I struggle to see the issues with the current structure - it's one with a lot of competitive games, and plenty of showpiece events that can attract audiences and TV coverage.

I definitely see an issue with changing the structure every few years. It makes the sport look amateurish. It annoys people within the game to an extent that it both stagnates growth and actively turns people away from the game.

Licensing, one up-one down P&R, and the current structure have all been tried. They all have their positives and negatives. We should just disagree and commit to what we have, and instead focus on growing the sport's audience - that doesn't happen without marketing effort. If the RFL hired a decent marketing director and put in place a long-term plan that would be a good start, at the moment I suspect they have no idea on what type of audience they want, let alone how they attract them to our game.

Why do we need to keep the teams at the bottom playing for something. Don't like this whole idea that every team needs something to play for through the whole year.

All sporting competitions has teams who end middle of the road. No idea why super league has to be different.

But the ones that people turn up in numbers to watch don't. Middle of the road in the Premiership is different to being out of the top 8 running half way through the season. £25 becomes a lot to pay for a match that isn't much more than a friendly.
