[QUOTE="OneBlackEye, post: 807506, member: 59779"] Well as fans we all want a fair competition that decides who the best team is. That is the whole point. I hate the idea of "Well, thats just the way it is!" I dont want my team to lose that way but I also dont want my team to win that way either. If all the NZ teams fall apart in the future I wouldn't take much joy watching the Chiefs play their semi final at home if it was so obviously undeserved. Its embarrassing. Im not sure I like the idea of modeling our competition on North American sport either. We are still relatively new to this whole professional thing and like the idea that most of the players on our teams come from that area or at least that country. Its also important for growing players for our national teams, something the NFL, NHL or MLB dont have to worry about. They are mostly focused on money and entertainment. That difference seems to be tearing SR apart. [/QUOTE]
