Quote: jakeyg95 "I've never understood the logic behind Bradford fans complaining about the Million Pound Game. They finished 5th in the middle 8s so it was a second chance they wouldn't have had otherwise, and without the middle 8s we could either have top goes up automatically which would have been Leigh, or a play off system with a grand final which would then be a one off game for promotion which they apparently think is so wrong.
The Million Pound Game is essentially a better replacement for the Championship Grand Final as it can now involve SL sides. If teams don't like it they could always try the novel idea of not being so crap that they end up in it.'"
Like most things, it depends which view point you want to take.
They may well think that they finished as the highest placed Championship club and "deserved" to be promoted.
Also, they gambled very heavily that season on getting straight back into SL and that is why they and especially James Lowes took the loss so badly.
The only way to view the MPG is as an extra chance to make it to SL and try and take pressure off people but, the reality is something totally different and by having a system that ensures such a game, with all that comes with it, for me, is wrong and I say this knowing that Trinity came out on top.
