance in hell this will work and we're going to see out game wrecked and become the amateur game it used to be. Simple straight forward 12 team league, 2 up 2 down and if you have to have playoffs, 1st v 2nd for place in the final with loser joining 3rd to 5th to play off for the other place. Nice and straightforward.

The proposals are crazy; they do not address the fundamental issues in the game, which are governance (the RFL and club chairman must be held accountable for poor decision making e.g. Stobart, licensing, club call etc) and increasing participation levels. There is not the player pool or finance available to sustain 13 UK-based professional sides so increasing those numbers is simply insane. I love this sport; I support, play and coach but think the current path the game is being led down is wrong and will ultimately severly damage the game.
