You say these extra weeks but the ESL won't move. So just results in pre season starting later

And maybe that`s where taking a stake, or outright buying it, the European game comes in.

maybe so but IF Internationals are to become more valuable England need to be part of it and you can't have guys like Lachlan Lam unavailable

Theres talk at the moment of reducing fixtures in SL to avoid the loop fixtures. Will be a hard sell to clubs as most of their revenue comes from gameday. Problem over there is the challenge cup extends the season. I guess the only option if they want to be in the Int calendar is them starting the season earlier. Though RL in Jan and Feb is no fun!

They currently play 27 games a season + CC. getting it down to 24 and starting a bit earlier might be possible if the Int spin off is seen as valuable enough for clubs.

So player fatigue is worse in super league than nrl

Wonder how many games soccer players in the premier league play together with the fa cup and European comps

They sometimes play two games a week

Its a lot, I think the avg is 58 games a year but could in theory be 74 if they won every cup!
38 EPL, eight FA Cup, six League Cup, 22 Europe comps

the physical toll on their bodies would be vastly different to league though.
