The game that decides the LLS has to be televised IMO.

Hmmmm....that would be good...but how does one know what that game might be? It could have been in, for example, round 26, or 25, or 24.

St Helens have been the most pro active at fielding weaker teams to gain advantage-more despicable holding back players from international selection for the very same advantage blatantly damaging the competition, but they are a "Big club" and it was ok for them but lowly or weaker as you put it Salford do it and people can't wait to put the boot in,a case of Rugby league snobbery at its finest. 

Yes nobody mentioned it when Saints did it.

Well, we knew. It was the final round.

Yup. It's very simple. One match confirmed the winner, it was the Wigan v Salford game.

In terms of TV scheduling, though, where things have to be done in advance, generally....... If Wigan had won say ,two more games, that game would not have decided the LLS winner, since it would have already been decided.

No. But also, scheduling really shouldn't be such an issue in the days now of us showing every game live. It was an odd decision.
