That's the rule but despite what the SL numpties on main forum think NOTHINGS changed just forget about TO six english clubs will achieve 70% so playoffs will happen there will be a grand final and promotion from the championship to SL still according to RFL A top-six play-off leading up to the Million Pound Game will determine which Championship team earns promotion to Super League in 2022. .

"Clubs agreed prior to the season commencing to contest the Betfred Championship on a ‘points percentage’ basis due to the threat of postponements and cancellations presented by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The points percentage is calculated by the number of matches won by a club, divided by the number of matches played, multiplied by 100. Although clubs are required to have played 70% of their scheduled fixtures to be eligible for the play-offs, the RFL Board has previously ruled that Toulouse matches postponed as a result of the current quarantine regulations will not count as postponed for either Toulouse or their opponents. In this case, neither Toulouse nor Bradford will be penalised for circumstances beyond their control." So Toulouse can still qualify no matter how many games they play so long as the others are postponed or cancelled.

silcoates Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Good, match def. is on.So get those tickets bought-get those Rams masks bought and get to the game.Toulouse are a great side but i expect the lads to match fire with fire.I don't think Dews .have ever beaten them. I am going to use a 4letter dirty word now- CASH. I suppose the bloke on the gate for the car park will take it. May be using some long grasping thing. HA!
