The RFU Super 10 concept

What a great concept!! I think it's a master stroke, and everyone seems to be missing the point!! Take a step back and think about it, we have had a very poor November, we nearly achieved our worst losing streak of all time, so English rugby is not at it's peak it's safe to say!!
So why not kill it off?? Put it out of it's misery??
Wipe out clubs with years of success, years of tradition and great support, like Leicester and Gloucester, just rub them out and kill them off. Chop them out of the league that will be financed, and force them to play in the lower division with no chance of promotion!!!Then set up clubs in areas that it has never been popular, where it has never generated any support, and you can guarantee that the game dies!
Bloody brilliant!!
I have to say though that they could have done it with more imagination, they could have made it more of a challenge!
Why not set up a club in Liverpool, right next to Anfield?? That would have taken off!! Or put one next to Old Trafford? It's not a great stadium, and I am sure once the season ticket holders at Old Trafford caught a glimpse of the game, the stadium of dreams would have been a ghost town! You see that would have been a challenge! That would have given it a chance, very slim I agree, but a chance all the same!!
Or something completely different. I mean it's not that hard to kill off a game like rugby, and wiping off 8 of the best clubs is not exactly creative, or interesting is it? It's just a little predictable and ultimately boring!
Why not just set up some new clubs, in areas such as Plymouth and Manchester, and play a completely different game??!! If you want to kill the game off, as they patently do, then at least make it amusing and memorable? I mean can't they do anything right??!!!
