Midseason you can become the play off champions. At the end of the season you can become the league champions!

Right – so what you mean is not "let's have the play-offs in midseason" but "let's abolish them play offs".

And replace them with a new, separate and meaningless competition for the teams who happen to be in the top eight at that point, which no-one will be interested in.

Once more: The play-offs determine who are the league champions.

Stupid boy

Doubt everything, even this

It would not be meaningless as the play offs are renowned for they brilliant games. The challenge cup has been messed about and that hasn’t lost any of its magic. You still get to win a nice trophy at the end of this mid season play offs.

how do you qualify for the play-offs? surely in the current system, the 2 stages of the competition work as 1 - in yours we would have 2 completely seperate competitions.

Cant believe i actually bothered to reply to this thread. :roll:

they are renowned for being brilliant games because there is a years work riding on them. it would become meaningless friendlies because clubs would rest players to keep them fit for the end of season run in.

The super league weekly rounds come to a standstill midseason to make way for the play offs system. The bottom six get a mid season break whilst the top eight battle it out in the play offs like we do. Once the plays offs have finished its back to the weekly rounds and a race to the top spot.

I think this will make the play offs better as it’ll be played in sunshine and the top spot respectable once again.

What do you think?

You just have too much time on your hands - the funny thing is you have thought this through in your brainbox

and still posted it!!!

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

I have it on good authority that this idea is being considered by the RFL as we speak

Lets face it , they're full of daft idea's as it is , another one will just add to the ' vibrantcey ' of the season :lol:

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!
