The Raiders when down by double digits simply give up, they seriously just give up.
If the Rabbits win by 1 or 2, it is very very possible...
I give the bunnys a big chance, going to be very hard for the Knights to get up emotionally after surrendering a 22-6 lead.

Guys, correct me if i am wrong, but teams that finished on 8th spot or 5th spot (whatever the qualifying rank for the finals was), the teams would have a playoff game for the final spot. ie, for and against could never knock you out off the finals.
I am sure the tigers played the eels many many years ago and the bulldogs played the magpies a fair few years ago as well.
My question is, who the f### changed that rule and why?
Arguments for......
The team that finishes higher in for and against gets to host the game.
I guarantee it would almost be a sell out. Extra revenue for the clubs and the league. Another bonanza game for the broadcaster.
Arguments against, the team that wins would amost certainly get bashed the week after as they would have played 3 games in 5-6 days...
But overall, i think it would create excitement like it did back in the time and be great for the league...
Thoughts.

Warren Ryan System, that was rejected by NRL in 2.003
Week 1 (same matches in AFL)
1 vs 4
2 vs 3
5 vs 8
6 vs 7
Highest ranked winner advances to week 3 (1,2 or 3)
Lowest ranked loser eliminated (6,7 or 8)
Week 2
Top 4 lowest loser vs Bottom 4 highest winner
Top 4 highest loser vs Bottom 4 lowest winner
Top 4 lowest winner vs Bottom 4 highest loser
Losers are eliminated
Week 3
Highest winner (week 1) vs lowest winner (week 2)
Highest winner (week 2) vs 2nd highest winner (week 2)
Losers are eliminated
Week 4
Grand Final
It gives an advantage to minor premier, that´s the one team that can advance to preliminary if wins regardless other results (2 or 3 must win and that 4 beats 1).
The major cons are, that 4 or 5 just play week 1 for to get an easy opponent in week 2 (they can´t achieve a bye, they can´t be eliminated, and 4 always plays at home in week 2 and 5 away regardless the result.
The other con is that if 5 beats 8, loser in match between 6 and 7 would advance to semis
