IMO franchising is the answer if done correctly. Strict rules need to be in place for it to work and a governng body who has the balls to enforce them.

When licencing was brought in and Widnes didn't get one, this bitter set of fans and the club were cry-ar*ing and demanding rules were changed to suit them. Now they are finally in SL but miles behind the top 5 they are again moaning and wanting changes to give them a chance of reaching the GF.
All start on nil points after 23 games?? What's that all about??
Widnes, however, know all about 'nil points' though having already been nilled at home twice this season. No way are they anywhere near good enough to get to Old Trafford, even if everyone started on zero.

| Quote: DGM "I'm not sure why in RL some clubs feel it has a divine right to be in with a shout of winning the SL until the very end, despite their clubs performance during the year. You don't get the chairmen of middling Premier League clubs like Stoke moaning that they're too far off the top after 80% of the season. They know the format before they start.
If we go with his suggestion, the last few matches for Hull, Wigan, Catalans, Warrington would've been pointless too.
We had it before where a team could finish in the bottom half and still make the playoffs, rewarding mediocrity.
Unfortunately, until we have more than 7/8 strong clubs, there's not a lot we can do with the format.'"

Imagine if you finished top by ten points after 23 rounds, got all your points taken away, got a few injuries and poor ref decisions in the 8s and ended up finishing outside the top 4...
Widnes chairman just creamed himself too early this season when they won their first 6, probably got giddy with Leicester fever and put his house on at the bookies that they'd finish top 4 and now he's looking for someone to blame
That's Weirdness for you

Everyone whinged when it was a top 8 playoff. Resetting the points to 0 effectively brings that back.
Top 4 playoff is fine.

Imagine if you finish 9th in SL, get all your points taken away, have an injury crisis at the end of the year and end up being replaced in SL by 4th in the championship...... |

Who said anything about getting banned for that interview? It was more aimed at your statement that Rule made a "casual " throwaway comment to the media.
Everyone else could recognise that from my original post. But I realise from your posts that you are clearly not very bright and you need it pointing out.
Not amount of emojis is going to compete with that.

To be honest the Super 8s are boring as only the Top 4 a competition. Should be top of the league Champions then a Superleague Trophy for the Top 8? Why put Widnes v Hull on TV when obviously Widnes season is over?

If we are honest widnes probably thought they had nothing to play for at the start of the season, bleating about it now won't help. After 6 games if you'd asked him I bet his view would be completely different!

It's fine. When the RFL succeed in completely levelling out the competition every team will finish on the same points anyway.

That is James Rule for you. Always something to play for at the beginning of the season, and that is to avoid the bottom 4.So I disagree with you on that point. |
