jroyales Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I've spoken to several people about how the play offs work and I am still none the wiser. Does anyone know how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Thanks Oldham 123. Only RL could come up with something as crazy as that. So, if nothing changes in the league, we will be playing Doncaster away (Qualifying Final), win that and we will play Hunslet away (Second semi-final), then a week off, and after winning that we could be playing Hunslet away again in the final. Dead easy!!!!!!!!! Any dates for the games i.e. week 1, 2, 3 and 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham123 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Week 1 - 3rd September Week 2- 10th September Week 3 - 17th September Final - 24th September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The results this weekend will determine whether our first game is at home or away, not the opponent. Unless of course the improbable happens and Doncaster hammer Dewsbury by about 45 points and worky hammer hunslet by a similar amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that Dewsbury see off Doncaster and we beat Midlands to sneak 3rd spot to secure a home game at BP v Doncaster. Win that and we’d be away to Hunslet in the semi-final. A win in that would give us a home final at BP. Imagine that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 Back to the confusion, did I read somewhere that the team that finishes the highest always, win or lose, plays at home. If that is the case the final will be at Hunslet and not Boundary Park. Makes no difference, we'll stuff them anywhere!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 At the end of the day, the truth is if we win every game from now on then we're up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead easy!!!!!!!!! Any dates for the games i.e. week 1, 2, 3 and 4? RL, in the shape of the NRL, have used this type of system for many years. Most people are used to it and understand it. If you look closely at the ramifications there is a clear benefit from finishing as high as possible. The winner of the "major semi final" will have home advantage in the final even if they end up playing against the team that finished second. Edited August 26 by Blind side johnny 2 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Derwent Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Hunslet have already written you off. Their Twitter account says they play Donny in 2 weeks. Edited August 27 by Derwent I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints10coach Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 A bit convoluted. More than likely if we make it to the final, we will have to play either Doncaster or Hunslet twice. Unless either Workington or North Wales win through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The Midlands game, although we would have loved an overwhelming win, was one of keeping your army in reserve ready for the bigger battles to come. Yes a stronger team would have beaten them, but at what cost. As it turned out , it was the right call. Now we bring out our big guns for Donny. I'm assuming they played their full team and battled hard for the win. Could work in their favour or, hopefully, it could work against them. We'll find out on Sunday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Hunslet are in a false position and I can only see either us or Doncaster going up. Take Bel....... out of the equation and they are a very poor side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
