What advantage do the Minor Premiers get by playing a harder game in week 1 of the finals than teams 5, 6, 7, and 8?
. Team 5 gets the easiest first round game? WTF!
@Silvertails unchanged - played in "home cities" in weeks one and two. So Manly would play at SFS again. Home regions in week 3
.
The advantage is they (Team 1) can't be kncoked out week 1. Team 5 can be if they lose.

firechild said:Top 5 was absolutely better. Minor prem only had to win 1 game to make the GF, anyone else had to beat the minor pre to win the comp. Can't see any flaws in that except the $ generated by 9 games v 6.
No matter what system they use, it will always favour out of Sydney sides who actually get to use their home grounds in weeks 1 and 2. Under the new system team 1 has absolutely no advantage if both they and team 4 are from Sydney. Same goes for 2v3.
