Quote: Steve51 "Look there's no point in winning the league, it counts for nothing and is barely recognised by the sport.'"
Because objective people appreciate the difficulty in reaching the Grand Final and it's subsequent validity. Step up when it matters.
Quote: Steve51 "You're better off resting your players, rotating your squad for 6 months and get into the playoffs by winning 15 from your 27 games. No risk to your stars and everyones fit for the only 3 games that really matter because the previous 6 months are just a seeding excercise.'"
Obviously. Hardly rocket science.
Quote: Steve51 "Same with the Championship. Fev & Fax are mental for trying to win their league. They're better off doing a Widnes puttiing their efforts and cash into their stadium and training kids up. Balls to the team, recruit a bunch of cheap no marks and get dicked every week. It doesn't matter because you'll sack them all off once you've got into SL.'"
Bitter, much.
Simple caveat; beat the 5th placed team (which shouldn't be difficult if you're that good) then all this disingenuous, smokescreening nonsense wouldn't be an issue.
