....considering the penalties are enforced (with everyone else) the season following in 2018...then yes. It helped Wigan by getting home advantage in the semi final vs Cas by getting home advantage in the S8 vs Cas...!
Had those 2 points came off when the should have...I've a argument to say Cas may have beaten Wigan then in the S8 and then again in the semifinal.
Setting up a Wire vs Cas final.
