Souths. Good post,but dont you feel this is the penalty of not having promotion and relegation. A few seasons ago wakey played cas last match with the loser being relegated,and 12,000 people attended,fantastic atmosphere. Imagine what the attendence would be without anything at stake.Call me old fashioned but give me promotion and relegation every time.I see the benefit of the franchise system but its not for me,give teams a target to play for not a comfort zone for 3 years.!
You're old fashioned cravenred. Promotion relegation prioduces yo-yo teams who are unable to establish in the top flight. Cas are a case in point. They were up and down but now are a midtable team and probably unlucky not to be going to Wembly. That is how far they have come.
Some seasons you have it going to the wire, others not. The NRL had a season where some teams stood out, others struggled.
I've never experienced promotion/relegation but I do like it in football premier league, but I feel they have the quality and numbers for it to be a success and I'm not a lover of knowing the winner some 6-8 weeks out from the end of the season.
On the other end (relegation I do love the contest from them looking down the barrel of being dropped.
This season re; the NRL is a one in ten year event and I can live with that.
Raycee. That is the nicest thing anyone has said about me.! lol.
