It is true that as far as prize money in concerned Rovers finished 6th, but imo the league doesn't lie especially now without the lop sided fixtures of recent years. I would say Rovers finished 4th in all honesty and therefore are a top 4 club.
I know SKY don't like it, but I think the best way to view it is with the league and playoffs as two separate competitions. Finishing 4th in the league is a good achievement, finishing 6th in the playoffs not so much.
It's a good point about the league placings having more validity nowadays with a straightforward fixture list. I'd like to see more kudos given to the team finishing top as a result.

Pretty much.

Think you'll find Rovers won £xxxxx amount of prize money for their 4th/6th place finish, Hull didn't get any prize money so effectively finished joint last in the competition
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
