So, given the fact that the Million Pound Game, Championship Shield Final and League 1 Play-off Finals are all being played on the same day, wouldn't it have been sensible to hold all 3 together in a neutral location and market it as a triple-header event?

A 15-20k stadium would be an easy fill given the 6 teams involved and would give all 3 games the sense of occasion they deserve.

I know the MPG was on sky but were the other games on TV? I saw the Leigh Miners on Premier Sports, well I think it was that. Point being it would have been nice to see them on one channel rather than scattered across the airwaves, which itself emphasizes how good Watch NRL is, which has all the NRL leagues matches, State of Origins, internationals, the Womens league (finals) and other competitions of interest.

You had no chance of winning? But you lot spent most of 2018 talking about how you would gain promotion to Super League, despite me pointing out this wasn’t possible from 6th place, the position you were in for nearly the whole season.

If you exist in 2019 you will have very little chance of winning the Championship, I guess that means a similar number will show up at all your games. Compared to Toronto’s 9000+ that’s a very poor effort.

You don't say Einstein ? Always wondered why Wigan Warriors get bigger crowds than Hunslet Hawks. Now I know, thanks to 'our beloved' Canadian Pudding !

Your own team took probably around 2,000 to the Shay. Pretty poor compared to 9,000+?

Given what's happened, 700 from Leigh to Featherstone feels like a better effort than 2000 from Leeds to Halifax.

And Toronto haven't gained promotion from being in practically 1st position all season,so there clever clogs.

Edited for accuracy.
