Would that incorporate a system of the best 4 (say) from
each area qualify for the national tour?
Allowing "lesser" teams to poach the experienced players
would obviously be great during the first half of the
season. For instance there's been talk of a team in Reading
starting but people have been reluctant to leave their
established teams for a start-up, understandably, although
the new team is closer to home (no criticism meant to be
levelled at any Reading player, was just an example)
However, if you're allowing teams to seperate and rejoin
between each half of the season would there be a case of
top four get to re-enter without qualifying? And what would
happen to the teams which benefited from those big teams'
players being free and then lost them for the second half
of the season?
Would the second half be the point for Chris' A and B
tours? E.g. Top 4 get to play in tour A and next four get
Tour B. This could leave Tour B at risk of inconsistent
attendance, but is it a risk worth taking?
Sounds like a very promising idea, for my money if the
above (and a few other points without doubt) are sorted
could well be a great idea.
