That's the luck of a draw. I can accept that.

| I don't like it, cant agree with it. I think it will be the death of the game.
People say attendances are dropping and interest in the game is waning. Then do something about the referee's, disciplinary or salary cap. Don't mess with the fixtures which have followed the same general format for years and years.
A lot of fans will be confused by this (me included) and to be honest it just p's me off.

| The game desperately needed something to spark it up as the current system is jaded in my opinion - too many nothing games. Whether this convoluted structure is the answer I'm not sure - it could certainly increase end of season excitement. Will have to wait until we've seen it in action to be sure. Much as I like Magic Weekend as a spectacle the extra game just doesn't fit and it's a big problem when the points from that extra game alone could make a big difference.

| I don't mind the magic weekend although I would prefer a random draw rather than having to play a derby game every time.
The playoffs can still confuse me though, so I'll reserve judgement until next season. I just know that I have no faith in the RFL to get things right but there's enough negativity on here just now

| I like it, only problem I see are a few cricket scores between bottom 4 sl, and top for championship, team finishing 9 in sl will probably demolish team finishing 4th in championship, no one wants to see those kind of games, maybe should of only had top 2 from championship

On the other hand though the top 4 in the Championship may have a higher morale than the bottom 4 SL sides which could make for interesting contests.

| Can't say I like the cc exemption either. Devalues the competition more in my opinion.
re: magic weekend. I would have everyone play each other once in the league, then schedule 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th etc. Obviously, magic weekend would have to be a couple of weeks later so everyone could arrange tickets and travel. Seems simple and fair, so highly unlikely to happen.

| So if you finish in the bottom 4 of SL and play in 'the Qualifiers' group, surely you start from 0 points?

still think it will be to much for the 3 and 4 placed team in the championship, think the top team will be very dangerous though, I wouldn't like us having to beat Leigh at the end of this season to stay in super league

| Quote: Doc Brown "You've got it right Ben. The top 8 are guaranteed their place in SL the year after but the bottom 4 compete with the Championship's top 4 for places in next seasons SL. Depending on how that goes then all 4 Championship sides could potentially be promoted and the 4 SL sides could be relegated.'"
Absolutely mental, carn't see it ever happening that all 4 champs clubs go up but you just never know.
Only thing I can see happening is that when clubs get to a point in the season where they mathematically carn't make the 8 then they're likely to start resting players for the super 8 games because last thing you want going into the super 8s is injuries to some of your best players, the resting of players could then have an effect on the rest of the league if that team still has to play teams from the top 8 who are vying for the highest place then can achieve, the other teams in the top 8 arnt going to be happy your not playing a full strength team against there top 8 rivals.

| Franchising never worked at all so things had to change.
The format seems good and does mean teams should be fighting to win each and every game and not resting players here and there because final standings are not that important at the minute (Within the top 4)
If we took this season for example we would still be fighting to get points because finishing 9th or 10th means an extra home game.
It also gives all the clubs in the lower divisions something to fight for and in turn stops the majority of those dead rubber games.
Glad they are keeping the magic weekend but i think it should be drawn on the previous seasons league standings, or the standings 1 month before the magic weekend.
1st v 2nd , 3rd v 4th etc

I think the bottm 4 teams in sl will all have a chance of sneaking into he 8th spot up until last couple of games of the season, so cant imagine t been a problem

Rest players, lose games and finish 10th or 11th and have an extra away game. It is designed to make all games competitive.

Ah yeah of course, I didn't take into account the home and away part of the equation.

| Does this mean the Challenge Cup will be pushed to the back of the season as Round 5 of the cup will have to be after Round 23 of the league?
