Quote ="Dropkick Murphy"Out of interest, how did the old top five play off system work? I know top six was week one: 3V6, 4V5; week two: 1V2, winners from week one (highest ranked home); week three: loser 1V2 match V winner other. That system wasn't perfect (I don't like any second chance matches or repeat fixtures) but was in my opinion better than the current format. Warrington never qualified for the play offs when it was top five though, so I never paid any attention and can't remember how it worked.'"
Top five was:
Wk1, 1st get week off, 2v3, 4v5
Wk2, A (1st v (2v3 winners)), B (2v3 losers v 4v5 winners)
Wk3, A winners get week off, C (A losers v B winners)
Final - A winners v C winners
Still quite complicated!
