No there isn't. Even in a standard league format you could still easily end up with a single game that decides the fate of two clubs - we've had them before and the last one wasn't all that long ago. Any such game would still be hyped up and would probably be dubbed 'the million pound game' by the media even without the 'formal' title.

Oh - and Rovers did finish bottom of the new League structure. They did so by virtue of losing yesterday's game. The season didn't end last week.

You mean like the Million Pound Match between Cas & Wakey in 2006?!?

I would keep the structure as it is, but then have the bottom club in SL relegated, the top club in the Championship promoted and a play off game between 11th in SL and 2nd in the Championship, then if the SL loses they can have no excuse for losing to a Championship team.

This is exactly what I would have in terms of relegation. It is similar to the Scottish football system I believe.

Yes we should follow Scottish football, the pinnacle of sport.

I don't like it because of the Scottish football link, they just happen to use the system I like.

We were in Super League for ten years. We spent a total of one week at the bottom of Super League in ten years. This year, we finished above Huddersfield in the regular season and above Salford in the eight's.

Within this system, we have been relegated, we knew the rules, but I defy anyone to justify that we've got the correct system in place as a sport.

I've seen teams in football only just sneak into a playoff spot at the last minute. Teams only fall into the bottom 3 on the final day and teams win Champions League titles without actually finishing their league as Champions (Liverpool finished 4th and 30 points behind the Champions to qualify for the CHAMPIONS League in 2005 they won)

It's not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than relegating a team who have come bottom of the elite comp and promoting a team who have been playing against part timers and teams with a much smaller salary budget. At least with the current system you have to justify your place over 7 games.

In 2006, Cas didn't finish last and were relegated (to make way for Catalan) - everyone knows the rules at the start of the year.

I was against the new structure right from the start and I'd prefer we had something else. But the whining about massive unfairness and won't somebody think of the poor players is, frankly, pathetic. It's sport. Sport isn't fair. The system we have is unnecessarily gimmicky but no more inherently unfair than any other. And the RL players whining about livelihoods and mental health maybe ought to take a look at what happens to ordinary hard-working families every day of the week.
