Quote: glow "As far as I know the Championships are based on, on field performance ie the P&R we all crave for, nothing to do with any other criteria.
If Oldham had won the GF they'd be in the championship, and no one would be complaining.'"
erm..but they didn't. And is finishing third in Champ 1 better than finishing 8th (assuming a 9 point deduction from Gateshead) or even 9th in the Championship? Put another way, would that Oldham team have earned more points than we did last season? Can't say I am an expert on their team - but I suspect not.
And you talk about on the field performance - well based on that, Toulouse should have gone down and not us. I think you've shot yourself in the foot there...
