If anything winning this season will mean more.

There is less margin for error with less rounds each game means more, see the NFL for example.

I think the NRL should think about slowly removing the rounds, and potentially if we are in a position to expand (and not broke) with the next tv rights deal (if FTA channels are still solvent) they should aim for 18 teams but less rounds.

The NFL games means more because half the comp doesn't make the finals.
