We're down to the business end of the season. It's semi-final time and one thing's for sure - we all have an opinion on who will achieve Grand Final glory.
Tell us here!

It will be a Storm vs Dragons Grand Final - the mighty Saints will exact revenge on the Storm's victory in 1999, where they 'stole' the grand final with a penalty try.

When will the NRL get rid of the current system?
I've been developing a new system that rewards the minor premiers and removes the ridiculous situation like this weekend where the Warriors have a home final for coming 8th.
At the completion of the regular season, teams are seeded from 1 to 8. (No change)
In week 1 of the finals, Team 1 and 2 get the bye.
The games are
- 5v6 (Friday Night),
- 4v7 (Sat Night),
- 3v8 (Sun Afternoon)
Of these games, the two lowest ranked teams are eliminated.
The teams are then ranked again from 1 to 6.
In Week 2 of the finals, the games are:
- 3v4 (Friday Night),
- 2v5 (Sat Night)
- 1v6 (Sun Afternoon)
Of these games, the two lowest ranked teams are eliminated. The minor premiers cannot be eliminated from this round. A reward for finishing first.
In Week 3 of the finals, the games are
- 2v3 (Sat)
- 1v4 (Sun)
Two winners make it to the Grand Final.
So in the case where team 8 won last weekend. This weekend's game would have been -
Melbourne vs Roosters
Manly vs Cronulla
Brisbane vs Warriors

Why don't they get us to change the time forward an hour at 4pm on a Friday! They always have to find a way to make the weekend shorter! Regards Frank Rizzo!
