The regular season will be 22 games instead of 26 (plus magic) as now. That is what the season ticket will cover. Why are people finding this so hard to understand??

why would you buy a season ticket to cover 22 games, when whether you are promoted or not depends on an entirely seperate 7 game competition, where the results from the 22 games you are trying to sell are entirely nullified?

Getting promoted or relegated will be like the football playoffs, but the league is still important!

Stunned at this decision, a decision which I feel will decimate season ticket sales which are the lifeblood of most clubs (including our own)

who is going to want to pay for a season pass when you don't know who you are playing when the league splits in 3?

You could pay expecting to see the likes of Saints, Wigan & Leeds, and end up playing Sheffield, Featherstone & Leigh. The majority of fans will keep their season pass money and pay on the day, and soon as a club hits a bit of poor form, or a game is on TV crowds will dip.

You're the one claiming the new structure is too complicated and too stupid when you admitted that you'd not even bothered to read the details of said structure.

It's not complicated at all.

The team who finished 9th could have been in 8th with two rounds to go, suffer a massive injury list and end up relegated.

Just like a team getting a few injuries week before grand final and not winning it.
Leeds having injuries most season and getting everyone back for the playoffs and winning the GF

Thats rugby and most other sports, tough luck thats how it goes. All the time everyone can moan about injuries and use them as excuses.

The team that finishes 9th are not relegated are they. They are in a playoff to determined there SL status and like I said if they finish 9th they should e good enough to remain in SL.

They know the rules at start of season

Well it wont will it, for the clubs outside the play-offs we have a 22 round competition that decides nothing.

This could have a massive detrimental effect on season ticket on some clubs. Terrible decision IMO
