Well, 1/5 chance of the other results going our way, probably a 1/2 chance of us getting the wins, then an average 1/3 chance in each of the three play-off games and a 1/4 in the GF - I reckon we've got about a 1/1000 chance of winning the comp at this point.

The competition is designed so that it is possible for the scenario you describe to happen. I wouldn't complain if Bradford DID win the GF this year (I'd be a bit miffed at the side currently top of the league to blow things in such a spectacular fashion though!).

It's a bit like tennis scoring. You could lose 2 sets, five games and be three match points down without winning a single point, but then come back to win the match (unless you're a woman

). Not likely but certainly possible and most definitely within the spirit of the competition.

Bit like the Ashes cricket series in 1982 (wasn't it?) when IIRC we followed on in the third test, and ended up winning the series?

Hope springs eternal!

Is that the odds the bookies are quoting. It may be worth a £1

We won't win the GF this year with Deacon on the field
