Quote: PopTart "Why would they announce it before all the points are gathered?
And it doesn't just affect the two in the GF. The final positions that affect all team points are calculated from the final positions in the playoffs.
I'm really not sure what you are trying to prove.
Someone asked when the date was for the announcement
I said I don't know but it can't be before the grand final
Luppy questioned that because Ellis said something different
RFL announce date is after grand final.
Ellis wasn't correct but now knows.'"
I said it's logical to await the conclusion of the season.
However, the only 2 clubs it affects are the clubs in the GF - all other scores are done and dusted by then. Their scores can only be affected by +/- 0.1111
IMG had previously suggested scores "as early as possible", so I don't get this idea that Ellis was "wrong", and certainly not "cringey". Have I misunderstood what was meant by that?
The date was only announced this week. Clubs clearly had not been given this detail when Ellis did the March interview.
That's not the kind of thing he would get wrong.
