wouldnt work

We dont preform that well if we have a weeks break never mind 4. If we win this week we should have a full blown game next week for charity at Orrell get all the 20s and first team together each team can have 11 first team players and then 6 of the 20s Madge to pick one and Wane to pick the other. £5 entry fee and all to go to charity or expenses taken if the club want to keep them all one there toes and match fit.

If a team isn't as motivated as they could possibly be in a semi-final before the club call, then they aren't going to get there anyway.

There is no point in it because the highest ranked team will always choose the lowest rank as that is the 'natural' opponent and that would ahve been the fixture without the club call.

I just hope they go back to the top 6 format. Less than half the SL teams, big advantage to top 2. Top place straight to semi final, knowing a victory woould put them in GF, a loss gives them another home semi final. 3rd - 6th have to win 4 weeks on the trot to win the GF. It was perfect.

I agree with all of that Dougy.

Top 8 just isn't viable.

Top 6 was perfect. Why mess? Oh yeah - The Aussies do it, so it must be better.

Yep. In a 16-team league, top 8 is reasonable enough, but not with only 14.
