I like the new structure. Too many people have rubbished it out of hand without trying to understand it. It really is simple. 2 divisions of 12. At end of season, top 8 play each other once to be crowned champions; bottom 4 and top 4 from Championship play each other once - top 4 will play in SL the following season; bottom 8 play each other once, possibly to see who stays in Championship. Every game will mean something, every point will be important.

How is it complicated to have a season of 2 x 12 divisions with and end of season play off?

top 8 play each other once? is it not top 4. so no grand final and no play offs anymore if the top 8 play each other once?

can see some real lop sided scores between the bottom 4 of the 12 and top for of the other 12... could see Hull Fc Vs dewsbury... etc crowds going to go down even further!

anyway will get on with it when it arrives lets just hope we dont finish in the bottom 2 this season

The Superleague play offs are 8 teams playing in a round robin fixture with the higher placed 4 teams having the extra home game. Similarly the bottom 8 in the Championship will play off for the Championship Shield. Points from the 23 round league season will carry over into these play offs.

The Promotion play offs wont have points carried forward and won't have a semi final and final but do feature a play off between 4th and 5th for the final Superleague place next season.

The odd thing is this format was used for 15 years in Swiss soccer and was abandoned because crowds fell, sponsors turned away and TV revenues went down. Something the RFL either seem unaware of or uncaring about.

the bottom 4 from superlague and top 4 from championship play each other once and the four highest clubs go back into superleague the next season.

However the top 8 in Superleague play in the play offs the same way as now (the way it is done may be slightly different) but the concept is still the same and it will still lead to a grand final.

I just dont understand it, so will just take each game as it comes ....

and your already a rugby league fan, great way this is to bring in the new fans!

like you though will just wait till it happens and hope it works

interesting comments about it being used in swiss soccer and failing badly
