And as if by magic..... |

Well technically with the WCC for the previous winners they don't either - but if you think that justifies 8th being able to win the league in a knock out competition then so be it. |

Trawl through your previous 1893 posts sweetheart and you may surprise yourself. Maybe do it on Saturday around 6pm. |

We already know we lost and we knew the format. Im not saying we deserved anything we havent got because we dont. The system is rubbish though and people shouldnt just lie down and accept things they dont agree with. Imagine if everybody just accepted everything because its here to stay? People will always voice their opinions against things they dont agree with and theres nothing wrong with that. |

Losing twice to the same team within a fortnight does though. IMO. |

Salford were certainly better on the day they beat them.

What you could do, is make a wildly spurious comment that simply wasn't typed and then mask it in something equally random.
And then you could laugh at your own joke.
Make for a great post.

Rightly or wrongly, what we think is irrelevant. The clubs agreed too and therefore play too a top 8.
If we were in the final and this thread appeared on the Wire board we would have ridiculed them no end. |

The system is not rubbish - as 80,000+ fans at Old Trafford will testify. I enjoy watching the best clubs in the comp going hammer & tong for the right to be champions. It may not be to everyones liking, and I would certainly agree that the current format (& the abysmal 'club call') needs altering, but the playoffs are here to stay, and are a very valuable marketing tool for the RFL. |

| Quote: Wandering Warrior "Yes but that was down to both teams being ultra consistent for the 25 games prior to that game at the HJ. Warrington lost the whole chamionship on one game to a team that finished 4 places and a lot of points behind them which is out of order imo.'"
Yes but you beat Warrington twice this year. |

I posted that "do you think beating a team once means their better?" and you replied with clearly, quite clearly, very clearly.
Ive just put it into clear english the bull that you have agreed to and now you dont like it?  |

Thats because people prefer to ridicule than see the bigger picture  . I know we agreed to it at beginning as did everybody else. I just feel there is better ways to decide the champions. Lets be honest we wouldnt of won it no matter what the system is so thats not the matter in hand here. |
