[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 520024, member: 20605"] Not sure I agree that this is necessary. There is a way that teams can avoid a lot of travel at the play off stages.... make sure that they finish better than fifth or sixth. Adding a one week delay would work too much to the advantage of the lower placed teams because the higher placed teams would have a two week break, which I am not sure they would want. Maintaining focus would be difficult. Travel is a fact of life in a cross-borders competition that spans the globe. The teams know its a factor adn that they simply have to deal with it, the way the Crusaders did last year. After all the tens of thousands of air miles they clocked up with no home games at all, they still came within an ace of winning the ***le; one piece of sheer brilliance by Will Genia twelve minutes from the end being the difference.
