Then should the champions be those who finish top after the regular season in your view and the top eight and grand final be another fabricated comp?

No, the champions are the GF winners. Everyone knows that

| Meh. Would have been nice but honestly not bothered about this. One less opportunity for injuries and one less game to play in a crowded season.

Got to agree, one of the best sporting products on the pitch and the worse organised off it.
Change the league format/relegation every few years
No major international comp that free to air channels pick up on
No idea what matches will be played or what venue only months before they are scheduled
Disciplinary committee that is not worth the seats they sit on
Just off the top of my head

| Headlight seems abit misleading "Hull FC suffer World Club Series rejection" was we really rejected or just couldn't find a club for us to play?
Just means one less game to play that's all, but the RFL need to sort 2018 after the 2017 finishes get it set in stone before the playoffs and Challenge Cup so there's no confusion.
Or is that too easy??

Only the England games and the final, the rest were buried on the little watched Premier Sports.

He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]

[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

If they couldn't find anyone willing to play you, does that not mean they rejected the opportunity of playing Hull?
Warrington were the 3rd wheel in the first series, but people wanted to play them (baring in mind they finished 5th and knocked out of play offs in the Semi). The season after St Helens played in the 3rd wheel game after finishing 4th and losing their only play off game. Both had teams come over, so I would say if they couldn't find you a game, its because you, and the silly system has been rejected.

| I think its a shame that the game didn't get this format sorted out say 10 years ago, when the Salary Cap was much more equal between the NRL and Super League and Super League had bigger name overseas players. Instead they've tried launching it in an era where our salary cap is massively lower and there aren't many players who Aussie TV viewers will be familiar with playing in the UK.
Still poor that the RFL has left things this late to sort out the format though.

Absolutely agree with you there but what is the format, or is there one? What is the criteria for playing in these games? Its usually the Grand final winners but then how is it decided who else plays in the other game/s?

i think they would if the roles were reversed
the world club series was morans' and hetheringtons' idea, along with morans' cheque book, no way was he going to let them miss out!
