New world order mentality, everyone gets a prize.

They should make it 7-14 over 2 weekends.

If the proposed method was adopted, we would likely move from 9th to 11th
 
I just bought my finals ticket !

Who else is coming ?

Lol

Imagine if we can’t make the top 10 !
 
11th -16th could be best of the rest comp

How about we forget semis , play everyone home and away and first past the post wins the premiership

Would mean one extra round of footy
 
When I started following football the top 4 (out of 10) made the finals and then it became 5 (out of 12) after Cronulla and Penrith were added in the late 60s. In the NFL, 12 (out of 32) make the playoffs. Those ratios in my opinion are about right. Allowing 10 out of 16 to play off is just rewarding mediocrity. Personally I'd be happy if our finals were reduced to 6 teams but the NRL won't do that because more games means more money.
 
Screw the premiership. How about all the teams get encouragement awards instead? Why bother training? Might as well enjoy a longer off season since effort seems not to be counted anymore.

Honestly who ever thinks up these ideas should be banned from providing another idea.. Ever…
 
I really like it. Less dead rubbers, more excitment and the 6 big teams get a week off to recover improving the quality of the finals games later on as well as players get a weeks rest.

I am for any change that improves the quality and excitement of football - who cares about people saying such and such didnt deserve to make it. This is entertainment and they would still have to win 5 games in a row to win a comp against the best teams
 
If Tigers came 10th and did this I'd be kinda embarressed honestly. Oh NRL you seem to be the most inept organisation going.
 
I don't mind the wild card system being used in the NRL. As Kenty said it is usually used in competitions where every team doesn't play the opposition the same amount of times. It takes some of the luck factor out of the draw.

Plus the end of the season has so many dead games that don't mean anything and this would reduce them.
 
I don't follow the NFL but don't they do something like this for their playoffs?
