Remember when we finished fifth two seasons in a row and won the league?

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row

I stand by my comments but time alone will tell. I’d genuinely love to be wrong on this. I really hope teams go all out every week but I can’t see it happening. Taking Wigan just as an example, I can’t remember us putting a full strength side out in a game against Widnes. I put this down to the fact that we can afford to take a chance and risk losing a few games. As long as we have a play off system it’ll remain the same. Bet your life if finishing top made you champions then every team would put their strongest side out week in and week out. I know it’ll never happen and as I said, I’d love to be proved wrong.

| Teams would still rest players for CC semis and finals and probably the earlier rounds too, were the payday that is the grand final removed from the calendar.

| You’re right they would but it would less tempting. I’m just not a fan of the play off system, regardless of format. I suppose I’m just an old fashioned old sod!

| One man's "resting players against Widnes" is another man's "giving some of the promising youngsters some valuable game time". Sometimes I wonder why I don't see equivalent complaints from Aussie fans about the regular season not mattering. With a top 8, too, in the NRL!

| Under the top 5 system no team from outside the top two 2 even made the Grand Final.

| I see use as an unknown quantity this year. New coach/backroom staff, potentially new playing style, player changes etc. Hard to predict this season.

Yes
Think they were the only team outside the top 2 to make a final under the top 6 also?

Exactly. If you have to have a play off this is the best way to go.
