I couldn't make it but I watched it and the question I wished was asked was why the hell are the top 8 in SL keeping their points after 23 rounds if we are going back to a top 4 playoff?

Look at this season as a example.
Position 8 is on 21 points and position 4 is on 30 points (That is only going to get wider from now until the end of the season). So the team in position 8 would need 4 more wins and a draw from 3 homes games just to draw level with the team in position 4.
It's just not going to happen so it's going to be no less pointless for teams after the split then it is now with 7 games to go for most.

Re: Joint fans forum : Thu Jul 31, 2014 9:19 pm  
Went tonight and was very sceptical about the whole thing but found it pretty entertaining and informative. I have watched bits of it again on FC TV and have to say that the dynamic of the two owners is very interesting, there is rivalry but a collective will to see a fair crack for this end of the M62 and it was clear to me that both are obviously making the best of a structure for 2015 that neither of them looked to have wanted. While the fan are still finding much of it all quite baffling!

Well true.
You can see what is going to happen now though.
A team will scrape the 8 know they have no chance of the 4 and just prat about until the season ends.
My idea would have been that they keep the points difference (You would expect teams higher up to have a better one) and get an extra home game if they really want it to be 'every moment counts' or what ever it was.

For both our teams we have mediocrity only to look forward to. The end. Merge :wink:

Suppose the idea is that with increased competitiveness, there won't be such a gap. I personally think everything should be wiped out and start again, the original top 4 have an extra home game, don't see the problem.

Re: Joint fans forum : Fri Aug 01, 2014 12:34 am  
To suggest that Bradford were supporters of Hetherington is ridiculous. Pearson stated that they were supporters of the RFL, I actually feel that Neil had a better take on this when he said that the whole sorry saga needed putting into the public domain.

The new structure is crazy, how can you have a middle league of 8 where 4 of those teams are operating with almost an extra £1m of resources?

I am all for more meaningful games but I just can't see this system delivering it. I don't think there has been any detailed research into the system and as such it is folly to push it onto all of us. To say it was voted in by the clubs is to insult our intelligence as we all know that Nigel and the RFL just forced it through.

If you are a championship club though, it at least gives you a chance, and put it this way, I would not be confident of beating some championship clubs!! (£1m extra or not!)
