Although its nice to have and almost guarantees a berth in the Grand Final the league winners trophy is worth nothing if you fail to perform on the day.

I expect you to finish top with ease now although i get the feeling Widnes are going to come on strong in the playoffs.

we could potentially go through the play offs and not have to play widnes till the final or not at all but i have the feeling they will finish second i feel we can beat them theough even though we lost in the northern rail cup.

As an aside. In a league that no-one can get promoted from and therefore has a Grand Final that means nothing (especially as just getting there "ticks the box") finishing top of the league over a 20 game season should mean a lot more than the idiots ar Red House will let it.

Top of the league at the the end of a long hard season makes you Champions - end of!

Minor Premiers my booty.

Well said. This season and next a waste of time unless Red Shed wake up and realise that the Druids are more interested in sheep than RL and stop bailing them out.

We will be the Champions whether we win the grand final or not.
Lets face it, the GF is in the bag for us already (unless of course Ronnie Laughalott gets the ref's jersey)!

Isn't there a £150,000 for winning the GF this year. That's no small amount of money to be fair, so there is still something to play for on the day.
But if we lost to Widnes in the GF having lost 2 games over a season to their 8 for example, i don't see how that possibly makes them the 'best' of anything tbf. Am not picking out Widnes here for owt else than just an example but you get me point. But it's always like that in RL tbf so we're all used to it, i aint complaining persay, just doesn't really show who the best team during the season has been. And id say the exact same if it was the other way round before opposing fans from Widnes and barrow start.
Id like Fax and Widnes in super league either way. The whole things a load of bollox. It's all banter at the end of the day.

i think widnes and barra will miss out on 2nd. widnes played too many games and have a difficult programme and barra have lost that edge from earlier in the year i fancy fev to come on strong and even whitehaven are only 3pts back, but tbh i not really bothered as long as we come top and after the perf on sat we are hitting form at the right time
