Just heard @NRL are going to play 10 teams in the semi finals in 2010. Wildcard Weekend. Rewards mediocrity. Don’t like it. Team that finishes 10 of 16 should never ever have an opportunity to win a comp😧😧😧

Even allowing for the lure of a Wildcard Weekend.. I just don't see fans stampeding the turnstiles to watch 11th versus 12th in round 24. @NRL

Why don’t they include a team from outside the NRL in their wildcard? Enga Mioks would go on a run I reckon.

NRL reaching peak bullshit…10 team finals 😂😂😂 almost as bad as six team finals in A-League

Or… Maybe every team and player should get a trophy at the end of the year so no one gets upset?

Wildcard Weekend has copped a bit of a battering on social media tonight. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I don’t have an issue with it. Top 8, top 10, what’s the diff???

I’ve long been in favour of a wildcard in finals series but I wouldn’t limit it to teams 9 & 10. There’s always a team which makes a charge from way back in the last third of season who you think could do more damage in the finals than a team which limps in.
