Buzz Rothfield revealed on Triple M’s Saturday Scrum that there’s growing support for the 7th-10th placed teams to have a playoff weekend the week before the finals begin.
“Wildcard weekend, it’s getting support around the game for teams 7th to 10th the weekend before finals.” said Rothfield.

Why don’t we just have the old style top 10 finals from 1998 instead, or a 10 team finals where teams 1 & 2 have the week off and play the current week 1 for teams 2-10, then week 2 of the finals would see teams 1 & 2 back with 2 teams eliminated,and play week 1 of the finals again.
