rlThe clubs were unanimous in their view that Super League should become a 12-team competition from 2015 and that there should be meaningful movement between Super League and the Championshipsrl

that doesn't state that all were in favour of the split in to 3 leagues of 8 though, just that all clubs supported a 12 team league with promotion and relegation.

It's not complicated. It's just sh[ii[/ite. Utter, utter sh[ii[/ite.

but in the premier league they dont get 2/3rds through the season forget everything that has happened then start all over again. Whatever points Aston Villa earn in the PL are what they earn in the PL.

Under this structure you can earn 20 points in the 22 games, if you dont qualify for the 8, those wins are completely discarded

I noticed that nice little bit of twisting from the RFL.

Could someone who is more clued up on this than I am explain the finer points of the system? ie, what is the format after the split.

Im starting to love Marwan koukash just because of his openness. Somebody asked on twitter has nigel wood managed pass his stupid idea, his reply "he has". haha

I don’t think its twisting or spin, im pretty confident that it was always going to be announced as unanimous. They would likely have taken the vote that whatever the outcome, it gets announced as unanimous.

Don't let William eve know you don't know the full system. By the way it hasn't be ratified as of yet they said later this month.

It won't stay a secrete for long and surely the RFL know that.

Not quite sure why people are getting their knickers in a twist over season tickets. The new system will be no different to now where you get a season ticket for the regular season and then must buy tickets for the playoffs.

In this case you'll get a season ticket for the regular season (presumably 23 rounds) and so 12 home games. Then for the split into 3 groups of 8 you'll have to pay for those games on top. Like the current playoffs.

As for the argument it makes the regular season meaningless, again no different to the current playoffs or the playoffs for promotion between the leagues. Points aren't carried over from the regular season into the playoffs currently.

Personally I'd rather we'd stuck with licensing (but done properly) for another 10+ years at least. And if we were going to bring back P&R I'd have just gone back to straight P&R. But the arguments about season tickets etc are just silly.

Well all I can say is the bottom few teams in Super League better start to perform on the field otherwise they WILL be playing the likes of Leigh, Featherstone & Halifax and after 22 rounds of getting pasted it WILL be their own fault!

I've still got a few doubt about it but we'll just all have to see how it goes.

Knowing the RFL they'll probably change the format again by 2020 anyway (going on a six year average).

An I right in thinking after the split there's "a round robin" between the 8. Then a play-off system for a GF. Or are these details to be confirmed? If it is a round robin how do they expect families to pay £20 each 7 weeks in a row and then GF tickets? Madness.

I'm sure they would relish a play off against part time teams as opposed to finishing bottom and instant relegation. It's sort of like a second chance for been crap.
