It Could Have Been So Different For the Qualifiers Super 8s the points slate was wiped clean at the end of the opening part of the season giving the sides a level playing field for the remaining seven games of the season. While the Super League sides came through the field to finish in the top four spots, with Hull KR, Widnes and Salford guaranteeing themselves top flight rugby next season the Wakefield Wildcats have a home play-off against the Bulls in the Million Pound Game on Saturday afternoon.
In the Super League Super 8’s the top four sides at the split, finished as the top four sides overall and gained themselves a semi-final place, albeit with the order of finish changed. This was predominantly due to the points for the first half of the season being carried forward, giving an advantage to the sides who had competed well all year.
But what if the Super League Super 8s had been played with all sides starting on zero, would things have been any different?
