If you look back over the Superleague era the points gap between 1st and 8th is too big to make up in 7 games. It has always been like like and will probaly continue to be so. So teams in 6th to 8th will only ever be making up the numbers. As with any league system, there will always be meaningless games for those at the bottom. So a straight top four is probably the way forward. Unless of course, you really want to make eevry minute count then perhaps all 12 teams should go into the playoffs or would that be just be exacerbating the situation.

i dont think there is a perfect system but all the Super 8s have done is confirm what we already knew after Rd 23. Instead of drawing it out evry season, we should just get on with it. Top 4 for me

Seeing as the people moaning about the new system probably had nothing good to say about the old system maybe we should go back to first past the post after 23 rounds, season over end of July & everyone can go on holiday not having to worry what games they are missing.

Dead easy.

2mins left and you go for goal knowing the league is at stake quite happy to take a draw speaks volumes on how teams value winning the league...cant take the sport seriously..especially after what i watched thursday..

Are they living up to the hype?

Watch last nights match.

Yes - most definately.

How many other sports have a final few seconds like that at Hudds last night.

Neither will the Rubber Duck.

Imagine how good it could have been had the loser been knocked out. .....its a bit more exciting when something is riding on a game. .....

but then I don't attend friendlies for that same reason
