It is new, so you have to see how it goes. But 3rd season in and I don't think it works, and also isn't really fair.
The RFL should at least stick to the league format of deciding the qualifiers to stay up or go up, instead of the nonsense of MPG playoff. Top 4 SL, bottom 4 championship.
My preference would be bottom of SL play top of Championship in 2 legged playoff. Or at least one off game at neutral ground.
Also if Cats beat Widnes I just can't see how we will beat Widnes.

Didn't hear anybody whinging on here last year, and if it was top 4 SL bottom 4 champ we'd be stuffed now |

We beat London by 30pts, we finish 4th. 
We all know rules last and this season. I am suggesting for going forward. |

I still think it's a great format and brings excitement and extra, much needed revenue to the clubs.

Well, if Widnes lost by 15 and we won by 15, we'd have them at home.
A more realistic option would be for Widnes and us just to win. Then it would be Cats at home, and I'd rather that was the scenario.

Utter bollox, it gives ALL 4 championship sides hope, the team finishing 5th still have an interest, and the media have REALLY got behind it in the last 3 years!
Still, if you want to back to licenses, a "closed shop" and players just going through the motions..........  |

Like the NRL. Whereby they can focus their efforts at the on-field product, as opposed to working from a scarcity mindset of what may happen at the end of the year -- in one game. Nah, couldn't possibly work. Tony Smith may have a point though.

Never mentioned licences.
I think I must be in minority about the league splitting up for qualifiers and super 8's.
I just think its overly complicated. Plus having fought our way to SL we are now in a half way house league of being outside SL.
