Potential changes to Super League from next year. It is understood this included the awarding of the League Leaders' Shield after 23 rounds, rather than the current 30, and the resetting of points tallies for the Super 8s stage of the competition. I'm not really bothered when the league leaders shield is given out, but resetting all teams points after round 23 is a dreadful idea. Hope it doesn't happen. https://www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leag ... nges/77674

LLS should be awarded after the initial rounds, no point resetting the points for the Super 8s - if you want to do that why not just make it a knock out playoff instead? That makes it better for the players because they ultimately play a few less games.

Games kicking off earlier on a Thursday is a stupid idea, a lot people struggle to make the games for an 8pm kick off so why would that help improve what is already a crap idea?

Radford and Powell were both in favour of resetting points after 23 rounds. I wonder if their stance has changed?

so why bother trying for 23 rounds? just coast through, lose a few who cares, come 8th then kick on.

the fans will be ripped off big time. why buy a season ticket? waste of time and money. wait till the super 8's then go

I would prefer a 7:45 or even 7:30 kick off on Thursdays and Fridays.

So stupid that it's bound to happen.

This.

If the competition itself sees no value in the regular rounds, why should the supporters.

What difference would 15/30 mins make to someone who doesn't go to matches.

There are no tweaks which could address the deep fundamental disadvantages of this stupid system which we have. (which has not only seen poor attendances when we were promised growth, but has seen a precipitous decline in tv viewers).

The structure was put in place because of a huge misunderstanding of what the problems the game actually faced were and we invented this fudge to solve a problem that didnt exist and created a whole heap of new problems.

This was forced upon the clubs by the RFL and should cost the jobs of the Wood, Rimmer and Barwick.

The icing on the cake is the brilliant self sabotage of us going in to a world cup with such huge uncertainty. Again. For the 2nd time in a row.

I will not go to any of the first 23 rounds

Welcome to the championship !!!

Didn't Powell suggest that first gets 8 points all the way down to 8th getting 1 point? It's a better idea than a full reset.
