Hull FC • TV Games - Not Hull

Rovers apart , I think it should be one thing that’s changed because to win the league means your the best team in the comp over the full season , we was all chatting about it at work yesterday to be fair and I dont care that rovers are in the mix for it but the league leaders/winners in my eyes should be more recognised . Maybe im old fashioned .
The problem is that, unlike the period 1974 - 97, everybody's fixture list is different in terms of who you play over the course of the year. In 2024, for instance, both rovers and Warrington had a third game against both London and ourselves where as Wigan didn't (not sure who their loop games were against).
Having the league winners being declared Champions only works with an even fixture list across the competition, i.e. the 'football' model. We would need to scrap the play-offs and go back to a pre-SL league structure in order to make the 'league winners' the correctly crowned champions and I'm not sure the clubs are in favour of that.
