Wigsy,
it's not about being annoyed that we have to play lower teams, it's
that we couldn't play better teams. And on the note of splitting the tour
I would ask the question of where is the spirit in the top 8 teams turning
aroung to the others and saying "Sorry, you're not good enough to deserve
to play us". The good thing about tour games was that at the start ANYONE
had the possibility to win. ok it was never going to happen, but at least
if you played your best you could get a game against one of the top teams
and get some experience and respect. Nothing fires up a 'lesser' team more
than scoring a few points on a top team and it can realy bring the best
out in people. Spirit is something that seems to be lacking in the higher
positions: spirit changes from being "playing to enjoy the game" to "not
getting arsey when someone calls a foul on you". If you split the tour so
that not everyone can win I think you will loose interest from some of the
'lower' teams: nobody wants to go if the highest you can ever finnish -
even if you win all of your games by a huge margin (BAF) - is 9th, or even
17th if it is further split. Where is your spirit 'top' teams??????
