The Featherstone team got what they deserved? How?

Or the fans?

Perhaps you mean the owner?

Tough one really, this idea that a club losing a final deserves to be kicked out of the league does seem quite ruthless. I don't think it was among the 144 recommendations but I'd need to check.

On the one hand, Wigan lost the SL Grand Final so I am tempted. But Warrington lost the Challenge Cup Final so that seems unfortunate. So on balance, I'm against it.

The clue is in the phrase 'sudden death'.

I can't immediately think of anything more poorly worded.

Not in the game we could have won it.But in the way the clubs were run.

It takes something to make me smile this season, so fair play to you

I agree ,but sentoffagain2 is a regular commonsense contributor ,i don't think he means it how it comes across. I've only just seen his further comment, it wasn't meant to sound bad.
