Yes

Yes and Leeds will be in that after a very poor season. At least we aren't being hypocritical when the format works in our favour  |

Maybe you didn't personally but 99%..... 
Lots of complaining that the new system left you lot in 6th-8th places next to no chance of making the top 4. |

Have you just made that up? |

"99%", "lots of complaining"? By whom exactly? I didn't see any. We didn't mind that as we didn't deserve to be in with a chance because we weren't good enough. |

Complete twaddle, care to produce some sort of evidence that ANY Hull fan or even Warrington fan said this?
Resetting the points may have being mentioned in a very typical humerous comment but in no way shape or form would that be serious, even the most idiotic fan can see that that would be unfair beyond any comprehension. a completely seperate mini league/play off with teams from two different leagues of course has to have the points re-set. |

resetting the points is ridiculous. you are in effect creating a separate competition. only way to do this would be to give a trophy out for league winners after the 1st 23 games then start again with the top 8. ain't gonna happen (even with the RFL)

What was the competion called when 1st place played 8th,2nd played 7th and so on.
Few years back but can vaguely remember it,either that or it was a dream. |

The Big Four are so far ahead now that it is hard to see any of them being replaced by a club that finishes 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th.
On another matter I find it strange that the voters from this forum have placed Catalans as the 4th most likely to end up at Old Trafford, despite the fact that Catalans are way ahead of Wigan on points for and against. Moreover Catalans still have a game against Wigan to play at Perpignan on July 2nd.

Totally agree with this. If you reset the points then teams that have grafted hard and are at the top are essentially punished for their hard work while teams at the bottom of the 8 will essentially be given a helping hand to compete with the top teams. Awarding the shield after the 23 is what I would propose so that teams wouldn't take their foot off the gas after they are secure in the 8. |

That would be the Premiership you're thinking of. Although the format changed a couple of times over the years, this was just an end of season playoff with the only prize being a separate trophy. The League champions were the team that finished top after the regular season in those days.
[urlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_League_Premiership[/url
What I hadn't realised was that from 1907 to 1973, the championship was decided by a top-4 playoff - just like we have now, albeit with the extra nuance of the split after 23 games. |
