Minor point, but in your signature you ref the SL Leaders Shield, but not the old League Leaders shield (Championship) from 72/3. You might want to add in-but save til Saturday night and kill two birds with one edit

And go back a few more years and the vast majority of Champions in RL history have been decided by playoffs and a final - just like we did in 1955. It is not, despite popular myth, an idea dreamt up by Sky.



The premiership was top 8.

What about further back, when the team that won the playoffs and Championship final were Champions, like we did in 1955?
