If we get third and win our home game we will go to Keighley . Win that and we are in the final.

No we wont, well we will be in the final, and if we win that we then have to play the team that finishes 12th in the championship (currently Dewsbury) to go up. Its a load of ######. In my opinion the team that finishes bottom should automatically go down and the winner of the league final should go up. Only the RFL could complicate something so simple.

You've got that wrong. The bottom (14th placed) and 13th placed in the championship are both automatically relegated. The winner of the L1 play offs will then play whoever finished 12th in the championship, to determine who will be the final team to compete in the championship in 2025.

It is this way as a one off to get an extra team in League 1 plus one new club. Swinton or Whitehaven possibly. Heard nothing about Kilshaws shenanigans.
