if we finish 7th and lose to 10th we dont deserve to be in semis

Knights made the grand final from 7th this year..I doubt they do that with an extra finals game in the mix.

I knew someone would say that. Its ridiculous thinking Jedi. The modern game is a lottery with ref decisions, momentum issues etc. Its completely unfair to go into an 80 minute battle having earnt a finals spot after 26 or 27 rounds of football and have it ripped away by a team that didnt earn it because on that day they got the calls.

Its a joke. If you earn 7th or 8th over 26 rounds, why the hell should you run the risk of missing the finals to 9th or 10th? It goes against every fabric of sport, not just rugby league. Its a disgraceful concept.

I can see it now, Tigers finish 7th, finally do enough to play finials, then lose this bullshit wild and game to 10th placed Parra and our drought continues.

I would only be on board when we have 20 teams, so that the top half make the semis, and then the wildcard round is effectively just another semi final

Not an appointment that would fill me with confidence. Sounds like his time at Castleford ended poorly and wasn't on the best terms with some of the players.

it can also work in our favour we finish 10th we are still a chance.
it keeps interest in the remaining few weeks of the competition, perhaps next year we dont all lose interest in june like usual when we can't make it

It would be a hollow feeling to backdoor your way in from 10th. Especially as someone pointed out if you win due to a dodgy call.

What if 7th and 10th both finish on 13 wins ? Or there’s some abominable ref decisions that factor in one way or another . What about injuries and bogus suspensions like api getting 3 weeks for a hip drop that they stopped penalising the moment he came back .
My point is if you’re the 9th or 10th team and you’ve been in your opinion hard done by , and the 7th team is someone like the roosters or Brisbane , who seem to get forever ending rub of the green , do you still think that you will have the same ideas around traditionalism ? I genuinely don’t think so mate .
I actually think the game should be in 2 conferences come 20-22 teams .
A south and a north . Drawing an imaginary line right along the parramatta river .
You could go with a top 4 of each conference or a top 4 , with the 5th placed teams of both conferences playing each other , with the team with the best overall record getting a bye in round 1 , and the play in game happening mid week, say Thursday , to follow up the final round 1 playoff game on Monday night , against the seeded 2 team overall . So a massive advantage for the 2 seed , and a massive disadvantage for the play in team .
There would be drama galore , never ending chat about burnout , and maintaining freshness , it would absolutely own the zeitgeist .
