saints will pick warrington, thats if they beat huddersfield

Agree 100%.

There is no real benefit for finishing top is there?

Saints and Leeds should get some sort of reward for winning. At least we're not copying Australia as then Wigan would be away to us as well, which even I would think would be daft.

A home tie against the team finishing 4th seems like a benefit to me. Don't blame the system if Wigan failed to take advantage of that.

I'm not as such but I feel that it's harsh on the side that finish top after 27 rounds to now be playing away for the right to get to Old Trafford.

IMO we should go back to the top six.

If we're going to do a top 8, at least use a system that gives lots of different potential matches instead of repeating the same ones, and use the McIntyre system the NRL use.

If we had stronger teams from fifth to eighth I'd be inclined to agree with you. Perhaps this weekend's games will prove that the Giants and Rovers are strong enough but from what I saw this weekend I can't see either giving too much trouble to Wigoon or Wire.

No It Wasn't

Im saying lets go for the NRL system, but the system we use is actually the evolution of that. The problem with the NRL system would be that if 1st place loses in week one... youre playing away after that full stop

If 1st loses at home to 8th, with the standard of teams in England, they deserve to have to play away from home.

Its a fair comment but its a criticism levelled at that system.
I also dont get what goes on between 4th and 5th, they must play each other in week 1 and 2 basically unless someone turns out an upset
