Because they needed to ensure they had the points in the bag before starting the average manipuation. Lose at Sheffield, something unforseen happens in the home match, such as an injury, and top spot could have been endangered. As it is now take a 46-44 home win (more manipulation) and come out it smelling of roses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can the team that finishes top of the league not be the best team in the league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
