Play off are exciting and bring in much needed revenue for both club and for the RFU as a whole.
But certainly there should be some separation between League and Playoff. Separate Cups perhaps. I don't really know. But ye its a little unfair to have it taken away from you in a one off game if you have earned the title.
Room for both is say bit in a revised structure.
I like the playoffs, i think they help balance out the effect of teams with lots of internationals who are away from their clubs for long spells of the league. I also think they're exciting and as Ding says, make much needed revenue for the clubs.
I could countenance something like a points handicap in the matches based upon the points difference in the league or something similar but I'd definitely keep the current system.
Sporty
I cant see a handicap system coming in if im honest. That would result in all kinds of arguments from every corner. Only thing i could see happen would be something like the 6 Nations and the triple crown. Where the league is the Big one and the play off is the second trophy up for grabs. Certainly it would make the fans happy to be playing for extra silverware and gives you two big celebration days depending on what happens.
