Maybe very slightly, but more than that it salvages a little bit of pride, and means that bad as it has been, it could have been worse.

So, is relegation/promotion decided now or after the 8s, does anybody know? I think it should be now - natural justice and tradition, innit?

4 teams competing for 2 spots tomorrow and quite a few permutations.

Batley have 29 points and go to Swinton. Bradford and Fev both have 28 and play each other. Fax host London (who are second no matter what) and hope for a favour from Swinton - their points difference is better than Batley's already.

What often goes unremarked about this mini season is how its shortness makes it potentially nastily sharp.

4 wins could see a team dodge the mpg, but equally might not be enough to reach it. Points difference could be hugely important.

Last year, a few people suggested that five wins would see a team safe, but in theory it could leave you playing away in the mpg.

A early loss for anybody will get the nerves jangling.
