Seems the roosters are twice as unpopular as the Dogs.
One of the best posts in the history of LU.BringBackBalmain! said:7th place winning the title just rewards mediocrity. if it were my own team i'd be loving it, but if a team can make the finals with a .500 record, let alone a grand final, then whats the point of home and away rounds? where is there any advantage in playing meaningless matches in the first week if both the winner and the loser are in exactly the same position the week after?
Either teh AFl system or more in favour for me as it doesnt promote mediocrity...Top 5. Unfortunately there isnt enough money in a Top 5 scenario any more.BringBackBalmain! said:so melon you'd prefer a finals system similar to the current AFL one?
when the crows won back to back flags from 4th, and then 5th AFTER LOSING IN THE FIRST WEEK everybody just said 'hang on this system just doesn't work at all' and they fixed it up. the fact that every final gets played in sydney after the end of the first week might defeat the purpose in terms of home finals etc, but at least it takes away the chance for 5th and 6th to go straight to a preliminary with 1 win and a few upsets. I remember last year tearing my hair out as the panthers charged back against the broncos to deny the SIXTH PLACED storm a prelim final in the first week.
