Agree with the positive - best Championship season for many a year.
Disagree with the farce comment though. At worst for the Championship teams, there'll be a one-off game between the lowest placed SL team and the highest placed Championship team. On main season form (just as an example), that would be Wakefield vs Leigh... and Leigh have already shown they can beat Wakefield (and Salford).
As a negative, the 3rd 8's are a bit of a dead duck, and I'm sure that Fev, London and Dewsbury aren't massively motivated to give it their all. Doncaster are already relegated, but still plenty of interest for the other 4 teams if Hunslet can get their act together. Oh, and although Cats, Hull and Warrington can breathe easy for SL next year, they all need a serious turn in form (reverse order) to get in the top 4 for the playoffs.
