It's all out of our control. What will be will be.
However you would expect that if points percentage is the same, the standings would revert to the method used in previous seasons regarding points sored or for and against.
Let's hope for a Leith win and then we dont need a calculator.

Is this an expansionist club in Edinburgh that we dpn't know about, Wren??

Did Wakefield take their foot off the gas as some suggest or did Hull get a bollocking at half time and start doing some tackling, I thing the latter. Just because a team are 34 - 0 in front at half time doesn't mean the game will end 68 - 0 .

To a point yes. Also Hicks suddenly decided he wanted to be the centre of attention.
He certainly helped stop our flow, not least the blatant knock on from Hull that he and his linesman missed.

The OTT yellow for Lino woke us up and we started to play again so in that respect I suppose Hicks unintentionally helped us.

Are we forgetting that a season 20 games+, 2 games don't make a season.

I will agree though, the system is wrong, regarding the win percentage. Maybe some teams play the system smarter, though I think some sides have taken the proverbial, here.

It does also show that this is a league though, with fine margins. We ran with our ex coach that bit too long, and probably the same with some under achieving players.

Hopefully, a new coach coming, either permanent from within, or someone external, with fresh ideas, can either get that extra 10-15% from current players, or maybe from incoming players, and maybe some new cultures.

Roll on 2022

They are definitely nothing special.
