This play offs are just a money grabbing exercise.

In fact under the current system only Hunslet are classed as a champion side and the rest are irrelevant until a knock out system arrives.

If there was scenario where all the teams didn't play each other home and away I can see the relevance to a point but the teams do so a knock out tournament is an add on to give no hopers and their followers a chance to fork out yet again.

And yes the Cougars have benefitted twice from these ridiculous scenarios but it still dosn't make it right in my eyes.

Could you imagine them doing it in Premier Mo & Rons Ball game!!!

Oh well - congrats Wigan.
