We haven't lost to a Championship side yet?

If you'd bothered to read all the thread you'd realise I am talking about how the concept can be tweaked when the clubs have a consultation after this first year. I was referring to the results this time around because it highlights another albeit smaller obstacle that is put in front of aspiring Championship clubs. If Bradford do get promoted they'll have done remarkably well to achieve it IMO.

My mistake..... Lowest side I was referring was of course Wakefield.

They could play 4 v 5 as a neutral venue but then the last games don't matter as 4 and 5 th are effectively the same.
There was every possibility of two Super League teams being 4 and 5 so it's not a penalty specifically against the Championship sides.

Personally I like the format. The only thing I'd change is an earlier transfer deadline window but only by a few weeks.

There was always a possibility but I think under the current rules it would take a large dose of luck for that to happen.

There are already dead rubber matches this weekend anyway. I think a neutral venue would be fairer to the Championship side (who are always going to struggle to get above the SL clubs) and also a chance to turn the game into a proper event that RL fans in general might attend.

Wakefield are probably the only SL club who aren't spending close to the full cap so they're perhaps a realistic target for the Championship clubs limited to £1M spend. But imagine this system if Leigh or Bradford go up and build a squad using the full cap and perhaps throw in a marquee player. I don't realistically see any Championship side getting into 1-3 under those circumstances.

If the game was played at say Headingley. I'd be making one in. Not bothered about going to Belle Vue though.'"

The game is between Wakey and the Bulls, why should we have to travel when by finishing 4th if we do, then we gain home advantage so you want have to bother coming to our magnificent stadium will you icon_thumb.gif

I've no problem with fourth being at home, it could have been an occasion where the two teams were separated by more points so home advantage could be just reward for a deciding play-off.

Pre-match discussion, team news, ticket news etc.

I'm assuming ticket news will be announced today.

If we sell out our allocation is there any stopping Bulls fans purchasing tickets from Wakefield's ticket office?

2000! What a joke. We could sell double that.
I can't see anything stopping Bulls fans buying them from Wakefield though. I can't imagine they are going to sell out.
