I'm a Leeds fan.

In my opinion, the team that wins the league should be the champions and that was Warrington, end of story.

There then should be a play off grand final but if you win this should not mean you are champions. This way, there would be three major trophy to go at, the Challenge Cup, The league and the Play off Grand Final.

Unfortunatly, it will be Leeds who go down in the history books as as winners, champions, it will be Leeds who are playing in the WCC and nobody will remember who came first, second, third or fourth in the league.

I am ecstatic that we won but there needs to be a change in the current format for me but that's the way it is unfortunatly, everyone knows that that at the start of the season, maybe in the comming seasons, there maybe should be an emphasis on not winning the league, resting some players during the year, keeping people fresh and aiming to peak around the play offs so it would be irrelevent whoever finished first, second, third, fourth, fith etc, just get in the play offs and anything can happen.

I am sure most teams would waifer a few games during the season but come good in the play offs.

All in all Wire fans, you've had a great season, you have been the best team, the league table does not lie and this bodes well for the comming years, all the best for next seaon!!!

These sort of 'friends' are going to call RL a joke anyway. Do they watch Wendyball? How is the Champion team of Europe decided?

The SL champions are the ones who win the Grand Final - everyone knows that and plans their season accordingly. The playoffs and the final are a great way to finish the season. I really enjoyed the Saints Wigan games and whilst we got the wrong result our match against Leeds must have been great for the neutral. Then the Final on Saturday was excellent too. Had the SL Champions crown not been riding on these games, then they wouldn't have been half as exciting and Old Trafford would have probably had half the crowd too.

So why do we need to change the format? Only problem this year was there was that half the teams in the playoffs didn't offer a credible challenge. Therefore those teams need to strengthen next year to do better. That is what needs addressing - more teams able to compete at top level - not the competition format.

Yes, but I bet lots of your 'non RL friends' like it. As they feel free to comment on the game you know and love, fire that one back at them.

how vey true, we all knew the format before the season started. as you stated and i have to agree blowing huddersfield away did us no favours, better opposition may have conditioned us enough th beat leeds. i hope the other teams come out stronger in superleague 17
