The reaction to the new structure... : Thu Jul 24, 2014 6:16 pm  

is deafening! #RLnewera my booty! Hope you happy clappers will be happy when Wigan get relegated due to the lack of quality and experience in the squad to cope with super clubs like Leigh, Fev, Dewsbury etc.

There is little reaction to the new structure as it was known months ago. All the debate was done then. What people wanted to say has already been said.

What a pointless thread

Re: The reaction to the new structure... : Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:42 pm  

Reading through some of the feedback on twitter only suggests that a lot of stupid people watch rugby league or a lot of people simply can't be bothered reading how it works properly.

I keep reading comments like "how is this supposed to attract new viewers?" Has anyone ever tried explaining the current top 8 playoff system to a non-RL fan!?

I think people need to give the system a chance, learn how it works properly (really not that difficult) and bare in mind what it is trying to achieve with regards to the flaws of the current system.

If someone can actually state what the flaws are with the current system are and the reasons for change, that would be the starting point in understanding what it is trying to achieve. Franchise has worked - Catalan, Widnes, Huddersfield and cas have all benefitted from a system which allows development and growth without the threat of relegation. So why do the RFL say it has failed or that you say it is flawed??

I'm getting my head around it now a bit as it's probably the first time I've bothered to pay much attention to what's going on.

There should be a lot more games that mean a lot more and that can only be a good thing.

I'm willing to give it a fair crack.
