This is the best visual representation I have found.  If there are better please post!

Numbers are wrong for week 2, but the rest seems to be right?

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Right lads I've got it sorted, this is for definite. If we win at Widnes on Sunday we will play Philadelphia Eagles away, should we win that we will play Wycombe Wanderers at a neutral ground in

Who is responsible for not only incorporating two leagues into one. Giving some clubs easier games than others and after that penalising a club (your club) after your players have deservedly finished

This looks right. 

Obviously as we saw last year, nothing is a given in the playoffs.

But our personal nightmare would be beating Widnes and then Newcastle losing to Doncaster/Barrow.

That would lock in the fact that if we lose to London then we’d need to play them again down in London for the Semi Finals.

Again slight irony that may be better tactically (and financially) to lose vs Widnes. Which means max of one trip to London.

Im not expecting a sensible reply as it is the Rugby League that are running the competition!

But why was Oldham's reward for finishing 3rd a match against the 5th placed team whilst Doncaster's reward for finishing 4th was a game against the 6th placed finisher.

Similarly next week London's reward for winning the league is to host the higher placed qualifier whilst Newcastle's reward for finishing 2nd is to place the lower placed qualifier!

Rant over...

Have I got this right? Widnes are now in the group of death, in that they are likely to meet London in the semis? Where as we cant get them till the final?

No, Widnes are in the qualifying section so still have a life if they lose to London whereas we are in the elimination section so we are at jeopardy of going out of the competition if we lose.

Ok, so we have to win next week to stay in the competition.   Midlands will be a tough nut to crack and I'm not counting my chickens but IF we did win,  what are the likely permutations for the following week?

 

Home teams win (London/Newcastle) means we play Widnes away.

London and Widnes win.........we play Doncaster away

Doncaster and Widnes win...... we go to Newcastle

Definitely best not get ahead of ourselves and just concentrate on beating Midlands next week...... whoever we play is totally out of our control so just need to get the job done next week!

So every chance we'll be playing Widnes again IF we beat Midlands. What a shambles. We should have played Barrow yesterday (3v6) , a far less difficult game than Widnes, as Doncaster proved by beating them 72-0. Donny's reward for finishing a place below us was getting the weaker team!

If we do have to go to Widnes in a fortnight (no disrespect intended to Midlands at all) , what a game that promises to be. We'll be away from home, underdogs, with a point to prove, the pressure will all be on them. Our away support will be out in force.

Yes we do have to win on Sunday first & hope Widnes lose at Newcastle.

So is this Sunday effectively our last home game unless something weird happens?

No, in theory we could be at home in the final if the other team we are playing finished below us in the league!  But definitely away from home in week 3 and week 4, that's a given now.

That said,  we might be better playing away from BP as in modern history we haven't won a play off game at BP!  Midlands will have fond memories of their 1895 victory at BP so I'm really worried about Sunday now.  😬

Am I right in thinking that given the result today that if we win tomorrow well be playing Newcastle at theirs?

No, Newcastle are now through to the final round.  We need to win 2 games to get there.

Final round? What do mean? Semi final surely?

It would be too easy to call it that.

In thr non Oldham side of the competition it could be

Week 1 Doncaster v Barriw

Week 2 London v Doncaster

Week 3 Doncaster v Barroe

Week 4 London v Dincaster

 

I dont think that was the RfLs intention but it does not look goid if thst is the series of games.

Saw this on FB. If we win and  Donny win we go to london, barrow win we go to Newcastle.

This is wrong! 

My understanding is:-

Doncaster and Oldham win - London v Doncaster & Newcastle v Oldham

Barrow and Oldham win - London v Barrow & Newcastle v Oldham

Doncaster & Widnes win - London v Widnes & Newcastle v Doncaster

Barrow & Widnes win - London v Barrow & Newcastle v Widnes.

So we go to Newcastle if we win, irrespective of the other result.

Now if I'm wrong, I apologise for being a smart ######, because I know no-one loves a smart-###### 🤣
