The next logical step to "create space" is to rduce the number of players - to 13 perhaps?
Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Best thing they could bring in is a shot clock to limit the interminable stoppages every two minutes
I see Stuart Barnes is having a hissy fit about the suggestion. ‘ League gimmick is just a dumbing down’
Superiority complex from Ra Ra boys yet again!
Many years ago Yawnion spent a lot of money on an investigation/survey to look at making it more attractive to watch, it actually came up with this suggestion among a few other's, i am led to believe some Hooray Henry's had heart attacks and a lot of Gin & Tonics were spilt.
Full on arrogant Union buffoon. I remember when England RU played at Huddersfield and at one point the commentator mentioned that Huddersfield Giants played RL there, he replied “I wonder how many fans they get here, not very many I expect”.
The time I met him he was with Tony Swift whom I had met before when playing against Swansea. Swift was full of admiration for RL and said that Barnes was considered a pompous prick among his team mates. There were a few of them on a golfing holiday and Swift reckoned Barnes was just along as a hanger-on.
