Quote: Scotty Keeeeeeench "They did the same last year IIRC. Personally i dont agree with it because why should Wakefield (for example) be punished for finishing 5th last season. IMO its not fair, warrington are more likely to be up there next season and could draw a nice easy tie for there extra game. I understant they want as many competative games a possible but i personally dont agree with this'"
the point is that it gives the teams who finished bottom 6 last year a chance to pick up 2 points against weaker oposition that the top 8 pot and those 2 points could help them break into the top 8 come end of season.
levels the playing field a bit imo.
and im still a fan of the NFL draft system. They have a salary cap same as us, but the team finishing bottom gets first pick of free agents (out of contract players) and rookies from the amatuer ranks (colleges), and top team picks last.
would love to se a similar system here . that would stop any team dominating for years on end, unless they had the finances brought in from crowd receipts.
