From October 10 all 14 SL marketing bods should be working as a central team....3 months to get fans chomping at the bit for what could be an epic season with 4 teams facing the drop to SL II.......as for the championship.....given there's nothing to play for, I suspect you'll see a sharp drop in gates......but as long as the right 10 are in SL come October 2022, then it'll all be ok.......but woe be if Leeds or Wigan have a mare in 2022.....now that would be funny

They'd find a way to keep them up even Radlinski would come back to play for nothing again like 2006 season when the rules was bent to keep Wigan up

Each team will play each other twice, not 3 times, hopefully augmented by a 9's Comp which will add home games & bring much needed excitement to the sport. R.L needs to learn from the likes of the Cricket 100.

Thanks for that Ste, it's a matter of making the best of it and a season with all to play for, no loop fixtures, some very important fixtures fighting for SL places, and the safety net of a second tier that will also get funding, and the 9's which you rightly term "excitement" (years ago I went to Wigan to watch RL pro-nines and it was great stuff) then we have a lot to look forward to........

Unless one's club is one of the many that won't be part of SL 1&2 and will no longer see a penny of funding. Now we know where the game is going forward, thoughts turn to who they will leave behind...........

Yes indeed........ A significant time in the history of the game in which there may be exciting times.......for some......

For those shut out quite the opposite and so attention turns to the middle of the Championship where there will be some serious battles for literally "survival" and where Semor Kurdis Newcastle club are playing for a place in the 14 after being conveniently hoisted into the Championship.

What a significant point you raise, thoughts ought to also go out to some grand old clubs......

I dont care what the structure is, aslong as they bloody stick to it.

Personally Id have two 11 team leagues, put a group stage in the challenge cup and turn magic weekend into a nines tournament. No doubt though, they will come up with some backwards gamble that will always be destined to fall flat on its face, then change it again.

Simplicity is best, that will have more chance to gain fans we are in a world now people cant be bothered to learn complex stuff.

Just stop with double header semi finals and lower prices, some clubs are cgsrging nearly 30 quid for a ticket and in finals nearly 80 quid for top tier sales. Behave RL have a look at yourself.

Viewing figures for super league are in terminal decline due to the product on show being boring. Therefore sky reduced the money they pay.
