Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
My idea for the Super 8's wasn't to quash or amend points at the end of the regular season.
But make the Super 8's double point matches.
Warrington 45
Hull Fc 42
Wigan 40
St Helens 40
Castleford 33
Catalans 30
Widnes 28
Wakefield 20
Now this wouldn't have made a world of difference in the way it is, as Saints have performed well and deserved a top 4 spot in the Super 8's. But it'd still gives teams chances of making up the ground quicker, if they beat the fellow "Top" sides, while still rewarding a strong regular season
I firmly believe this is the way it should happen.

How would double points make a difference? When the top sides won again they'd get 4'points too.....??dettoriman wrote:My idea for the Super 8's wasn't to quash or amend points at the end of the regular season.

Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
It means that's we could still make the top 4 with 3 games to go rather than finishing outside for definite mean less dead rubbers and bigger crowds.Mysterio wrote:How would double points make a difference?

Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
Not quite as nice to look at this week, but I've updated the tables as per above.
If all teams restarted on 0 points.
If teams started on points based on their regular season finishing position.

Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
I have no problem with the top eight, the rules are set before we kick a ball, as far as anti climax as always I will be sorry for the season to end but the players need to rest their bodies, after the Widnes match I will be looking forward to the friendly's I hope we have an home on boxing day

St Helens would have finished 1st under all 3 scenarios.
We would have finished 4th if points were reset or if the Top 4 teams started on 4/3/2/1 only.

Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
Lenaghan does have a point.
This was I think the 5th time Huddersfield have finished bottom but only relegated once

Re: Super 8s, Anti-Climax!
Wonder if Lenaghen is against the super 8s now since Wigan are SL champions but didn't finish top of the League?
