Just found it intersting that its not what the Grade 1 trophy has on it?
the shared premiership was a joke , im glad the trophy reflects this , draw or tie the higher team on the ladder wins pretty simple really
Why? Neither side won and the game was played out. If it was rained out or heated out it's a different story, but things were sorted out on the field that neither team was better than the other on the day.
hence the higher team wins , a tie was good enough for autralia to go thru to final against south africa in 99 world cup because they earnt that right just like R&C did
A tie is not a win, so please stop saying as much.
Teams don't win any no result, draw or tie. But when you have a situation like a semi final you can't just have neither team or both teams go through. And if you don't have the option of replaying the game or some sort of tie break mechanism in place you've got to decide most fairly who should be the team to go through.
A grand final though you don't have the need for someone to go through, because there's nothing to go through to. If it's no result the team placed higher gets it as a reward for finishing higher I guess you can call it. But if there is a result then the result is what decides the premiers.
I thought it was a reasonably simple concept, but apparently not for some.
