Do you want to rethink what you just posted ?

Toulouse to come in automatically next year so it's a 12 team league

Then back to franchising.

Why wasn't there any in the top 8 ? , and how do you KNOW there won't be next year ? , maybe this year the top of SL was ' skewed ' , and next year we'll have 7/8 teams all fighting for the play offs

Yes quite possibly next years MPG could be Leigh V HKR or Bradford , so what's the problem ?

That's quite a turnaround from recommending a knock-out structure to increase end of year excitement.

It was exciting by about game 5 of the Super 8's when the shield became imminent, but the first few rounds felt like it was about waiting for the semi-finals. But yes, you're right. I'm assuming Leeds will be back up there, but you wouldn't lose the excitement if we kept the old play-off system but found a way to have a MPG. Like against the top Championship club.

I honestly think it's the best system/structure we've had. I've loved both years!

Yup

This is a BS system and a stupid gimmick - it's part of the reason why anyone outside the sport doesn't take it seriously.

Those ' outside ' the sport don't take RL seriously , nothing to do with its structure

Now ANYBODY today watching that game unfold knowing the consequences could not dislike it

Pure drama

Are you missing Club Call?

Bless.

I know that the game had not finished too long before but, not a sniff of it on local or national news.
Surely something so dramatic should be worthy of 30 seconds on the news.

I thought that media city being in Salford was supposed to be good for the sport.

Salford finished 5th, so by your logic they need up 13th !!!, not very good at maths I take it, seeing as there are only 12 teams in SL.
