1) Make every game count.
The team finishing top are crowned 'Champions' and get a trophy commensurate with this achievement. The trophy that was given to the winners pre-superleague would do nicely. This team then gets an automatic place in an expanded 4 team WCC.
The winners of the Grand final are crowned 'Premiers' (or 'Grand Final Winners' if you prefer) and would get the 2nd British place in the WCC. If the 'Champions' and 'Premiers' are the same team, the 2nd placed team at the end of the regular season would get the 2nd WCC challenge place.
Every game now counts!

This is all hypothetical drivel and opposition fans would see your post as making excuses as to why we didn't finish the job off last season when we were in the box seat
I totally disagree with a first past the post finish should be deemed the "CHAMPIONS" as we as a club brought that accolade to it's knees during our heydays when we had wrapped the title up and with months to spare too and every other team and it's fans went into hibernation and games became totally meaningless fixtures.
Sky TV are our games only life blood and they want to see a top 8 play off series and with the maximum number of TV games to air live on their station and with the GF winners being crowned the ultimate winners,so we are at least stuck with this play off series to at least the 2015 season and possibly even longer if the clubs wont accept a reduced contract payment for a reduced play off series
Should we and probably every other super league side in the competition ask the question as to why only one club can muster the goods when it really matters and not only when they finish 5th either?
Wigan and Warrington should have both won a GF and in any order these past 2 seasons but neither have been able to handle the big games I'm afraid,from our clubs point of view the answers to this lie within our club and not by re-structuring the pay offs structure or by blaming Red Hall
