Think they were the only team outside the top 2 to make a final under the top 6 also?
From 1998 to 2008 we had Top 5/6 playoffs.
In 11 seasons the GF was
1st vs 2nd - 9 times
1st vs 3rd - once
2nd vs 3rd - once
Whilst I liked top 5/6 this is also the reason it was changed because as per usual fans of certain clubs complained because the GF was nearly always the top 2 (and the usual suspects of Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Bradford) and that it was too difficult for teams lower down to reach the GF. Change it up and then fans complain the top two should get more of an advantage.
Basically whatever system we use people will complain and criticise and that’s why it changes every few years. I guarantee that if we see a repeat of consistent 1st vs 2nd GF’s we’ll see some fans complaining about it after a few years.
