[QUOTE="TRF_melon, post: 625728, member: 12250"] With regards to the top 6 playoff or similar, implementing it would be near impossible due to TV rights. The TV rights for the NRL and ESL run out at the conclusion of the 2017 and 2021 season respectively. The only way an idea like this would be feasible would be if the regular season were to be shortened and I highly doubt either league or broadcaster would agree to this. However, attempting to harmonise the seasons would certainly be a goer if a 'super-bowl' idea was to be explored. The NRL would have to lead the way during the next TV rights negotiation and have the ESL follow years later, with a start in 2022. I highly doubt either competition would be willing to give more than receive for the 'good of the game'. [/QUOTE]
