Quote: Dougy "It would be interesting to see a season where to win the Championship you had to finish top. Just to see if the intensity would go up a level week on week. I think it would do, and IMO the playoffs are the reason regular season games don't seem as good as they used to.'"
The intensity would lift initially, but once a team knows they're out of the running, which would happen to some before halfway through the season, where's their motivation? I'd be releasing the guys who we weren't keeping for next season early and giving the fringe players lots of game time. That doesn't exactly make for a high intensity game
