Can't possibly win top points scorer then even though he was in front until the split.

That seems fair.

Well he could if he'd scored enough beforehand. He's not in SL anymore.

Yes because it's ever going to happen that someone is going to be that far infront in the points table that he wont be caught up in 7 EXTRA games.
The 12 team league he was competing in isn't there anymore either but hey ho lets pretend nothing changed.

Does the top points-scorer win a prize? Is it a prize worth their while? Does he even care? Does scoring 20 points a game against Sheffield or Halifax really constitute as points in Super League?

Or did you have a bet on him at the start of the season?

Who did you have the bet with?

There are a lot of inconsistencies in the betting industry regarding settlement of this years SL events. The biggest example is the Regular Season whereby come firms have paid out on a 23 game regular season (correctly IMO) while others are waiting until the end of the Super 8s (30 games). Some bookies simply haven't done their homework on the changes and in probably just copied prices from other firms

Any punters should check the relevant firms settlement procedure before placing a bet. That said I have checked again with one high street firm regarding one bet of mine and their esteemed customer service team couldn't tell me what was going on. I backed Wigan to win the regular season and was ready to throw my slip away but when they couldn't tell me their own settlement rules I decided to keep it and will try again if they finish top after 30 games. :mrgreen:

Mantellato was a pretty big price for top points scorer IIRC, he was mentioned on an RL tipping Twitter page in pre-season for this market so I imagine there will be a few grievances if the OP is correct. Good luck getting your money though, you will need it.

It's a nice feather in the cap and yes it does get you a prize in the end of season awards, so yes I imagine he cares.

I never said his points in the middle 8 should count but then if we are saying that then I don't see how can you count the other EXTRA 7 games in a SL that is then reduced to 8 from 12 teams?

It seems to again be the RFL not thinking it through as they clearly never considered that someone could be top whose team then wouldn't make the super 8's. Just like the situation with the extra CC games when they didn't think any of the teams would make the QF's only for HKR and HFC to manage it.

I didn't bet on him no.
I just assumed that there would be a level playing field with regard to this. I was wrong.

The playing field is level though. Every player at every team in SL had an equal chance of playing 30 SL games this season. The fact that no Rovers player can do so now is not the RFL's fault.

I had a bet on him and thought it might finish (or hoped) after the 23 games but had a feeling it would go to the 30 unfortunately
