Apart from Halifax we've beaten or lost by only two points to all of the teams finishing in places 1 to 7 , taking that into consideration surely there is a massive argument that despite our league standing we could feasibly , looking at those stats , have been in the position of having a an outside chance that we made the play off final and were , shades of 95 here , if you take its to its conclusion ,denied a SL place .
All hypothetical of course but ..... Thoughts chaps ??
not really relevent as winner of play off final doesnt get promoted this year. Your league finishing position is more important as that determines your funding for next year.
