Watching NRL... we should bring it back.

Obviously the format is the problem so i propose this:

Played 2nd week of finals (bit of a dud weekend really)

Players from top 6 teams still left in finals dont play obviously 

Doesnt matter so much if a player gets injured as its the end of the season and they cant win the flag anyway

Ok so the best players from those 6 teams miss out but id rather have the big V back

Re the allies - sod them off.

Play it like the country leagues play against eachother. 

SStates ranked 1v2 play off for trophy

3v4 for right to play the number 1 team the following year

5v6 for the right to play in 3v4 game

Etc.

Win go up, lose go down.

Just my thoughts

    The problem with the NRL is that the state of origin series is seen as its 'grand final'.

    Last years Grand Final was way better than the AFL one though!

    Stopped reading there.

    Every year SOO in NRL is played a thread starts up for a recall of SOO. It doesn't work these days anymore. 

    And to call our 2nd week of the finals series a dud weekend...wow.

    You can't manufacture SOO. It ether works or it doesn't. In Today's AFL climate it doesn't work

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
