Thanks Yes, which I think is stupid as the first game should at least be playing for home advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 For the umpteenth time, the rules were set out before the season started and I don't remember any complaints from either fans or clubs at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris22 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 There's little reward for Toulouse should they win this weekend. Taking into account the travel (two potential trips to Canada in three weeks), would it not be worthwhile Toulouse sending a reserve side this time?

Smudger06 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It can't be strategised any other way, the best strategy is to qualify for the final as soon as possible and not risk having to take the field in another knock out game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrogateKnights Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 So we are crystal clear. The winners of York vs Featherstone play the losers of Toronto vs Toulouse in either Canada or France depending on who loses (Semi-Final) with the winner of Toronto vs Toulouse going into the final. Final is played at the home of highest rank team of who is left. So York or Featherstone will always play away after this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes or in Fev’s case they will play every game away from home which is why it’s important to finish as high as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true but the same for York too. To get to the final whoever wins on Saturday have to go to Toronto and Toulouse its just the order that they go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
