Since the top eight format came into play I've been expecting the 1V4 and 2V3 fixtures to simply repeat themselves two weeks later. Thanks to Huddersfield in 2010 and Leeds last year it hasn't happened yet, but it will at some stage and it will make the format look very flawed when it does.
As they've agreed on sticking with the top 8, we should move to the same playoff system as the NRL uses this year. It gets rid of the stupid clubcall gimmick and 1st round matches cannot repeat until the final as the team that loses moves onto the opposite side of the draw.

When weighing up whether to go to matches or not I usually think 'would I have bitten your hand off for a game like this when we were in the doldrums'. Saints in the playoffs would have been massive not so long ago and I'd like to savour our current success. After all it will go tits up one day and we won't have games like this (hopefully that's a long long time away though).

A really obvious lightbulb just went off in my head. Why don't they bump up the season ticket price a bit and include any potential playoff games in it? I don't think that's the worst idea I've ever had...
