Had Jordan Tansey's Magic weekend try vs the Bulls hadn't been given we could've finished 3rd......never having that ding-dong 8-6 belter vs Saints in the playoffs and who then knows if we even reach let alone win the GF.......if not then Tony Smith's spell in charge would've been viewed differently had he not added to the 2004 success.
Had Lee Smith's 2nd try in the 2009 GF not been given then maybe we don't win the hat trick title.
Had Peacock and McGuire not suffered hose serious knee injuries in 2010 then maybe it'd have been 4 on the trot and perhaps McDermott doesn't struggle so badly at the start of 2011 when they miss the first part of the season.
Had Tom Briscoe not dropped that ball vs Catalans in the 2014 playoffs then maybe we go on in the playoffs and it's not a Saints vs Wigan final and Ben Flower doesn't become public enemy number 1?
As a hypothetical question its perfectly valid, and I'm sure the answer would be that in the alternative scenario for last year with this year as is, BM would have gone some time ago.
As for luck, that makes a difference at the margins, but you have to be close enough for it to matter. Also McGuire's chip wasn't luck - it was skill from him and Hall reading it that enabled it to happen.
