If you finish top you are at home for every playoff game. No way the RFL would force the team finishing top into playing away to a lower ranked team.
What would be the point of a 27 game Super League season??????

They do in Oz. You lose and you lose your advantage. |

Not so. The two winners of the week one qualifiers get home advantage in week 3.
If we finish top, and lose in week one, we're at home in week 2 but away in week 3 (if we win, of course). |

Yeah remember Melbourne losing to Auckland then having to go to Brisbane. I thought that was disgraceful.
It doesn't happen over here, the RFL aren't that thick.

So if we we're to play Leeds, and they beat us in week one, which is 50-50, we would then have to play at home a week later, if we win that we would have to play away to Leeds???? Even though we will have finished 3 positions higher?
You sure about that? That can't be right. Why do we play 27 games? The advantage of finishing top is guarenteed home games. Its bad enough you have to win 2 games to get to the GF after finishing top when it was always 1 game previously. |

We could be away at Wire if they choose to play us or even Saints if they don't. |

Not saying I agree with it, but them's the rules. |

The rules are fair. You get home advantage, which is ours to lose. If we lose a game, we lose home advantage. It's not THAT unfair. Think of it this way, if we finished 4th, beat the top placed team, had the week off then had to play that team we'd already beaten again in the semi final, wouldn't it be unfair to make us play away, even though we had already beaten the team that finished top?

So for finishing top over 27 matches getting one single home tie in what equates to a quarter final is fair? The playoff setup is complete and utter rubbish. After this season they should make it so top team is straight in the semi/final decider at home imo. |

No, if you finish top you are guaranteed two home games. |

Even if you are guaranteed 2 it still isnt great. You should be guaranteed one and if you win it you should get in the GF imo. |
