See the logic for a closer playoffs but it would be unfair on the consistency of say Hull FC who could be caught up easier by least consistent Widnes.
The way it is isn't too bad. Dead rubbers but that's because currently our league isn't strong enough.
Widnes seem to be building as a club. In a few years they may compete at the top. That should be good enough for them this season.
