Not as such 'wrong', he just didn't agree with what you want to hear- I think you need to learn that everyone has an opinion, not just you.
A different structure doesn't really make us a "ridicluous" does it? - take the most viewed domestic club sport in the world (American Football)...teams from the same division don't even play the same opposition each year as other teams in their own league- how fair is that? Are they seen as 'ridiculous'? - NO! its done so for entertainment, and as an handicap to give each team a fair crack at glory (likewise with the supposed salary cap in SuperLeague).....the viewing figures dont lie.
(O/T) Being Cas fan I've watched my club in our dated stadium (which I still feel creates one of the best atmospheres in SuperLeague) knowing that no matter (within reason) what happens on the field our Superleague future is on the line this year due to the surroundings of the field- is it fair to relegate established clubs who are not out of their depth in terms of on field performance in order to expand???- I presume you're thinking no (but does the RFL care?) so i'll continue:-
So why not have the WCC at the end of MM to generate a better spectacle of a weekend? and have it classing as a league match for the European team (as a side note)? - afterall the NRL champions wont be a pushover. Its no different to Castleford being drawn in last years Magic weekend against Catalans compared to Wakefield being drawn against Leeds (then Champions) really is it? It can then be billed as the magic weekend with the world title!
Just an idea...seeing as this is a forum- don't want any formulas Starbug saying how the points for, and points against wont calculate correctly when it comes to points difference.
