Just looking at the way the middle 8's will work fixture wise and basically this is what fixtures we would get

1st in Championship
4 home games (3 v Championship Teams and 1 Super League Team)
3 away games (3 Super League Sides)

2nd in Championship
4 home games (3 v Super League Teams and 1 Championship Team)
3 away games (1 Super League Team and 2 Championship Teams)

I would rather play 3 Super League teams at home as i think we would have a better chance of beating them and also the gates would be far higher and would be significantly more income for the club!

Thoughts?

Its an interesting debate for sure. Both have their pros and cons. My vote would be top spot as we have to be confident then of getting the 8 points at home and then one win away from home would almost certainly guarantee you top 3 and SL.

Personally i think we will get 12 or 14 points either way !

Would rather finish top, if that gives us home games against 2nd and 3rd in the Championship. Gives us a better chance of finishing top 5.

Also. If a Super League team gets relegated in this system, then they really do deserve to be relegated!

Yep, Finishing top seems to be the best option. We can do it. BELEIGHVE.

After the super 8s has finished, the teams who finish 4th and 5th play off for the Million pound game which is
meant to be worth a million quid and will be the 4th team who will be promoted to superleague.

Think you always have to go for 1st, just because to win promotion you've got to have that winning mentality. Not sure which is better home against championship or super league. If you win all 4 home gains you're most of the way there & you’re most likely to beat the other Championship clubs. Still not sure it makes a massive difference. How do gates work though, would think with it only being 1 fixture it'd be a spit gate like a playoff game.

Don't see why. You have earned the right for the extra home fixture and technically it is a middle 8 league game.
