But your not as we won throughout the season. I just get the feeling that both sets of fans seem happy just to be better then the other. Whilst its a nice feeling its not silverware is it ?

TBF most of the Rovers' fans won't know what it feels like to win a major piece of silverware.

I said that earlier...we finished 6th and Rovers 7th, it even showed that on sky tonight, yet posters seem to think we have now finished 7th..

Hope some-one e-mails sky to make them change the table!!

Hey tbf though it took Hull 8 years of building in SL before they won silverware, we're only in our 4th season, the progress has been very good over those four years IMO.

Hey it was Mrs Barista who started that whole debate IIRC.

Well it has certainly cottoned on here!!

It was a bleedin nightmare on here this morning with that debate

In the regular season, but the season didn't end last week.

If, say, St Helens win the Grand Final then they are Champions, not Wigan. Wigan won the League Leaders' Shield, not the League Winners' Shield.

We may have finished 6th in the table but six teams got farther than us in the competition therefore we are ranked 7th.

This is my point , again comparing what you have done with us. As I say it works both ways but neither team whilst doing this has or will have a dominant period.

I see why you think that but its still utter tosh. We finished 6th.

I do not understand why does it not show on the league table then...also at the beginning of the season sky claimed Rovers finished 4th last season etc....I asked my hubby and the other coaches on the coach to our match today about this, they all said we finished 6th, one of the coaches is also an ex professional.

I have tbh and admit I have never heard of this ranking before



However lets get this straight if I am wrong fine, I am not getting into all this again

Thank god you said that....I thought it was just me



(plus hubby, ex professionals and generally people who have played the game for years)

we finished 6th.

Phew... definitely feel better now

Its something supporters made up to belittle opposition /improve there own standings.

oh right...wish you had been on line earlier I got totally abused over that debate.

TBF I was making this point to the Rovers lot last year when they were claiming 4th but with restated places was 6th. Their response was a uniform link to the league table



I think it was really used was when there were 12 teams and a load of extra fixtures were determined by league position - think you played other even or odd placed teams or something and they definitely used restated places for that.

Well some posters took your points literally MrsB as I found out



In fact they are writing an e-mail to the RFL and coming back to embarrass me about it claiming I steal oxygen and I am a fool etc etc

If we don't hear anything back I guess we can assume the regular round table stands then.

Believe me they've accused me of much worse.

one big blunder although not completely our fault, admittedly we should have done our research first is the whole Crocker visa saga

Disagree. Leeds (Eastwood), Huddersfield (Carney), Bradford (Bird) suffered from the change in application of rules at the same time. Nothing the club could have done to avoid this IMO.

Seem to remember lots of us on here were claiming Rovers did not finish 4th last year due to their failure in the playoffs!!!

It's embarrassing!

What's the point in the play offs if the seasons over?

I think it is so some can say we finished above Rovers this season.

You're right but it doesn't make it true!



Imagine if the crusaders beat hudds, we'd have finished 8th!

What you mean dobbo made the right choice, yeah because hes won exactly what at rovers fecking diddly squat thats what, so it wouldnt of made a difference who he chose.
