Can anyone tell me if you will still get something for annual winning the league? Akin to the current leaders shield?

The same thing I assume, not that it really matters to anyone but the winners

I like both of these ideas. Starting the Super 8 with the Magic weekend would add extra spice to the fixture and it would avoid the uneven number of home and away fixtures in the super 8 phase. If the qualifiers were included then it would add an extra game to the Magic weekend meaning 4 games each day. It would be great for the Championship clubs giving them a big day experience. It would add further incentive for the championship teams outside the top four to finish inside the top to qualify for the Magic weekend.

I also like your top 4 play-off system which is the same principle as the old top 5 system. I think that is fairer and would produce some great games. The first game 1v2 with the winner going straight to the GF would be a corker as it used to be with the old top 6 system. It also gives more value to finishing in the top 2 whereas a straight top four play-off could encourage teams to 'play the system' and finish 4th then going all out in the play-offs.

I still don't like the idea and ultimately i think it will fall flat on its face, thats not wishful thinking thats just my opinion. Yes the super league needs a change as it has become stagnant and dare i say it boring this is also reflected in attendances, however i don't think that this concept is the way forward.

You acknowledge that there needs to be a change and yet your posts don't offer a solution. You have a said alot about what you don't like. How about offering some suggestions about what you think would work?

I don't know the solution but I don't think splitting a league into three is the answer. The people at red hall get paid the big bucks to make decisions, I pay my money to be entertained.

After just getting home from the game I didn't really see any whipping boys in Bradford shirts, I rest my case.

Haha yeh today's result definitely means we shouldn't replace the current structure. Clutching at straws or what!!

What aboit the rest of the season? They've lost 17 games out of 22 and let in an average of nearly 40 points a game. They have come up with a massive shock result, but they're still the whipping boys and don't belong in the league currently. Hopefully they will rebuild in the Championship and come back stronger

Not to mention a similar strength squad to today's put 84 on them on the back of a 3 day turnaround after playing Saints. Bradford played well today, probably the best they've played all season (I've obviously not seen many of their games) but today's result was mostly down to how bad we were.

We were poor granted but that's a lot to do with us having no plan B, Bradford did their homework and did a job on us, very similar to cas in the cup.
