Quote: Father Ted "If the game is to have this event and it mean anything in competitiveness then it should be based on League positions on a month prior to the weekend and not on last year's placings which are meaningless in 2018.
Don't like it, never have and never will!'"
I've had these discussions for a few years and I agreed with this. I was convinced by others arguments that it be easier to market with better notice of fixtures but either way, to play some teams twice and another 3 times means the league will never have parity. I just don't like it!
