how he can go on tv and say the division is exciting due to the bonus point and even makes it exciting over the relegation fight.

i used to care, now i dont

we dont deserve to be top

There is no doubt that the Championship is competitive

If Fev beat Donny this weekend the top 6 will be split by 3 points with no team having more than 3 games left

You could finish 1 st or 6 th depending on results

So I would say that is a positive and he will obviously push that as the RFL only see ' positives '

That's why we're not. As for the bonus point ... should only be awarded if a team gets within 6 points ... 12 is too much.

I like how he said "yes, we think so much of this league we're trying to kill it off by giving the clubs in it nothing to play for!"

Is that why Halifax aren't bothering to win, then?

I don't buy this "no promotion, no interest" argument. If that were true, why would you want to be in $uper£eague? There's no promotion from there.

In spite of the "nothing to play for" argument, this is the best season I can remember for a long time. Anything can happen - and frequently does!

what exactly do you expect him to say? "championship is crap"?

I don't think thats down to the BP though come on, its just been that kind of league this year.
sad thing is we have blown it, we could have had top but by a few points but its gone now.
