Looking at it another way East Leeds have to win both of their games to go above you lot being 2 points ahead of them with superior points difference.

If they do that the point you would have got from beating us, which I don't think you would have anyway, would mean nothing.

I would wager a guess the point you would have got will not come into it either way. The only way it would have any bearing is if East Leeds won a game and drew one. I can't see that happening.

http://www.sportfocus.com/webpro/rfl_le ... /index.cfm Puts your therory out, as according to the table East Leeds have 3 games left, we now have one instead of 3, how can they let them play their 3 and not us, when we havent called a single game off in this comp? The game between you and the Miners means nothing as Miners have a far superior GD and therefore cant be caught. You could however have come down and played us instead.

Well we've played you at home so how have you got to play 2 less than East Leeds.

Once again you have a point from our game when you could have had a maximum of two. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't make a lot of difference.

yes it does we had chance of 6 points and the way were playing, I think we would have got them, and now we can get 4 max.

How can you get a max of 4 if you have one already?

They have declared our match at West Hull a draw as well

Had 3 matches = 6 points

Now 2 draws leaving one match = 4 points

Why'd they declare your match at West Hull a draw too?

Saying that they did it with our game at home to North London Stags.

They definitely could have done it a whole lot better. Even extend the season so teams could travel on weekends.

It was BARLA who decreed that Leigh East had to play a Cup match that day and were not able to fulfill their fixture against the Crusaders. So as Crusaders and Miners were without a match it made sense to play the one that was organised mid-week.

So blame BARLA (and the weather) for all the cock-ups this season, but mainly BARLA.

BARLA have spoiled, for me, what was a very enjoyable U-18 campaign to date.

It has ended in a very farcical way. What now if a team has trouble making a play off game? Decide who wins it.

How they came to the winning margin for the game against Leigh Miners is beyond me too.

they came up with the winning margin of 18-0 because celtic did not fulfil the fixture that the result given to any team that does not fulfil a fixture.

i think it disgusting that celtic are being aloud to play the game again, if it was any other team that FAILED to turn up for a fixture they would have been booted out of the league, but OH NO IT CELTIC CRUSADERS LETS BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR THEM.
