The winner of Rochdale v Hunslet play against Keighley (the winner of that game going directly to the final).

The loser of Rochdale v Hunslet play the winner of Midlands v Workington (the winner playing the loser of the Keighley game for a place in the final).

The winner of the final then play the 12th placed Championship team for a place in next season's Championship.

Home ground of the championship club. The promotion game for superleague is dubbed the million pound game, I think the championship promtion final will be  the fifty quid game!!

It's up there with the Wetherby Whaler trophy in terms of prestige and prize money

Are Midlands just presuming that though? I've not seen it announced officially anywhere.

Rugby leaguer &league express edition 9th September. When discussing promotion from div 1 says "to make the task harder, they will have to beat the higher division side away from home in order to earn promotion on Sunday, October 13."

50 quid game comment is disrespectful. As tongue in cheek as it may be I can assure you it's many tens of thousands more important than that. Only reason I rose to that was because of the clear benefit of winning the playoffs meant to us last year on and off the field.

It's called Ironic humour! And yes I know it's many thousand!!!

Midlands have their DR players and they will win. If they don't then it's 50/50.

Today’s wet forecast for Rochdale could influence the score and the gate receipts.
Hornets will ‘enjoy’ playing Keighley sometime in the play-offs and hopefully the 12th Championship club (away).
