Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"So are you saying that the problem in our game is that it isn't competitive? Which team is running away from the rest so dominant that nobody can compete with them?
The last two years we've had 5th place winning and this year we may get 4th place winning. At the moment the reason the playoffs have come under scrutiny and the reason they appear to be a 'lottery' is because any one of us, Wigan, Hudds, Leeds could win, there isn't a clear answer on who is the best of those four teams. Back ten years ago when Bradford were at their peak you pretty much knew they were going to make the Grand Final however the playoffs were structured, it wasn't as much of a lottery then.

I agree the final 2 weeks of the play offs are more competitive, compared to it just being the final, but I was more pointing out that the league fixtures are a waste of time, because 8 or 9 of the clubs are no-hopers from the moment the season begins.
Ideally, to make a play off system work, we need a dozen Simon Moran's or Marwan Koukash's to take over the clubs and then you could fetch in a draft/auction system where players are shared among similar strength sides.
