Everyone is entitled to an opinion,someone said if you dont like what you see dont go,that is the wrong thing to say,as i said everyone is entitled to an opinion,we all have ideas what we want to see.



Old saying/ YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME BUT CANT PLEASE ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.



Or something like that.

Tbh is does make you wonder if the week off during the play offs for the qualifying team does more harm than good for match intensity.

After the CC rounds the Giants play the Pies and we play Wakey away.

If we beat Wakey then we will be 2nd, the following week Wigan play Saints & we play Widnes. We could go top that week.



Nuff said.

Funny just made a similar point on another thread before i saw this one, Being that i haven't been to the last 2 home league fixtures as i find them a bit pointless. If we were to slip around the 7th league position then games would have more meaning. The system is flawed, as people have said, plod along, save players and hope you are playing well for a few one off games at the end of the season.

It was all so much more exciting when we had the thrill of vainly chasing ( and failing to achieve ) a play-off spot.



Some folk are never happy.

Ahhh..... The good old days.



Happy times

Let them play/watch the 'home grown' players now at the highest level - WE WON'T NEED AUSSIES in the future

didnt a team down the road try to buy the best and forgot about our own kids?

some of them come over here for experience then clear off first chance to go back - unless its a pensioner.

Doesn't matter how pc anyone is - the aussies only get to be good by playing at a higher level - let our lads do it AND support them

I have an idea. Lets move back to Wilderspool, sign some second rate / ageing Aussies, sign some journeymen British players, recruit an unknown coach, lower expectations, go out of the cup prior to the semi final stage and avoid the play offs each year



You can give the world on a plate to some people and they will complain about the plate.

Think you are missing the point. I'm very happy with the team, I'm sure we have better form on the way. But the system itself is flawed. The weekly rounds are just not that important. we will make top 8 (good) But if we had lost to salford, so what! and that's just not right. I for one am less inclined to go along to league fixtures than i used to be and i don't ever remember feeling like that before.

Go the Wolfs

One way to avoid the weekly round games being treated (By some teams) as warm up games for the play offs is to reduce the number of teams eligible to become 'Champions'. Top 4, 3 or even just the top 2. Would we have put the same team out against Salford if we had to finish so high?

I think you are right Tin Soldier. Unfortunately I think 'the powers that be' set the cut off deliberately low such that lower mid table teams still have a chance of getting into the playoffs - it keeps the interest going for their fans at the end of the season.



Sorry if that sounds rather cynical
