Well the idea is to get competitive games but it doesn't take into account teams over achieving or under achieving last season. It's basically the play off teams in one pot and the non play off teams in the other. |

Serioulsy?
If they are the fixtures i'm pretty happy. It's obviously the toughest game we could get but we've got a good record against Leeds and the game would attract a decent crowd.

"I read somewhere that Leeds-Bradford is an airport, Wigan-St Helens is a rivalry. I can't wait to play my first game against them.":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41627.jpg |

| Quote: wigan pie man "the point is that it gives the teams who finished bottom 6 last year a chance to pick up 2 points against weaker oposition that the top 8 pot and those 2 points could help them break into the top 8 come end of season.
levels the playing field a bit imo. '"
Well IMO i dont agree with it. Again, lets say Wakey draw Leeds who go on to finish top and dont lose a game all season. Hull draw Celtic who go on to not win a match all season. Hull pinch 8th spot and a play off place by 1 point over Wakey who finish 9th. I personally do not think its fair that Wakey would have had to play Leeds 3 times and Hull played Celtic 3 times. Would you consider that fair? (obviously i am usuing them 4 teams just for an example)
Why cant we just have a league were we play every team 2 times like every other respectable league around the world. (obviously i take the scotish football league out of that ) |

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

The 2 sets of fans have a good relationship and both take good followings to the magic events so a good crowd would be on for the game.'"
Of course we take more than anyone else |

| Quote: wigan pie man "and im still a fan of the NFL draft system. They have a salary cap same as us, but the team finishing bottom gets first pick of free agents (out of contract players) and rookies from the amatuer ranks (colleges), and top team picks last.
would love to se a similar system here . that would stop any team dominating for years on end, unless they had the finances brought in from crowd receipts.'"
The NFL Draft works well because the feeder system is unaffiliated with the top tier of teams.
It simply wouldn't work here, because the feeder system is strongly tied to the top tier teams. Players generally progress through their local systems from junior to professional ranks within their feeder area. Sure, some get signed from out-of-area teams, but most don't.
Would you like to see players coming through from St Pats etc, playing in the Wigan U18 and U21 squads, and then getting drafted to Leeds, St. Helens, Wakefield, Hull, Celtic etc?
What about teams that have little of no feeder system to speak of? Is it fair that they should get an unprportionate cut of the talent just for performing poorly the year before? Maybe we should sign Veivers and Farrell to Celtic? |

i can sympathise with that. its all kids dreams to play for their home town team, but money talks doesnt it?
in the NFL you get kids from miami getting drafted from the colleges of florida into pittsburgh, new york, etc.
as long as the contracts right, the kids will sign.
a way round it and a way kids could end up back in their home town is where the trading system comes in.
if a wigan lads drafted by saints, he simply doesnt sign the contract and holds out for a trade back to wigan, or he takes the money and runs. |
