whoever finishes top doesnt get as big an advantage as they should which is wrong. IMO this system is more exciting than the last one though

It is exciting yes, but Wi**n finished top and there going to have to play 3 games before they even get there (if they do get there that is ) thats the only downside , didnt we used to have 28 weekly rounds of super league and they changed to 27 for the saftey of players? and now they have to play at least 2-3 games before they get to the final..

For me, the 5 team system was excellent. Favoured the team that palced 1st (only had to win 1 home game to qualify for the GF). Only five teams meant it was hard to qualify in the first place and extremely diffcult to win from 4th or 5th. It was also pretty simple.

The current system smacks of trying to squeeze as many games as possible out of our lads for the TV purposes.

I feel top 8 is okay, but it should be a straight knock out, no second chances and no club call, it devalues the effort put into a full season by the club who top the Super League, now it is a farce.

Cunnigham only thinks it's daft, because he lost the Grand Final, having won the hubcap.

So no, wonder, really.

Next week - Cunningham reveals that the ocean is blue.

couldnt agree more, if warrington beat huddersfield and saint picked warrington for the club call well thats not really fair is it cause it gives us the chance to beat you so whats the point in you beating us to play us again its aload of crap, winners of super league should play one game and if they win they get to the grand final if not get another chance, then everybody else top 4 top 6 or top 8 watever should play off to get the other spot, that has always been the advantage of winning the league, but now aslong as you make the top 4 its okay , i think they need to rethink the playoffs for next year
