Just for all you I'll informed keyboard warriors making claims about Widnes:

We did beat a SL team to get to the semi final (Salford away)

Scraped into the play offs ? In fact we made the play offs by quite a bit and we were never out of the top 8 all year - some achievement for a club who finished bottom 2 years ago

Not made strives with the academy ? The only teams who were voted to have a better academy were St Helens and Wigan, this years two Grand finalists. We were tied with Warrington just behind. Another great effort

The fans situation was horrendous for the club. However we reacted with great professionalism in eradicating these fans and banning them, apart from that we have some of the best fans (true fans) in the league. Definitely the loudest and the only ones creating an atmosphere on the first day of the magic weekend

I as many of you were surprised by this vote, really didn't see it coming at all but just because you disagree with it, don't be naive to the fact what Wisnes have achieved in the last 3 years. Were a club on the rise

Pretty sure Scully P is one of them.

He does however, play for the 6th placed SL club...

...but unlike some of the others, he has actually won some silverware this year.

I think you may have missed my point.

The esteemed Mr Eve thinks that JP shouldn't have been in with a shout of MoS due to playing for the '7th placed SL club' (which is Leeds, going on the play-off positions)

I was saying that does Clark really have such a bigger case for winning the award when his side finished one place higher in 6th? (again, using William's criteria)

Thanks for explaining what you meant. It was confused by the fact that Leeds were actually the 6th placed SL club.

...the play-offs are different competition, altogether.
