Spacake - dont think there is any doubt we have the best team in the league and would have gone up without the deduction and the added burden of having to play the top two other teams three times.
to be fair i think if we had even had more reasonable replacement games from Blackpool dropping out other than Keighley and Swinton we would prob still have gotten out . But a combo of both i think has proven to much to reach grand final.
Think the reason we havnt scored more is the absence of a scrum half all year. Palfrey, Rudd, Dalton , Gerrard are all stand offs and that has showed in our pattern of play.
