And your reply is exactly as I would have expected. Of course I don't expect Wigan to be in the bottom four. I don't like the concept of this proposal, a proposal that has already failed in football. I used to look forward to playing saints twice in a season, they were the games that I really couldn't wait to arrive but this new concept means we could be playing them five or six times in a season, that's what I don't like and no its not born out of fear its born out of monotony. We are slowly turning super league into the Scottish premiership. I don't consider it a meaningful league I consider it a pointless league, a league that will have the same teams competing in the same top eight positions every season, all it does is to give the championship sides more opportunity to enter super league end of. I will hold back on purchasing a season ticket next season because I won't pay for something that I don't agree with.

Why we can't just have a 12 team league with 22/23 games I don't know.

Why do we have to do the top 8, bottom 4, top 4, bottom 4 nonsense?

Some teams in the top 8 will have more home games than others, then of course the top 4 Championship sides are playing against full-time opposition with more money to spend on the salary cap in a bid to be promoted to a league that they don't have the money/time to prepare for.

Not exactly a fair system that gives every one the same chance is it really?

I couldn't agree more

A few good points there, I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if the answers are forthcoming, or maybe in the end someone at the RFL HQ my just take the phone off the hook. Only time will tell, so I’ll hold on before passing judgement.

But everything that you disagree with has been a problem under the current system also, why is it taking the move to the next structure to decide everything is pointless? We played Saints 6 times in 2011 and 4 times in 2012 under the current system, why weren't you jacking in your season ticket then? This year we have had the most competitive race for the top 4 and top 8, with only 2 whipping boys who are gone next season.

Leeds and Salford have introduced their season ticket packages which will cover all pre and post split games bar a potential final 1 v 4, 2 v 3 playoff.

Don't really see how the new system will hit season ticket sales if all clubs do the same (as I'm sure they will).

If this has been the most competitive (which it has) then why change it now? My argument is that since 1996 rugby league has constantly been chopped and changed to apparently better the league, yet we still have the same teams winning year in year out, we will again change the format and we will still have the same teams winning it, so my point is..... Why change it?

If Wigan hadn't won eight consecutive challenge cups and five successive doubles, would we be playing summer rugby? I know it doesn't relate to the post but I'm just after people's initial response.

No...

Because there have still been 2 whipping boys, so the league needs reducing, for starters. I agree that changing the league structure won't automatically make more teams challenging to be champions, it's up to the clubs themselves to change that. But what this structure gives us is more games between the better teams, and fewer games between title contenders and teams that simply aren't good enough, which often end up as dull training exercises.

I don't understand specifically what you think it is that makes the current system better than the incoming one? Yes it's odd with the leagues splitting, but a lot of people seems to think that's automatically bad and would much rather have us playing to a football league-style structure, which wouldn't work in RL in a million years.

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 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?
