Leeds Rhinos boss backs Super League play-offs change
An expanded play-offs series is being considered as a way of easing the strain on Betfred Super players and creating more meaningful - and better quality - matches for the rest of this season.
There is a growing feeling in the game the number of fixtures being crammed into a short space of time not only puts players’ health at risk, but also lessens the quality of rugby on show.
One solution would be to reduce the number of regular season matches and expand the play-offs, from top-four into a six-team competition, using a format where the leading sides have byes and a second chance if they lose their opening tie.
