In principle it's a good idea, Though I don't think they give enough benefits to the higher placed teams...

Top of the league should always be crowned champions. If you can finish above every other single team in the league than you are the best. Any team in the world can lose a one off game, so the GF doesn't show who necessarily the best team are.
You can be mediocre all season and then turn up and win the GF.

Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock "I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count" [quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote] Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!" I thanked him and went on my Merry way! RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015! "The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth."

I would argue you can't?

You may be able to be Mediocre all season and then be exceptional in the Play offs, but not just in the GF?

Fair enough! Yeah i meant to can be mediocre all season then turn up and win the playoffs. You could win less than half your games and be champions. Yet a team may lose one game all season and not be. Anything can happen in cup games. Its a shocking way to decide champions when there is no need for it.

Although highly unlikely, its possible for Crusaders to be crowned Champions having won 16 and lost 15 SL games.

How can that be right?

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.:



Quote: ROBINSON "That's a good thing, though.

The less prestige that is attached to the League Leaders Shield, the more prestige remains attached with the Grand Final - and it's the Grand Final we all want to win, isn't it?

If coming top is seen as 'the' achievement, then the Grand Final will be no more prestigious than the old Premiership - a post-season afterthought.'"


Yes I agree. I wasn't expressing a view, for or against.
