Your opinion is shared by most; Huddersfield are not the best team in the comp (at least not yet) - does anybody think they are?
That's why we have play-offs - all the best teams going at it, in the most intense games - to determine the champions.

You may think that, but, that is not the reason that we have the play offs

| Really pleased for Ken Davy, who is long overdue some return on all his expenditure, passion and time. I'm also delighted for Paul Anderson, nice to see a Brit coach doing well.
They still won't win the GF though.
This love-in people have with Brough ( and don't get me started on the comparisons with Briers) continues to slightly baffle me. Great kicking game (when he is afforded time), decent passing game and that's about it. That allied to a set of forwards who alternate between Frank Bruno and Frank Spencer depending on the opposition and I just can't see them doing it.

| You missed broughs brilliant running game. He can tackle a bit too. Not sure what else you expect from a 6 except run pass and kick. Unless your looking for a bad hair cut too. Briers has that one mastered

| On his day Brough is pretty close to the ideal scrum half. He just doesn't have too many of those days. Last time he played at his best against Wire the Giants won - in Cardiff at the Millenium Magic. Since then he has retreated into the ordinary when playing us. That's why I would worry about picking him for England. They used to accuse Briers of inconsistency but Brough has him beat in that department.

| So when Leeds win at Old Trafford how will we decide who the 'best team' was?
Its obviously not Leeds because how can you be champions when you only finish 4th.
Obviously not Huddersfield because we all know if everyone had been trying to win the league Hudds wouldn't have finished top.
Who are the rightful winners this season?

Why? So you can get a hard on by scoring points against someone because you think you are right?

Brough wins hands down in the daft hair do department, and the caveman forehead.

I saw this and googled the question, but just got loads of sites about American Football.
The other question should be please give me a list of sports , where every team in the competition plays each other home and away in the same league and doesn't have the team that finishes top as champions?

Well said, it is obviously too simple a concept for some to understand with the usual classic retort that historically we've 'done it' more times via play off's than FPTP, or it's just sour grapes you knew what the rules were at the start of the season etc
The current system is flawed IMO and judging by the continued debate I'm not alone
