| Quote tb="tb"except the winnersof the 2/3 playoff [i can't[/i pick the winners of the other week 1 game - they only get to choose btween the two winners of the week 2 games. Read the email in the OP and wellsy's post ( esp the bit on bold) again.
I think part of the problem is some people have decided it's complicated and are creating their own problems with understanding it even when it's explained clearly'" I did read it but missed that part

| I've no intention of even trying to understand it - much more exciting to not have a clue as to what's going on.

| Quote rhinofox="rhinofox"This explains the system perfectly well, I dont know how some people can still not understand how it works.
I like it, its better than the old top 6 which had 1st playing 2nd who went straight into the final to play each other again.
I like the idea of teams choosing who they play as well, form teams are not always the highest ranked.'"
I agree. It's not like the playoff idea is new, they;ve just stuck a couple of extra teams in so it had to shuffled but works for me.
Picking the team is straight after the week 2 game as well.

| Quote D.D.="D.D."Thanks to Craig Spence of the RFL, we've got this one all tied up
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi David,
We have a press release on the very subject due out next week.
The two winners in Week 1 cannot play each other in Week 3. Therefore Saints would not be able to choose Leeds proving both win in Week 1. The winning team from Week 1 with the highest league ranking can only choose from the winners of week 2.
If Saints were to win in week 1 and Leeds lose, then Saints could decide to pick them.
On current league placings if HKR were to beat Saints and then play each other in Week 3 then HKR would have home advantage.
Hope this helps
Craig'" this is a great poster

| Trying to explain the play offs to a few non rugby supporters they were not impressed. One guy said if they applied this to a tennis final, you would have a 5 set final, one competitor winning the first 3 sets then the competion organizer says play off another final set winner takes all.
If all the home teams in the play offs win there 1st round games, the home teams win there 2nd round games. Would Leeds and St Helens have to beat Huddersfield and Hull KR twice, if so isn,t once enough.

| It would have been better to have the winners of the games between 1v4 and 2v3 play each other in week three, with the winner going to the GF and the loser playing against the winner of the other week three game (between the week two winners) in week four.
That way all of the top 4 are guaranteed a second bite of the cherry and there isn't anyone choosing opponents, which a lot of people are having trouble understanding.

| my biggest issue with the new system is that even if Leeds and Saints win this weekend, they then can lose to the same teams in 2 weeks and miss out on the final. There is no real benefit to finishing higher up the league.

Except that the top four get two chances, the winners in the first week from the top four get a week off, and those finishing higher in the league play at home. No benefit at all, really.

| It could end up with Leeds choosing HKR again and Saints having to play Hudds again in games g and h (i.e. a repeat of the first week matches) with the winners to the Grand Final!!!!
Week 1
a) Leeds v HKR
b) Saints v Hudds
c) Wakey v Catalans
d) Wigan v Cas
Week 2
e) Hudds v Wigan
f) HKR v Wakey
Week 3
g) Leeds v HKR
h) Saints v Hudds
GF - Leeds v Saints

I thought they were not allowed to chose the team they have already played or is it that they cannot pick the other winner in WK1?

the top ranked team in the semi cannot choose the 2nd rank team in the semi - i.e. the other winner from week 1.
IMO Leeds will have the choice of playing Saints or Hull KR in the semi final - and will choose to play Saints, leaving Hull KR and Hudds to battle it out for the other GF spot.
