Many thanks to Saints for that. will it put bums on seats next home game? .

feel the winners of the LLS deserve to win the grand final really, would be fitting. just hasnt been happening though!

and top 8 for playoffs needs to be reduced to 5 too. rewarding loses at the moment. yes it gives the others something to play for but doesnt make it right, glad the relegation is coming back, they have something to play for then!

the downside of this is that some clubs will panic buy, look at hull kr already signed up two overseas for next year!

Reducing the playoffs to 5 means that the regular season has too many "pointless" games then

If we had top 5 then over half the league would have their season over and done last month

but its being reduced to 12 from 14 teams.

and as i said bringing back relegation will give the lower teams something to play for.

oh and the giants were voting for it to be 10 teams very strongly

I'm still a bit gobsmacked we are at the top. I still haven't seen us play a complete match all season (I did miss saints away and Leeds) in terms of effort. I'd have said we played more consistent rugby last season at times ( obviously failed dismal at the end), but we are due to dish out some good all round performances soon I feel, hopefully at the business end.

I did think CC was out best chance of silverware, but the more I look at it now LLS is deffo nut to crack, that would have the knock on effect of instilling belief in the players for a decent crack at the GF ( while giving the Wire a lambing along the way).

I don't think it will, I think it will make it more of a scramble for the fifth and potentially the fourth spot. There would also be promotion and relegation, so teams would be avoiding the bottom spaces.
