Plus loop fixtures for the SL clubs to make up the number of games / money income.

Just rubbish from the RFL, change the whole process a couple of games from the end of the season. It really does just indicate that they really have F-all idea about what they are doing. The whole game is a shambolic joke.

The problem with loop fixtures - like the $uperEights 1 and 3 - is that there are a lot of games with bu99er all at stake. Folk not so interested, gates are lower for these third (maybe fourth or fifth) meetings of clubs in a season. Still, at least we'll have a bit more notice of the fixture list instead of the current ten minutes.

So - are we playing 26 games, then ? Plus maybe the Bash. I'm not a huge fan of the Bash, but I can live with it if it gets us on TV once a year.

How on earth can they change the whole system so late in the season?

This just shows how weak the RFL are, four or five SL clubs being the tail that wags the dog.

In fairness, Norman, there was so much pressure to try this TwelvesandEights that we had to give it a run or we'd never have heard the end of it. In fact, all the predictions about its problems are now well understood.

    Teams finishing halfway up the table after 23 games getting relegated
    Clubs can't decide whether to include $uperEights games in season tickets
    Middle Eights the only games where crowds are decent because they're the only teams that start on zero
    Fixtures arranged at short notice
    Ground sharing clubs shafted by their soccer partners again because the soccer fixtures are out first

All these problems were predicted back in 2013.

You speak as though it's never happened before.

Fully agree and I'm not proposing it, it's just what has been mentioned the SL clubs are looking at along with the 1 up 1 down.

But announcing the change at this point in the season is pathetic. All teams should know what the are playing for at the start of the season and that shouldn’t change, this is so unprofessional it’s beyond belief, well actually, no it isn’t.
