Still not right though .

Close again

Season 1906 leigh ' won ' the championship with an 80 % success rate but were accused of ' avoiding ' some of the better teams

Year after that they brought in a play off system

So there you go , it's all our fault

So thats play offs and the introduction of franchising

So you see something wrong with all the teams having to perform at their maximun to beat any other team in their competition ?

How strange , I really thought that is what we were hoping to achieve

as i said, only an idiot

I think a top eight should be reduced slightly, probably to a top 6.

But anyone who dislikes the ideas of a playoff system is a fool. Shorten the season by all means, although not drastically, but the playoff system is not what prevents teams from appearing sluggish in some games. That is a little known thing called "form." Every team in every sport has form dips at some point in the season.

Scrapping the system would mean creating an exciting means of deciding the championship, which generates a load of interest and big crowds as the best teams are pitted against each other in a pressurised environment, but then deciding to revert back to the "old" system, with the championship decided on who could beat the poorer teams in the division most often.

Surely the idea is to have less poorer teams , then you dont need a play off system
