Fook knows. Why not email them? It dosn't change the fact that you never made the final four. You finished a creditable 6th.

Yeah ok then we will enjoy our 4th place finish while you can celebrate finishing(albeit only just )above Salford and Celtic

It's like talking to a brick wall

Yes, Hull finished 12th and never made the playoffs. Rovers did but their early exit meant they failed to make the final stages, i.e. the final 4. What is so difficult to understand about that?

Are you going to answer my question regarding St Helens ranking in 2007 and 2008?

Yes Sts finished top yet lost the GF but the yearbooks show they finished top of the table.
Why does it rankle so much Rovers finished 4th in the league?

Dont recall any of you mentioning your demotion at the time

Then you weren't reading these forums.

The Wakey fans had great delight in pointing out that they finished above us by virtue of winning the playoff game between us. They went so far as to get emails from both the RFL and SL confirming that final placings are decided AFTER the playoffs and not before. The league table isn't updated because it only covers the weekly rounds.

Now, you might think that this is all meaningless semantics anyway, but there is an important consequence. The prize monies that get divided up between the playoff teams is figured on finishing position after the playoff and not the weekly rounds. So Rovers will have received the money for a 6th place finish rather than a 4th place finish.

It's not a system I particularly agree with, and it's hardly intuitive, but it's the system followed by the RFL and SL. Feel free to check with them.

I'm perfectly chilled, cheers. I was just providing some detail on the issue as I couldn't see a proper explanation elsewhere on the thread. It's not as if there's a great deal of difference between finishing 4th or 6th anyway in terms of prestige.
