Just out of curiosity, what happens to the team in the league below souper league that won their grand final??????
In our championship, they would have cracked the champers open and got a £90m windfall in the prem……what happens in rugger league?????????
Sir Dave, you have a massive chip on your shoulders about rugby league & you really should see someone about it. Why on earth are you getting so wound up by a sport you claim to care so little about?? That is what is embarassing about this thread
For what it’s worth it, I feel it does de-value the league by having so many teams out of a small league who are able to qualify for the play offs but as I’ve said the whole point of a league is to rank sides in order of merit. A truly fair system would reward the best teams & punish the weaker ones in the 3 divisions of the football league that happens by & large but you still have virtually the same scenario from 3rd to 6th meaning a team can finish way clear of the 19 teams below them but lose out on promotion to a team who came 6th. teh only rewards they get for coming 3rd are playign teh 2nd leg at home & playing the lowest placed side
It isn’t a fair system – but that doesn’t mean I can’t see & agree with the benefits it brings
Rugby league is a sport I can take or leave – some times I enjoy it & sometimes I don’t. I don’t like Wigan RL for historical reasons but i don’t feel the need to spout venom at them every 5 minutes nor do I let it blind me so much that i start spouting hypocritical nonsense
