Going for my hat trick now.
How about the top 3 playing off in a sort of Tri League
1st v 3rd
2nd v 3rd
1st v 2nd

3rd place has the hardest games all away from home.
1st place has 2 home games with a week off in between.

Champion is crowned as the team top of the league maybe add a bonus point win for so many tries scored like the RU do.
Downside is no showpiece final at OT
But the top team gets decent gate money with 2 top games.
Just a thought.

New Zealand.

Good answer to the World Champions I will give you that even though you know what I meant.
So who are the World Club Champions?
I was responding to the wonderful Wireflyer who called all Leeds fans scum.
You ought to vet every poster on here mate before banning me, but point taken.

If Wireflyer had called you personally, scum, in reply to a post he'd be put on the naughty step as well. He didn't though.

FFS based on theory this year it should have been Warrington/Wigan in the final.
What would happen if say the 5th team i.e Leeds beat the 4th team Catalan?
They then draw Wigan away and by some chance beat them.
They Leeds end up in the GFand somehow win it.
Would that make it better?

Wind your neck in sunshine. It was hypothetical based on league positions.

I'll add, my system would mean 1v2 would only ever meet in a final.

After Wigan's exit last week I must admit that my interest ended there and I really couldn't care less who wins it.

However, if I did have to pick one then I'd go for Warrington as they play the more attractive rugby plus they deserve it for the consistency over the past few seasons (3 cup wins from 4 years, a top 3 finish in the last 3 years).

Sooner they win it than have "champions" who have finished 5th in the table for the last 2 seasons.

Consistency - Rhinos 5 x winners of the Grand Final in 6 Years take the blinkers off you Wigan fans are unreal lol

I like your idea, however there would no doubt be uproar if say Leeds finished in 8th and smashed the top team, finishing their season in week one.

So was mine.
Whichever way you look at it in the play offs you are always likely to get a lower team beat a higher placed team in a one off game.
It happens week in and week out.
Hence my suggestion for a top 3 playoff league which benefits the top team.
