Wouldn't that just perpetuate the agony for one game more?
It would almost certainly just perpetuate the agony. The chances of both Newcastle and Keighley losing might be around 4/1. The chances of us winning away at Barrow might be 5/2. The chances of the Dons then winning away in the play off final might be 2/1.
If those assessments are correct, it means the chances of the Dons being promoted are 51.5 to 1. The odds are certainly not in our favour; in fact they’re well stacked against us. Our gut feelings are already telling us that, but every team must always keep going whilst ever there’s a chance.
Supporting sporting teams is usually hard going because there are many more failures than success stories. I would imagine most Super League fans will be well cheesed off with their teams this season. Only Castleford, Wakefield and Hull fans are likely to be happy. Salford fans might be moderately happy.
We could then have a separate discussion as to whether it’s fair that a team finishing in 5th place in Championship One has really got a right to be in with a chance of going but that’s another story for another day.
