Without having to go back through didnt someone say earlier that the SL winners go straight to GF.
3 plays 4 quite quickly after last game.
winner plays 2 quick quickly after that.

Winner of that to GF. All in the space of say 12 days.

That way it is not too long for the SL winners to wait, coming 3 or 4 means you have to play twice and coming second only once to get to the GF.

Surely each spot in SL would have a big bonus then?

Only down side is play offs down to 4 but shouldnt it be the elite?

Good Lord!!...........How I long for the good old days!!
The play off/league structure didn't concern us apart from relegation issues, 2nd in the league was but a pipedream, never mind the hubcap which was something Saint Helens always won. Resting players for Wembley? Yeah right! And our strongest team used to get battered on a regular basis!
Tony you're a disgrace!!
John Dorahay, Steve Anderson, David Plange...........where are you? Please come and save us from this terrible whingeing about anything we can think of along with this thing us Warrington supporters are not sure how to deal with called success!!

Which players to pick for Wembley.
Should we be Settling for second in the league.
Resting players for the playoffs.
Which hotel should we use in London
How are we going to get down there fly or drive.
Should I wear my new Wembley top or the lucky one.
Should the wife get her hair done for the final.
Beer is 25 quid a pint down in the smoke.
Watch out for them prossies in Soho !


Oh what awful problems we have !

LOL you are right. We should get on and enjoy it.

Even so............... I am wondering whether to wear my red truss or my primrose and blue one. And I have still not decided about the train or my personal Lear jet. Decisions, decisions..

So because we were for a while there is nothing wrong with the current SL system... right you are.

One way to resolve this would be to have the World club challenge contested between the winners of the two minor premiers. This would provide more incentive rather than a trophy that nobody remembers who won it.

If those players on Friday night thought that they might get chance to face say Melbourne Storm in front of 20-25 thousand and get a decent little bonus out of it the story might have been different.
Giving it to the minor premiers also gives more chance to have it at the end of the season - A week after each Grand Final so that will give each club a month to prepare travel arrangements etc. I know that might impact on international fixtures.
