The ARL used it until 1995 when they changed to the top 8.It's designed that if you finish 4th or 5th you basically have to beat everyone to earn a GF win.
JRL uses the top 5 system.
In 1994 we were the minor premiers so had a bye week 1. Beat Canberra 19-18 in week 2. By the time we had to play the GF we had played 1 game in a month. That's why Canberra beat us so easy I believe.
