    Its a top 6 + 4 teams fighting for 2 wildcard spots. So 10 teams total.

    I would prefer a top 6

    Then 4 teams randomly drawn out of a fucking hat to play off for the 2 wild card spots

    How is it a wildcard? isn't it just teams 9 and 10?

    No. It's 9 & 10 playing 7 & 8 which is wild because you don't know who will win and play 5 & 6 in the first week of the finals.

    It's the Ice theory on steroids

    That's really not a wild card.... it's just an extra couple of games that include two more teams?

    And i always thought Ice was on ice when he came up with that system, not steroids Wink

    exactly its not a wildcard at all - its just making a playoff for sports 7&8 between 7,8,9,10.
    Its literally just adding an extra week to the finals.

    ...That's exactly what a "wildcard" is. Teams on the bubble of qualification playing off for the chance to take part in the finals series.

    I’d rather two leagues with relegation and promotion. The current clubs are artificially supported and really don’t have anything to lose.

    its just adding a 7&8th playoff by adding 9&10. Its shit.
    Would be better if the playoff for 7/8 was with random teams IMO

    F*cksake. Don't put me on the same side of an argument as Pieman, i feel dirty Wink

    it's not a wildcard. It's extending the ladder 2 places, and the finals an extra game or two.

    Now i have to go re-evaluate all Piemans posts for possible other common sense. Why would you do that to me? Smile

    Giving 9 and 10 a shot at finals was never in the plan of the Ice system. 7 v 8 in a knockout in week one IS a great idea, as is the Ice system. Seriously, who can argue with a system that rewards the top 2 significantly mOre than the next 4, then ensures the last two in the 8 have the toughest time with only 1 a chance of advancing?

    Please don't compare this latest NRL proposal, to the MightyIce System.

    If they insist on a top 10 (which they won’t), just have the old system the has when there were 20 teams in the comp pre super league and have two lots of the old 5 team McIntyre system.

    Shanbon, if you're not across the delights of the Ice system, I'm not sure you ever will be!!

    I'm sure someone can dig it up though.
