Would the leagues be more competitive if we took away the "as long as we get to the play offs "mentality ?.And winning the league meant something as now means nothing, as in most sports you win the league and prove over a season you are worthy champions.Wonder how Stephen Lambert feels rides for two teams who finish top of their leagues and wins nothing !.There are cup and shield competitions ,fours ,pairs and riders championships.So no shortage of other competitions to generate income.
