I thought a poll might be useful on the new structure. I hope I've covered all the potential options

I don't mind it, it needs some tweaks but I still feel licencing done correctly was a better option. Not sure where that puts my vote.

Franchising if it had been done fairly and honestly would have been my favoured option.
It wasn't so therefore something had to give.
I don't think this system will create any more excitement except for one game at the end of the season and will create some dead rubbers at the back end of the season when teams that are destined for the middle 8 league start resting players for the battle to avoid the drop.
The only plus i can see from this other than more money for (12) SL clubs is that id does give lower league clubs a chance of moving up, which for me is long overdue.

I'd like to add that I'm in danger of walking away rather than it being a fait a compli

Willing to give it a try but not convinced the RFL have got 100% faith in their own decision. Could quite easily be pulled after 1 or 2 seasons given the RFL's track record.

I've voted for giving it a go, however I'm not sure that the constant tinkering and trying new ideas is really the correct way to run a professional sport. Recent history suggests that it will be given insufficient time to see whether it could work before the next idea is thrown in.

Snap! - You just beat me to it

Undecided but I hope it works out for the best.

Undecided but willing to give it a go.

There are two in this house house that won't be getting a season ticket next year for the first time in god knows how many years.

Im out, had enough of that useless lump of lard ruining our game.

Call me a cynic but I don't think it will be long before they announce they like the three divisions of eight too much and stick with that for the full season.

I don't like it and would of preferred a 1 up 1 down protected in the first season for the promoted and parachute payment to the team relegated

think it will be devastating for the two that go down this season and finically ruin the game in general but hey ho Nige knows best

I would've preferred one up one down, but I let's see how it works out. At this stage I don't really understand how this kind of announcement leads to some folk deciding they're not going to watch their team anymore.

IMO the worst performing team in any league sport should be replaced by the best performing over a season of home and away matches. How could it be possible for a team to finish 9th, just outside the play offs possibly on points difference, and be relegated. I'll still go of course, I could never walk away from the team I love but I see us becoming more of a laughing stock sport if it doesn't take off rather than the growth that we all want to see.
