As he expresses here -
"Supporters pay to watch a meaningful game each week in a meaningful, season-long competition."
This just proves that Saints are nothing more than flat track bullies who are incapable of turning things up for the big games that matter these days. So McManus downplays the play offs because Saints are no longer good enough to compete with Leeds. Saints are only good when it comes to beating bottom of the table teams by 40 points nothing more.

Personally I think it gives the like a chance. At the end of the day its only two more places and we’ve added two more teams into super league. The Play Offs is Super Leagues Answer to the challenge cup. At the end of the day I don’t think we’ll see much different at Old Trafford but at least it gives the under the underdogs a chance to have a go.
More play off games = more exciting games and as a fan I couldn’t ask for much better. I don’t ever remember watching a boring play off game!

It's all smoke and mirrors. It's just a tacky way of occupying the minds of Wakie et al seeing as there is no relegation. They need something to go at, so need focus to their seasons, a top 8 will do that for some of them.

I think its a good way to improve teams, and get more players used to high intensity games.

That’s when the real rugby league starts. Although some would argue that it starts when the internationals are on. If you didn’t ban him, AP would argue that real rugby league is minus 3 temperatures on a winters Sunday morning watching grassroots under 9’s
