So it's not even mentioned in the handbook - I knew I couldn't find it.

There can only be 2 teams in the GF - you therefore know a minimum and a maximum possible score, so a decision "could" have been announced before the GF.

It's far more logical just to wait for certainty though.

That was announced in the last few days, long after the Ellis interview.

Cas have been doing lots of ticket deals this season in a desperate attempt to keep their attendance figures up.
It could be very tight for the last couple of spots.
Lets hope there is nothing coming out of the sky to cause an upset !

Plus their crowds are terrible and after all these years, they still have not improved. They would not be missed in my opinion

I wouldnt be sure PT, Leigh have made progress with academy and foundation apparently, Cas have made improvements on facilities and finance and they were missing 0.5 last time around. Huddersfield have made no progress at all it seems. Looking at the higher grade Bs, it's going to be close with a lot of clubs in the rankings.

Well I guess we'll fing out in October.

Academy doesn't score you any extra IMG points and their foundation is a still a long way behind Wakeys and most of the other SL teams
