Hello I know we covered this last year but I am still looking into writing a book about the idea of play-offs deciding the Champions in sport. I was wondering what the opinions are of fellow Rugby League fans on the play-offs. Do you think play-offs are the best way to decide the champions or do you prefer whoever finishes top being champions? And what do you think of the current format? So feel free to voice your opinion again, say whether it has changed or if you missed the post last time, take this opportunity to give your opinion.
Personally I think play-offs are a great concept, sport is about peaking on the big occasion and beating your biggest rivals head to head when it matters.

Not disputing that Kosh,but say,if by some miracle Hull won the G.F. can we honestly say we are better than Wire this season? |

if you win the league fixtures, you win the league, if you win the playoffs you win the playoffs, two separate competitions IMHO.

The original play offs back in the old days were due to the size of the league.
With only 14 teams it's crazy that a team finishing in the bottom half of the league could go on to become Champions (albeit very unlikely).

By the rules of the competition we're all in? Yup.
You're as good as your results make you. |

Thats why coming first is better than 8th.
Anyhow,lets agree to disagree on this one.  |
