Moving the goalposts to suit your argument just makes you look... petty. Leeds have saved their best performances for the end of the last two seasons to be crowned overall Championship winners - no fortune involved at all.

Talk out of your , dress it up all you like, save best performance for last 4 games have you read it back yet and realised what a crock of 5h1te.

Wigan best team by a country mile last season and Wire the same year before.

About time the RFL did away with the money spinner play offs and rewarded the true champions, the team that's consistent thru a full season and also the team that wins the Challenge Cup. Owt else is a load of B0110x

Apt profile pic. Very apt.

Judging by your opinions you seem to share the same level of intelligence.

When will you people get it through your thick skulls that league position means nothing? The fixture schedule isn't even weighted evenly for gods sake, besides the most important fact that everyone knows before the season starts finishing top does not render you champions, thus rendering league position irrelevant.

You really don't know how the play-off system works do you?

The TRUE Champions are the ones that win the Grand Final. If it were those that won the hub cap you'd probably see a different approach to the season from Leeds.

Anyway, it's not like your lot are going to get anywhere near Old Trafford, so you take solace in your deluded views and carry on believing that the world is flat.

A playoff final is the traditional way of deciding the Champions in rugby league. It's sad you're willing to dismiss over a hundred years of RL as bollox.

I'm surprised it's taken flyingpoop this long to post his traditional bollox rants.
His carer obviously had other chores to finish before logging on for him!

Is it sad that you're willing to dismiss the 37 seasons where the champions were determined by league position? Which also included the first decade of RL history? Or are you experiencing difficulty with the term "traditional"?

No I'm not experiencing any difficulty thank you William, are you? You seem unsure of the definition of the word "traditional".
I don't dismiss those seasons, it was an interesting experiment, but those teams are deserved champions regardless of the system. Flyingprop however was the one dismissing playoffs as a "money-spinner" and suggesting that playoffs were effectively an RFL/SL gimmick and playoff winners aren't "true champions". That I find strange when playoffs are the traditional choice of defining the champions throughout RL history.

Which ever way the title of Champions is decided, Huddersfield have failed on an epic scale. It's alright talking-up Wigan and Warrington's claim to be "true" champions of recent seasons but this is about Leeds and Huddersfield. Let's say 6-0 in favour of the Rhinos (+ 2 runners-up).
So if we never make it to the GF again and Huddersfield win the next 7 or 8 they can come on here with actually something to shout about!
See you lot in 2020...

It was only the traditional way because every team did not play everyone else.

And how does that compare to the current or previous fixture format? Does every team have exactly the same fixture list under those?
