They should reduce ticket prices by 20% compared to normal weekly round gate prices. And for ST holders entry be half price for the stand you're in (£9 for many adults at wigan)

Wigan should have played Warrington... the winner to the GF the loser to a GF playoff... let the other 6 teams battle it out for the right to play Wigan (or warrington)

3 v 4
5 v 6

winner v winner

winner v wigan/warrington playoff

or something.

But why use that concept when there are other, much more complicated ways of structuring the playoffs. Why on Earth would the RFL structure the playoffs sensibly or most fairly to the teams that have been consistently better than the opposition all season. :wink: :lol:

The GF and playoff concept is just marketing, pure and simple. The allure of the CC is vastly diminished now and it's seen almost as the League Cup is, in football. ie, a minor / nothing competition, by the RFL and seemingly Sky, which is understandable, if not annoying, because they have nothing to do with it. :angry:
