We all knew the rules at the beginning, although think its fair to say Scunnys name was on the trophy months ago, everything seemed to fall into place for them since they were able to massively strengthen the side, meaning even barring their injurys the could adequately cover with decent guests and rider replacement, that together with a full home programme more or less, them being lucky to be able to run their fixtures and worky not, then Doyles injury just before the final....but you earn your luck in life so congratulations.
I hope next year it's seriously looked at as it means you can be very poor early season, make changes, scrape into the playoffs by finishing just above mid table (6th) and possibly win the league. I would seed the top team through to the final and have a play off between 2nd and 3rd to determine the other finalists.....that's if there has to be playoffs at all.
By all means have the league cup early season but make it so it dont count towards averages... Meaning poor teams don't/cant profit when the league starts....
