its somewhat ironic that thought the MPG seems to be hated (i would say feared) by quite a few fans it is becoming an event that gives the game a wider audience and profile, things that the game is always banging on about wanting, especially when it provides drama like we had this season. we get the kind of one off drama that the media focus on, hence the greater publicity for the game. in a way its car crash TV and rightly or wrongly that is what a lot of folk want

really? I didn't see much media or mention of it and it wasn't particularly well attended.

It's too nerve-wracking, I think, for the fans to enjoy. I avoided the MPG the year before for that very reason. I thought I'd just watch it on TV and give the cat a good kick at full-time.

MPG should go and the top 4 in the middle 8's are safe. I'd like to see a little more emphasis put on the LLS, maybe scrap it and call it something else with a trophy instead of the hubcap, with some financial reward for becoming 'League Champions'. Super 8's maybe could be the 'Premiership' with top starting on 7 points, moving down to 8th with 0 points. Maybe the first round should be very simple top 4 (home) against bottom 4 (away), so 1v8, 2v7 etc.. which would further reward the top 4, in theory giving them the best chance of increasing their points lead early in the competition, but with 8th going to 1st knowing that an upset could potentially put them just 1 win from 4th with 6 to play. Top 4 after the 7 rounds I think should stop as it is now. I think we have to stick with the concept, but maybe tweak it a little to keep the 'every minute matters' as achievable as possible, but still rewarding the top teams for being consistent through the season and finishing up the table. I'm sure we all have our own ideas as to how it might work a little better, this is just mine.

After the regular season the prize money will be distributed as to where you finish and the leaders will get a shield/trophy whichever,then top 4 play off in a mini league like this.... 1st plays 2nd 3rd & 4th at home. 2nd plays 1st away 3rd at home & 4th at home. 3rd plays 1st & 2nd away and 4th at home and 4th plays 1st, 2nd, & 3rd away then top 2 will be in the grand final.

5th 6th 7th & 8th will do the same and the top 2 of that mini league will play a curtain raiser before the grand final with a trophy going to the winners, and a small cash prize which would still not be more in total prize money of whoever finishes 4th in the regular season.

I rather like the middle 8s so i would leave that be.

Bad attendances. Bad tv ratings, low quality games mainly, predictable top 4-5. It was a poor idea gimmick from the start I don't know anybody or very few who liked the idea. We should have stuck to the franchise system fot at least 10 years. need to go back to 12 franchise's or if we must have P&r 1 up 1 down

Agreed

If the Champions are the GF winners, they ought to get rid of the LSS altogether, after all, it's only a consolation prize (just in case the "top" team doesn't win the GF.)

Conversely, crown the champions after 23 rounds and then have a separate competition, this might be like going back to the 80's when we had the premiership for the top 8 clubs in the old First Division

Ultimately there is no easy way to have a truly competitive top 8 competition unless you start the 8 teams on zero and its strange that a club can miss out on the top 8 on points difference and theoretically get relegated - I know it hasn't happened yet but, it's possible that this may happen in future

The super 8's should involve all of the top 8 after 30 rounds.

Just go back to the old 'Premiership' style competition

1v8
2v7 etc etc

I love the MPG. Great drama both years. Why would anyone want to get rid of it?!

Yep , sometimes you have to wonder why these people actually watch any sport , for me it's about emotion , and this creates emotion

Because it causes huge instability, is competitively unfair, and makes the game look tesco value brand cheap all that for next to no publicity, and a relatively small attendance.

It should only come into play when both teams are on equal points, Hull KR won more games and had better attack/defence points than Salford.
If Hull KR was 4 points better than Salford then the concept is a total farce because the results of the the qualifying 8's would have been negated..

That is a good call but, "we" do like a gimmick in RL.

Come back and give us your opinion on it when your teams involved aye. Good for you Hull are having a purple patch but it won't always be that way and when you battle all season to gain a creditable ninth spot only narrowly missing 5th or 6th spot only to be plunged into a relegation battle I do hope you enjoy the drama. I'm certain both myself and many thousands of HKR fans will.

Anyways during the close season why don't you quench your blood lust with a bit of badger baiting or whatever cruelty you especially enjoy. Drama is a CCup semi final win or a last gasp try to win the cup against the odds it's not the proposed demise of your club and all the hard work and jobs that go with it
