I think top 6 is about right, if you finish outside the top half of the table you definitely shouldn't have a shot at winning the title!

When are the footy fixtures released, looking at the format(assume we stay in top 2) we could have a home game in week 1, 2 or 3 depending if we win in week 1 of the play - off's. Hope Whelan is not going to shaft us again if the mighty latics are at home

Good point but I would have hoped that the club will have looked into that well in advance.

I completely disagree with the fact that it's top 8 for starters... Why should teams outside the top half even have a chance? Infact... I even think the whole of the top half is too much. It's the top quarter in football for the play offs isn't it?

Also, club call is completely disrespectful, and if anything, makes the chosen team even more determined to beat the team that has chosen to play them.

That was a Nigel Wood idea, wasn't it? Says it all, really.

Should be top 5 at most IMO. Top 4 or 3 would be better.

Quote: Finfin "The top 5 system used in 98 was the best. If they insist on rewarding mediocrity by involving 8 teams then the current Aussie system is the way.'"


I totally agree and was about to post something similar. The top 5 was was easily the best as you had to beat every team that finshed above you to win it. It had the perfect balance of rewarding where you finished in the league and yet still gave others a chance to win it, albeit made much more difficult. The top 8 is a bit of a joke imo as I dont see why you should be able to finish in the bottom half of the table and still be in the play offs. It would be okay if there were 18 teams in the league but with just 14 it just rewards mediocrity.

In the playoffs last year and did quite well but now you think you may finish top you want to change the rules. Priceless.

Quite so, which is exactly what the RFL is all about these days.

Total rubbish. I think you will find that most RL fans, regardless of club, dont like the current top 8 format for the reasons stated.

Not true. I did think it was ridiculous last year and damaging to the integrity of the comp that finishing in the top 4 gives you practically the same advantages of finishing top.

If we finish top, I will also treat the awarding of the League Leaders Shield with the same kind of apathy as I did when St Helens won it three times in a row. If you're going to have a playoff system, I don't think you can award anything to the league leaders - it doesn't make sense. I most certainly won't class Wigan winning the League Leaders Shield as the end of our trophy drought.

Thats Rubbish, I was never in favor of the top 8 system, even though its better than the awful top 6 system. I dont think you will be able to find any evidence to back up your point looking on this forum.

As stated before the Top 5 was by far the best, much better than what we have here now, or in the NRL
