Relegation isn't really a concern for the clubs involved, though not qualifying for the champions league certainly is

I was referring to the lack of a relegation within The Super League.

Yeah I got that. But I don't think that was a driver for these clubs wanting to form the super league, as they wouldn't be worried about relegation (and its financial implications) in their domestic leagues any way.
Compare that with the English rugby premiership where they want to ring fence the league so that none of the teams can be relegated, and it very much is driven by the financial implications of being relegated. (Of course they will wait until one of the biggest clubs gets promoted again, after being relegated due to fragrantly breaching spending rules)
