Middle 8 start on zero points

That is right Wiredeano middle 8 is the Qualifiers super 8, well they tried their best to confuse me and succeeded.

Cheers The Perry Boy it clarifies a few things.

They do indeed. Would be a bit unfair on Wakey to start the 8s 30 points behind Leigh and Bradford!

No offence bud but the format's been out for almost a year, if you don't know the basics of it now you're a lost cause.

Did anyone understand the playoffs when they first started?

I still don't

I've no issue with the middle 8 format but the super 8s needs to be reviewed at the end of this season. It looks to be virtually impossible for teams 5-8 to break into the play offs with the carry over off league points.

I would think a system the rewards the highest finisher with all home games and so on and the 8th team looses all home rights, but every team plays the 7 games off scratch so giving all teams a chance to qualify for top 4.

But then we'll have the same whinging about games before the split meaning nothing. If a team can't make the top four having made the top eight then you don't deserve to be in there do you?

Agreed GHF
So it makes a mockery of the system. Why bother playing out the mini league at all? Theres little more than a pay day formality with each game.
