whilst its no consolation now i just read an interesting post on the fev forum where someone stated that if keighley had purposely given fev a penalty in that last set in front of the sticks just before they scored, fev would have definately taken the shot at goal and the game would have ended in a draw as 2 point was all that fev needed and whitehaven would be down.
i guess hindsight is a wonderful thing but also i would assume experienced players such marchy or handforth would have worked that out...

I did wonder if 2 points was enough for Fev when they were on the hunt in our 20yd. Fancy that, March not giving a penalty away when necessary. I guess most players don't factor in draws in that situation, being quite rare. Just shows how close everything was, so many variables to how the season would end for top and bottom teams. Predictably we came off worst! Just about coming to terms with it now. Could be worse, we could be cheats

yes in the end they did not need to win and two points (draw) would have been enough for both teams and a fair result. when you think about it you would have expected that someone on your coaching staff would have been aware of all the possible scenarios as they would have known other scores and acted accordingly. like you say marchy has a penalty or two in him
