I know the big debate is about week 3 and "oh god how complicated they get a choice!" but what I find odd is that a LOSING team get home advantage in week 2.
I know it's a reward for table ranking, but that rewrd is already factored in by the second chance round for the top 4. I think maybe a neutral venue for week 2 might be an idea - could make it a double header as well. |

hmm I know but they lose it for week 3, probably the most importand game. Its the reward for finishing in the top 4 when people say the league isnt important. |

| Quote Roverswall="Roverswall"Reading D.D.'s post it would appear not it all depends if they win in week 1.
If I read it right and we go with the current positions and we (HKR) '4th' win at Saints '1st' then saints lose that right and the winner of '2nd' v's '3rd' would get that privilige.
It would also mean that we would get home advantage unless the winner of '2nd' vs '3rd' picked us.'"
except the winnersof the 2/3 playoff [i can't[/i pick the winners of the other week 1 game - they only get to choose btween the two winners of the week 2 games. Read the email in the OP and wellsy's post ( esp the bit on bold) again.
I think part of the problem is some people have decided it's complicated and are creating their own problems with understanding it even when it's explained clearly |

If anyone out there would like to pick us (the once mighty Fc  ) as opponents then feel free to drop an email or phone call to the KC stadium.
We are willing to play anyone, anywhere, at anytime, we're not too fussy these days.
Speaking as a neutral who will be watching from the outside it should make interesting viewing. |

| Apparently the Lower Grade Play Offs are using the old top 6 system. Nice of the RFL to clarify that one to us fans as well. |

Exactly.
I bet most of these people couldn't work out how the top-6 play-offs worked at first (if at all), yet would still prefer to have that again despite it also being "complicated".
It's a verbally hard to explain system, granted. But that doesn't make it complicated. |

I've no intention of even trying to understand it - much more exciting to not have a clue as to what's going on.

| Quote rhinofox="rhinofox"This explains the system perfectly well, I dont know how some people can still not understand how it works.
I like it, its better than the old top 6 which had 1st playing 2nd who went straight into the final to play each other again.
I like the idea of teams choosing who they play as well, form teams are not always the highest ranked.'"
I agree. It's not like the playoff idea is new, they;ve just stuck a couple of extra teams in so it had to shuffled but works for me.
Picking the team is straight after the week 2 game as well. |

| Quote D.D.="D.D."Thanks to Craig Spence of the RFL, we've got this one all tied up
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi David,
We have a press release on the very subject due out next week.
The two winners in Week 1 cannot play each other in Week 3. Therefore Saints would not be able to choose Leeds proving both win in Week 1. The winning team from Week 1 with the highest league ranking can only choose from the winners of week 2.
If Saints were to win in week 1 and Leeds lose, then Saints could decide to pick them.
On current league placings if HKR were to beat Saints and then play each other in Week 3 then HKR would have home advantage.
Hope this helps
Craig'" this is a great poster   |
