Quote: amberavenger "The problem with that though is that more often than not, to finish 3rd we're probably going to have to beat a SL team along the way aren't we? Tough ask to finish 3rd with just 6 points, would have to be a bizzare set of results for that to happen? I'd have thought there was more chance of a Championship team winning the MPG (again long odds I agree). With finishing third you are banking on two SL clubs having stinkers and finishing below us and presumably losing to at least one championship team on the way. I'll admit you are better at this stuff than me, but seems unlikely'"
We don't really disagree at all, it's just I view the chances of winning the MPG as nil, so that's why however slim the chances of auto promotion may be, they're not (quite) nil. We beat Salford last time round (though if we played tomorrow, they'd put 70 on us)
