Why was it?
It's got a lot of people talking about the championship and viewing it in a more positive light.
As a result, if I read it right then Sky will be broadcasting live championship games next season.
The atmosphere at Belle Vue today won't have been bettered anywhere in the country this weekend in any sport.
That was one of the best finishes to a game, that doesnt' include Leeds, that you'll see all season.
Just because the best of the championship weren't good enough for SL this year doesn't mean it's pointless. It's shown those clubs that they need to improve and it's also, hopefully, given a kick up the backside to SL clubs like Wakefield who've been coasting for too long.
Well done RFL. More of the same next year but please change the signing deadline.
