Big fan of the 2 12s splitting into the Super 8s (I like everything even more now it's all got a proper name), allowing clubs to progress and grow steadily instead of a massive step up in one year. Slightly disappointed though they changed their mind about giving all 4 Championship teams the extra home game; the Championship teams are in the Qualifiers for winning, the Super League teams are there for losing, the winners should get the advantage. No parachute payments is excellent, they'd completely defy the point of the whole thing, giving relegated clubs too much of an advantage. Glad Championship 1 is now League 1, Championship & Championship 1 was just confusing; shame it's regional though, but suppose it's a long way from Hemel to Cumbria so can see why they've done it. Really like the idea of pitting the National Conference League & Challenge Trophy winners up against League 1, might cause an upset.

Downsides are looks like Dual Code (in one form or another is staying), needs to be scrapped in my opinion especially as you've got Championship Clubs playing against Super League clubs. I also really hope the bonus point gets scrapped, bit of a silly gimmick that rewards losers and confuses potential new fans.

All in all it's good news though, a very exciting time to be a Rugby League fan.

I thought about it then couldn't be bothered☺

Can't Grasp how the super 8s work regarding how to play the seven games. I understand that top 2 out of the top 4
of the championship and 9th and 10th from superleague play 4 home games in the super 8s, but just don't get how the seven games are played, as it states that it's on a league basis. Can anyone elaborate and explain. Thanks

For RFL substitute CONFUSION???
Can't they make anything simple?

I am sure they will publish who plays who at least league position wise anyway just as soon as their heads stop hurting. However the 4 home game solution seems reasonably thought out

One thing which isn't in there is Championship overseas quota will be 5.....up from the current 1

Agreed , It's the 3 away games that are confusing.

I think the whole thing looks great, looking forward to next season and have to keep reminding myself there's still 6 games left to go of this one yet! Slightly disappointed they changed their mind about giving all 4 Championship clubs the extra home game, Championship Clubs are in there because they've been winning Super League ones because they're loosing, winners should get the advantage.

Thats how I thought it was meant to be. Hopefully it wont effect us.
