The play-off system is OK as it is. Change it to top 5 then we create a raft of meaningless fixtures from mid season onwards. Can,t agree with a plate competition either, the dream is to win Super League not a micky mouse consolation trophy.

Is that a joke???.

Fev under 23's would wipe the floor with probably every superleague u19's teams. theres already a decent cup competition for championship teams.

I preferred the top six formula, but would only work if they brought back relegation. Don't think there is a need to exempt anyone. We stayed up. Huddersfield stayed up. Hull KR stayed up. There shouldn't be any criteria for coming up. Everyone should have their place in the sun, and should maybe have a parachute payment, like in football.

Having said that, there seems to be a lot of good youngsters coming through, and so maybe we are starting to see the benefits of franchising.

Although I would agree that the game does need a pinnacle, there is something that is not right when a team finishing below the halfway mark in the league could be crowned champions.
Ok this hasn't happened in SL history but, we have had a team finishing 5th declared the best team of 2012 and they clearly weren't THE best team of that season.

Personally I would prefer just going back to the old top 8 system, 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7 and so on. No second bite of the cherry, no club call, just straightforward knock out matches. That way every match would mean something.
