| If you mean who gets the extra cash it's the two who reach the Grand Final.

| Batley will either be first or second this year - and I reckon the same 'logic' will be applied next year.

| Why are we rewarding teams who finish in mediocre positions.... Time to consign the GF to the dusty bin.

| I have always thought the team that finish top of the league are the most consistent over the season so should be the champions, and the end of season play offs a separate competition.

| But it is.
Since the RFL went down the crazy franchising route a club ticks a box for winning the league another box for winning the NRC and another box for winning the Grand Final.
Course it did not matter. Unless you where in the top league were each top league club got three votes to every other clubs one it would never change until they realised club gates would fall for everyone if this crazy system continued.
Has it helped our sport to improve ? Scooter Nik and Wembleigh will tell you.
I am a knowall who predicted from day 1 it would never work. Btw I sent Richard Lewis an E mail showing the LSV the day after he said on Granada TV it wasn't there.

| There should be no need for play-offs when every team plays each other twice. You should only need play-offs to decide the champions when teams, like in the NRL, only play some teams once but others twice.

| I like the play off system. I think to be called the best team you have to be consistent over the year and also be able to play knock out rugby.
If you look at teams achievements you have Fev who finished top but went out in the semi final of the playoffs and first round of the NRC.
Leigh won the NRC and went out in the first stage of the playoffs after finishing 4th in the League.
Fax 3rd in the league and semi final of the playoffs but 1st round of the NRC.
Sheffield 2nd in the league, Grand final, CC QF(Which cost them the NRC imo), and NRC final. I would be surprised if they didnt win the final.
If they did win the final it would be really hard to make an argument that anyone other than Sheffield has been the best team overall this year at this level.

Fair comment about Sheffield. They've been consistently good all season.
However, what if Batley won the GF? (and good luck to them) Would they be the 'best' team in the Championship, to be 'promoted'? Indeed, to take the most ridiculous scenario - what if Dewsbury (from 7th with 14 defeats) or Workington (from 8th with 15 defeats) had won the GF? Unlikely, I know, but not impossible - wouldn't it be ludicrous to promote someone who had 'enjoyed' that kind of season?
If they did win the final it would be really hard to make an argument that anyone other than Sheffield has been the best team overall this year at this level.

| I love the play offs. Everyone in recent years has complained about 'pointless' games and without them they would have been pointless, but the playoffs really bring the back end of the season alive with something to play for (cold hard cash).

But the league games are pointless mish as the winners of the league games isn't classed as the champions and as long as you are in the top 8 you have a crack at winning the main trophy, I would still keep an end of season comp but as a separate cup not one that decides the overall winners, just my opinion of course.

| But in lieu of that I would rather have the playoffs than nothing at all.
I do think that those who finish first in the league should be the ones who are promoted though, and not the winner of the playoffs.

How about promotion for the top of the league - but the prize money goes to the GF winners??
That way both have an incentive.

| The format is very clear.
You particiapte in rounds each week to set you up for the play off's and to contest the grand final. The more weekly rounds you win gives you the best advantage to secure a Grand Final spot.
You need to win the Grand Final to be crowned the season's champions. What's wrong with that? Everyone know's the score.
Embrace it and enjoy it...
