If you keep surviving then you have nothing to worry about.
If your new ground happens you have everything needed go be a top 8 team.

With regards to the OP you can do as I have done in recent years and boycotted all internationals and the farce that is the magic weekend.

But you punish yourself for no benefit, the club's run the game how they best see fit and there isn't a one size fits all soloution.

At the end of the day i enjoy the 80 minute battle involving my team, and I go to as many of those as I can because I enjoy it, the format is secondary and of little importance. There is still a competition to be won.

Nothing will change and after 3years another system will be in place. For me the games one disaster after another, to call it progress is a joke. It is and will remain a wilderness sport watch by dedicated supporters, played by athletes who are constantly poached by union or Nrl, while the clubs find it difficult to run on a day to day basis let alone for a full season. The RFL are the working mans club committee and we all know whats happened to working men's clubs . With no long term plans I fear for the game in general, and feel sure that only 8 or ten clubs will be playing the game at the top level in a few years time. I will still be watching my club at what ever level but the administration of the game can go to hell

You're wrong here.
It means that if you don't finish 8th or better, you are in a relegation battle and IF you are not a regular top 8 team, recruitment of top quality players becomes more difficult.
The top 8 get stronger and the teams 9-12 get weaker, it's not rocket science.

Of course the top 4 in the CC see this as progress

But have you any idea what alternative was on the table? It was far worse than this and destructive to the game!

If we end up in the 2nd tier, it's because of the state the club is in thanks to years and years of spending money we didn't have and general mismanagement. No conspiracies or blaming the RFL, it's out own fault, simple as.

Go on then explain because from where i'm sat this system is just as bad.

In essence i agree we have in the past been our own worst enemies

Unless the RFL continue to fund a certain SL club and keep them from sellling and risking a bottom 2 finish.

Can we blame the RFL then?

Don't like it but we just crack on.

Well, looking at the teams that allegedly voted for it & the alternative that TRB has alluded to, I would suggest quite a few were up for a ten team shut out.

Apart from Leeds & Saints , the teams with the money voted against ...I wonder why ?

Maybe Sky Sports may have had some input, S.L has no sponsors and most of the teams out the top six are on the verge of going bust.

Why do you worry when you think your far superior to any Championship club and have pots of cash.

Your probably right. Both Hull clubs have publicly championed a ten team SL.

This might be the end product in a few years time. 10 teams playing each other 3 times = 27 games plus Magic (if it's still viable) = 28 games then a top 5 play-off.
