Quote Bullet-tooth Tony="Bullet-tooth Tony"I agree with you on this one. Wigan should have gone straight through with the next four clubs playing off (2nd -v- 5th and 3rd -v- 4th, and the winners then playing each other) for the other final place.
It has been done to death, but a team that finishes in the 'bottom' half of the table should not be allowed to compete for the title.'"
Exactly, the game had no intensity as Wigan didn't really achieve anything from winning it, Catalans gave up when 16 points down as they get a other chance. If this had been knock out, then it would have been extremely tight.
It's stupid Wigan finish top, win a play off game yet may not get the grand final. We could end up having to watch Wigan v.s Cats & War v.s Saints again in two week time to qualify for the grand final. We could also get a grand final of 7th v.s 8th. I team should not be allowed in the play-offs having lost more games than they won in a season. The play-offs should be for the elite teams with everything at stake. The opening rounds of the play-offs have all been poor since the top8 was introduced.
