| I dont suppose when he was a Bulls player they ever won a major game with a dodgy ref decision?
Well it certainly went to the last minute, every one does matter

| Unlucky Bulls. Great game. I said at the time should have gone for the try instead of the kick at the end, just never fancied him to get it under the pressure.
Lowes should probably have declined an interview at the end there and allowed himself a little time to reflect on things and cool down a bit, i'm sure he is regretting saying a few of those things on camera right now.

| Pulling out the old 'the rules that we decided on at the start of the season haven't worked out for us so it's not fair' card.
What was the penalty count out of interest?

| So overall, the Middle 8's a pointless exercise!

| If the million pound games continue in that vein it's a very worthwhile exercise imo.

Don’t be too downhearted kids, at least you’ll get your usual points haul next season now .

| Quote: WireWireWire "I actually feel for Lowes and completely understand his annoyance at the disallowed try. The ball bounces off his chest and his hands are nowhere near the ball and yet it's given a knock on. Where is the difference between that and when somebody uses their body to stop a ball before picking it up after it's been kicked to them by the opposing team? When that happens they get to play on yet if it happens when you're attacking it's considered a dropped ball? How about last year when Monaghan was awarded a try after Myler chucked the ball at Currie's head? It then bounced forward 10 metres for Joel to score. Try given. What really is the difference between a ball unknowingly hitting your head and unknowingly hitting your chest while your arms are down? Not enough imo.'"
It hit his shoulder not his chest. That's why it was given as a knock on.

| The million pound game and the playoffs seem to have worked. The middle 8's will probably benefit the championship sides for next year and the rest of SL will probably learn that they need to get up to speed quicker to be in the running for the middle 8's.
It's not been a roaring success, but neither has it been a flop.
I'd give the system an average rating for its first year

| In July I predicted that SL in 2016 would be the same as 2015
I will also state that the SL semi finals in 2016 will between Leeds, Wigan, St Helens plus a wannabee but never will be team.
You all should be able to work out why that will be the case.
Enjoy the Grand Final.

Because the rest generally have lower expectations.

| James Lowes wins the award for most embarrassing post match interview of all time.
Eat your heart out Kevin Keegan. LOVE IT!

I thought he was gonna mention Chris Joynt's voluntary tackle at one point.

Why was it?
It's got a lot of people talking about the championship and viewing it in a more positive light.
As a result, if I read it right then Sky will be broadcasting live championship games next season.
The atmosphere at Belle Vue today won't have been bettered anywhere in the country this weekend in any sport.
That was one of the best finishes to a game, that doesnt' include Leeds, that you'll see all season.
Just because the best of the championship weren't good enough for SL this year doesn't mean it's pointless. It's shown those clubs that they need to improve and it's also, hopefully, given a kick up the backside to SL clubs like Wakefield who've been coasting for too long.
Well done RFL. More of the same next year but please change the signing deadline.

| The sad part for Lowes is that having watched the game back on TV when I got home, he was wrong about both of those calls.
He should have declined an interview until he'd had chance to gather his thoughts.
