In the NRL last season Melbourne were the top team throughout the season, won the minor Premiership then lost to NZ Warriors in the preliminary final (sound familiar?).
They currently stand unbeaten at the top of the ladder after 9 rounds. No suggestions from the NRL that the sport is dead until September!
Quote from McNamara ... "The NRL is neither better nor worse than Superleague". He mustn't watch much RL!

| Quote gary numan="gary numan"Think you are missing the point. I'm very happy with the team, I'm sure we have better form on the way. But the system itself is flawed. The weekly rounds are just not that important. we will make top 8 (good) But if we had lost to salford, so what! and that's just not right. I for one am less inclined to go along to league fixtures than i used to be and i don't ever remember feeling like that before.'"
Good post.
I'm with you.
Weekly rounds missing intensity & have friendly feeling.
Highlight of the week becomong NRL fulltime 1/2 hour on SKY - Can't be right!!!!!!!!!
Think the RL has big problems coming.
For me scrap the GF go back to 1st past the post, relegation, & Premiership comp, |

At least we'd have a better atmosphere. Apparently.
I think the playoffs should become a cup competition at the begining of the season, sort of similar to the Northern Rail Cup. Finish in the top 8 to qualify and the other 6 teams go in the NRC. Rewards the longest, hardest slog as it should be and provides lower league teams with a bit of cash. Also stops most games becoming not much more than friendly matches, we do appear to be just ing around a bit until the real deal in September/October. |

The NRL where the minor premiership means even less than the League Leaders here? |

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"It was always 'weakened teams' under Cullen, I remember every week when we lost the debate on here was always the same
Me, Wires71 and the cynics: "we are crap, we will never win anything till we change the coach, we should go for someone like Hanley or John Lang"
The All New Chester Wire and the loyalists: "knee jerk reaction, look at the players we had out: Reardon, Sullivan, Johnson, Rauhihi, Bridge, Vinnie Anderson, when we have these first teamers back we are as good as anyone"
Various other posters: "the future is bright as these games that Bracek/Pickersgill/Penny are playing now will stand them in good stead for the future, they will be the bedrock of our side for years to come"'"
If we lose this Sunday, finish up third in the league and only win one play off match, then it'll all start again.
Never waver! |

I think a lot are missing the point by a mile. It's nothing to do with the current fortunes of Warrington. It's about having a system where players are more regularly pushed to improve themselves and the team to getting better. Also a competition where winning on a weekly basis counts for something other than a home draw in a knockout that most teams are part of.

Couldn't agree more. The playoffs should be something to strive for, the elite of the competion. Any competition that rewards a team that finishes half way down the ladder beggars belief.
It really should be a top five playoff, no more, no less. |

Confirmation of TS's approach to reaching the playoff's can now be seen on his latest interview on our website;
"Whereas, as probably shown last week, we were prepared to possibly drop two league points if necessary, fortunately that wasn't the case. There are no second chances in the cup, that is the beauty of it and we will do our best. If we don't get it right this weekend and perform at our best, you can get knocked out, so we thought it worth the risk to change our team around last week, using some players with experience but at the same time putting some players in cotton wool and keeping them from injury."
