Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

If we have to have playoffs, then the top 6 format needs to come back. With 14 teams, 6 is about right. You want the playoffs to be the elite, not the average. Everyone understood the top 6, and it was very advantageous to the top 2 which is what everyone wants so that there is more pressure on the league games. Under the top 8 format, finish 4th, win 1 game, and you get a home semi final. Totally not right. />
If we have to stick to top 8, then the NRL system is needed. Personally i think the RFL will give the current system one more year then revert to the NRL system. Also scraps the ridiculous 'club call' |

What should have happened this week is Saints being at home to Leeds, with the winner going to the Grand Final, and Wigan being at home to Huddersfield. Next week the loser of the Saints-Leeds game would then be at home to the winner of the Wigan-Huddersfield game with the winner of that going to the Grand Final. />
It would mean a five week playoff but this way all the top 4 would get two bites of the cherry and there would be no need for the clubcall. |

Quote ="Dico"Right to the bloke above, this is the AFL system, I would prefer the NRL system but ours is the evolution of that. />
If you want to give a much bigger benefit to the team finishing first have a top 7 where; first gets a bye 2v7, 3v6, 4v5 and straight to the semis 1st plays lowest ranked winner, cuts a week from the season and fairer all round imo. />
Lastly how can someone complain about repeat fixtures then propose returning to the top 6??? that was the biggest waste of time because of that issue... madness.'" />
Ive been pushing this idea for a while top half finish is better, no repeat games and chops a week off the season with every game an eliminator, it makes a lot of sense & I'd keep clubcall.
