POR Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Went on RFL and had a look at Covid-19 Update - July 20 turned out to be about London Broncos and Widnes Vikings being cancelled, under the Covid Fixture Protocols The interesting thing came at the end!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Betfred Championship table will be determined by win points percentage to allow for the fact that not all fixtures will be fulfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentoffagain2 Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 What if we beat Toulouse but lose one game,and Toulouse remain unbeaten.So both lost one game will our win against Toulouse not give us advantage over points percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this feeling that Toulouse will not play us due to one reason or another and stay top, then play the easier teams and have a better percentage than us and win the league then have the final in France with no away fans to make it hard for us We all know who the RFL want and i think we will get done over again Edited July 22 by paff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Phil Loxton Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Aye and they could come a cropper like they did in the 2019 semi final. But let's not forget about four other side's that will be taking part. Remember didn't we come from fifth place last time and with covid plus injuries nothing is for granted. I'm sure the players heads aren't in the final just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paff Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Yes they would, my point is why risk top spot when they dont have to , the rules are set for them to go unbeaten AND come top so they can sell the brand to SL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it would even come into play if win% and points% were equal - in normal times it's points, points diff, points%, No of tries, No of goals, No of DG and then toss of a coin.

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 (edited) I see the conspiracy theories are alive and well...... Toulouse have so far missed games against us, Newcastle, Bradford and Oldham (all postponed by RFL due to Covid) and London who refused to play. And have played York (1st game when considered to be amongst the favs), 'fax, Widnes, Whitehaven, Swinton, Dewsbury, Sheffield and Batley. Aside the fact they've no say in who they do and don't play that would hardly be deliberately avoiding the top teams.

Only the RFL can cancel the game under COVID-19 protocol. In truth if you look at it objectively you could argue that it Fev that have taken advantage of the rules by not playing TO in France at the beginning of the year. 4 I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon.

RobLambert Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 What about C*s not being able to get a team together before and after Wembley. But on the big day they were all all either fit or didnt have to isolate. Whether or not that comes from a backward thinking conspiracist - its all a bag of sh*te......... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing thing this virus, it only prevents them playing when it's convenient. Toulouse haven't cancelled a single fixture to my knowledge. They are scheduled to play each team in the league at least once. You are getting paranoid. 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.
