Quote ="Judder Man"How would people see the play offs if 8th place reaches the final.'"
Brilliant.
Quote ="Judder Man"We could for instance have the possibility of Wakefield there against Wigan.
A team who will have lost 3 times as many games and almost only have half the match points of Wigan, given the opportunity to be Superleague champions.'"
A team who also would have (to get to the final) won three elimination matches, in consecutive weeks, away from home, against teams who finished in the top five places in the league. If they were to win at Old Trafford they would then have won four eliminations matches, in consecutive weeks, away from home, beating the four of the top five top placed teams the league. That is a feat worthy of champions.
Conversely should Wigan lose this hypothetical final they would have proven themselves unworthy of the title of Super League Champions. Just as all those teams who failed to make the final would have done.
