grow up.

Sore losing pie eaters. FFS you finished top of the league. You were the best throughout the season but play offs you fluffed it. I don't care if you rebel and don't buy season passes anymore (like some of you fans have said) but don't blame rules and regulations why you got beat. Leeds got to the GF from within a play off spot. Deal with it! It isn't though they finished 7th or 8th which IMO should't be rewarded for play off spots!

Are you Nigel Wood?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. The majority of the opinions on these forums suggest that some of you are sore losers. Some however have acknowledged the fact that Leeds were up for it and played better than you. I do agree with that and agree the play off structure should be changed. I wouldn't come on here and disagree with you if a team won the competition from 8th place! (Unless it was FC)

This whole thread originated from a question to Bilko about his website. Bilko answered in his usual manner and, as a result, created one of the best debates on here for ages. Then in true forum fashion you surfaced from the bottom of the gene pool and now look where we are.

Good luck to Bilbo and the rest of the Pie Eaters in the World Club Challenge.

Just off you prick you are ruining a perfectly good thread/read.

It has nothing to do with loosing in the playoffs, it is the complete pointlesness of going every week to watch teams like Hull, Castleford, Salford, Widnes, Wakefield, KR get smashed and being bored out of my tree after about 10 mins because it means absolutly nothing.

Last Friday was one of the few times this season where the blood has been racing, worryingly for the sport it took close to 30 games to mean something!

I dont understand how hard that is to grasp!

Top 6 same as before. Or alternatively winner goes straight to GF 2v5, 4v3 they meet in the next round and winner plays 1st place (the most consistent team and the one that deserves to be in the GF)

Oh look, more good news from Sooper Dooper League Club Castleford

what a bunch of miserable b******s
you lost, it's the end of the world, we get it!

Another ****ing idiot who can't see past the club-bias agenda. The game as a WHOLE is being discussed not 1 ****ing match in a season.

Friday night was a fantastic game and occasion to be at even if we fell on the wrong side of the score line. Problem is apart from the CC we are only getting that tension in week 3 of the playoffs and the GF when we should be getting it everytime Wigan/Leeds/Saints/Wire play each other in the regular season. You get the feeling that the clubs don't really care if they win in the regular season as long as they win in the playoffs. I don't blame them when where you finish in the league doesn't define your season.

Well, quite simply, i don't think i'm prepared to pay out hundreds next year to watch my club in 27 friendlies until the 'real' season starts at week 1 of the playoffs. I still remember watching Leeds v Wire early in the season and Cullen and Hemmings where saying the coaches won't be really bothered who wins the 2 points at this stage of the season!!!!
how the f*** can that be the mentality when 15,000 plus people have paid £20 or more to be there!!

sorry rant over but i can see the regular season, and British RL with it, going down the drain if the RFL don't sort it quickly.

what if next year, none of the big 4 try to win the league? what the hell are we going to be watching all season?

I am prepared to watch my team win lose or draw whether its a friendly or a league game. I love my RL and will always support my team. Top 8 is a farce but I wouldn't be complaining if I was Leeds and neither would you. How would you feel if you lost key players during the season, dropped points and then key players came back to win the GF? Would you turn round and say "FFS we don't deserve it because we finished outside the top 4?" Yeah right! Give your head a bang and stop being a fake plastic fan. Support your team, the sport and stop being a muppet!
