The problem is that promotion next season will be in the hands of IMG and their formula. It will of course be a bonus to win the championship grand final but it does not guarantee anything. I maybe wrong about the process and I stand to be corrected.

It doesn't guarantee anything but it gives you a fraction of a point (0.25 I think) that no one else has.

Apologies if this is a deft question.
However, if you get 0.25 points for winning a Championship GF, is this more or less than finishing 11th (very optimistic) in SL ?

I seem to recall that each and every position in the League table gives you 0.5 extra above those next down. So, bottom of SL gets 0.5 more than top of Championship but the 0.25 reduces the advantage for these two placings only. Aren't these rankings over a three year period though?


There is something for winning that Championship Competition at Wembley as well though to aim for.

I think the last time we had Ben @ BV was v Saints when he gave Saints a dodgy golden point DG winner, most fan’s thought Lomax knocked on before kicking the ball over.
Hope he’s more favourable this time around

At least Kendall isn't an official this week

Yes I believe this to be correct which is why that unless the promoted team next season (most likely Featherstone) finish 8th or higher then if we finish top 2 in the championship (which is a big if) we will score more points on this basis

Yep remember the game, most fans did think he knocked it on but when you watch the game back the ref got it right.

Albeit I've seen some terrible calls over the years, is the referee really our worst enemy this year?

No the referee isn’t. But last week the call to send Fifita for 10 incorrectly effectively put to bed any chance of a comeback with 10 minutes left and 10 behind). It should have been play on and was a the result of play being stopped for a perfectly fine tackle. We were overall the better team at that point too).

Constantly around 10 unavailable and it’s happened last few years. Also can add Salabio to that as unavailable. Almost a full starting 13. Injury hit Salford have 3/4 out though
