This would probably never happen, but how about Grand Final play-offs with just the top 3.

The Champions go straight through to the grand final, whilst 2nd and 3rd play off to see who meets them. The benefits would be at least one 'big' team will miss out and thus place more emphasis on winning the league games.

Of course it would bring up the issue of teams lower down having nothing to play for, but perhaps in addition to this you could hold a three round cup for teams from 4th to 7th.

W1: 4th vs 7th, 5th vs 6th
W2: Winners of W1 play each other. 2nd vs 3rd.
W3/GF: Winners of W2 cup play loser of 2nd/3rd.

Then use the cup as a warm up game for a double header at Old Trafford. Would probably help add a few extra thousand to the gate as well.

Well we'll see how that impacts on Warrington won't we

And that's the point, warrington aren't going all out to top the league (what's the point?) they just want to be handily placed and keep the players fresh for the short cup comp at the end. It means weekly rounds have less importance, players regularly rested, It's been a poor season, even Eddie hasn't used his usual mantra "the super league gets better and better every season"

The season is only just getting into its swing although I understand why a Wire fan might not have enjoyed this season as much as last.

Just getting into it's swing, what round are we in now?

I didn't say that prior to this there was no excitement.

On the issue of players, it's shameful that people still think these guys don't go out there aiming to win. Pretty much every match I've seen this season has had players committed to the game. In some games they may find more commitment than others but that's no different to under a league format e.g. teams raise their game against local rivals only to perform poorly in a match they should be winning the week after. That hasn't changed. What appears to have changed is that some fans seem to think players don't try as hard now as they used to, which is poppycock.
