Quote ="Hicks Is A God"I think this thread (as many others like it on other teams forums) shows that our game is turning into a right mess!
All season long all you read is, the weekly rounds are nothing, its all about the play off's, it shouldn't be like that, if you finish top you are the Champions.
But now...
After hitting a bit of poor form it all falls by the wayside, and it's okay as it means we can aim for 4th!!...really aim for anything but top spot is now acceptable??, most other team sports (football, union etc...) would see a coach/manager sacked for something like this!
Yes it might throw up a few tasty games in the playoffs, but all that will do will give the RFL the perfect excuse as to keeping the playoffs, I'd rather be seeing games like that week in week out, not just in September/October but I wont hold my breath!'"
I do actually think that the 2x12 3x8 format the RFL are proposing will provide "tasty games" near enough each week. Competitive teams should be playing against each other week in week out with genuine targets to aim for. As long as they have a top 4 or top 5 playoff system, it should reinvigorate the sport. If they kept top 8 though, we might as well pack up and go home...
