If I've said it once I've said it a hundred times…this McIntyre system stinks.
How is it the Saints win the minor premiership and are now on a worse scenario than the Eels who finished 8th. It just doesn't make sense.
Surely one of these so called geniuses in the NRL can work out that when the AFL gave the system the rissole and came up with a better one then we should've done the same!!!
I'm not for a moment suggesting Parra don't deserve to be where they are. They just won and let the rules work themselves out but do St George deserve to be headed to Brisbane?
Anyway the Dragons now have to go there and equally the Titans come down here to face Parra. Both games should be played but a simple change to the rule is this.
If a team loses in the first week but finished in the top 4 then they still retain home ground advantage in the 2nd week of the finals....if it’s a team outside the top 4 then those rules don't apply.
Brisbane and Parra still play their respective opponents but they do the travelling not the 1st placed Saints or the 3rd placed Titans.
Anyway enough of my bleat. I really think it will be a case of Melbourne and Canterbury playing in the finals anyway so watch these games this week be a bash a thon and then next week a refreshed Dogs and Storm will carve both teams up whoever they play.
The Broncos can’t win 9 in a row and that's what they are faced with to get to the grand final. So even if they win this week...a trip down to Melbourne will be too tough although after last year they may have extra incentive.
And Parra surely can’t keep the fairy tale going..or can they???
And in case you forgot these were my exclusive tips for last week were...
Melbourne
Titans
Newcastle
Dragons
Yep 1 out of 4 so don't go putting your hard earned cash on whatever I say because I officially have no clue!!!
In fact a quick look back at my tips over the past month would mean most of us are in the poor house big time…I'm sorry and I apologise. I am a dud tipster.
But given there is only 3 weeks left it seems silly not to have a crack for the final few games don't you think?? Better yet, wait till I tip, and bet on everything else that way you are assured of winning.
