Thing is though, I can easily imagine almost any other RL player in the same situation doing exactly the same thing. I'm not saying it's right but ATEOTD he got the penalty. On the flipside, I think it was Latu stuck his fingers in someone's eye earlier in the game and wasn't penalised, so maybe it's Karma?

What difference does it make for anyone.

If one team has less fans but consistently finished higher, certainly in recent years). Whilst the other has bigger crowds but is generally crap - this year apart. Who is the more successfull?

As they say "it's not how big it is but what you do with it that counts". Fundamentally Wakefield run themselves better and get more value for their money than most. Sure, Cas it would seem have more potential - but potential has to be harnessed - over to Mr Wright and Co.

I was going to give this answer to the dullard Mac but you will do. RL is a league and the only product of the league is who finishes where, number of fans, bogs and roofs are just a side show the one that matters is league and play off position. So Wakey finishing two above Cas is meaningful for this season and is what we strive for. Who got bigger crowds is not relevant so long as all clubs operate within their budgets.

I do get the point that it's only 4 points (2 games) but isn't that what RL is all about - percentages. Those games had to be won and all teams started with an equal chance of winning them. This season we did better so for this season it is hugely significant - next year it all starts again and there is no telling where it will go.

So hypothetically, you would agree that if we win tomorrow that makes us more successful than Wakefield for advancing further in the play-offs? Or is that irrelevant?

It depends really, some people believe that winning the minor championship is better than winning the GF. Others believe the other way round, so I suppose you could argue on the same lines in the play offs, but to answer your question it would be hard to disagree with you.
On this occasion only :wink:

Well, it's definitely irrelevant now. Congratulations on a successful season Wakefield and good luck next year too.
