Grosvenor Casino
With the Play-Offs fast approaching giantsrl.com take a look at the four week structure that will pave the way for two teams to battle it out in the Grand Final at Old Trafford, Manchester.
Week One - 12th/13th/14th September:
The run-in to Old Trafford starts on Thursday 12th September (8pm) where one of four matches will take place, before the second on Friday 13th September (8pm) and a double header on Saturday 14th September (3pm and 5pm) rounds of the four fixtures.
The league leaders will take on the fourth placed side while second will lock horns with third. The winners of both these games will go straight to week three and the highest-placed winner will utilise the ‘clubcall’ system, where they can select their opponents in the Semi-Final.
The other two matches in the first week are titled ‘Elimination Play-Offs’ where the losers are eliminated. The teams finishing between fifth and eighth will be involved and will see the fifth placed team take on eighth and the team finishing in 6th place will clash with 7th-placed. The winners will go to week two and will face up against the losers of the 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd games.

Week Two – 19th/20th September:
The second weekend involves two matches, called the preliminary Semi-Finals, which are straight knock-out games. One fixture will be played on Thursday 19th September (8pm) and one on Friday 20th September (8pm).
The highest placed loser from the 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd from the previous week will face up against the lowest ranked winner (the team finishing in 6th, 7th or 8th place). The winners will go into week 3.
The other match will feature the lowest ranked loser (2nd, 3rd or 4th placed team) from the first week against the highest placed winner from the ‘Elimination Play-Off’ in the first week. The losers are out, the winners through to week three.

Week Three – 26th/27th September:
Like Week Two, this round is an elimination round and is titled ‘Qualifying Semi-Finals’ with the fixtures taking place on Thursday 26th September (8pm) and Friday 27th September (8pm). The winners will go and contest in the Grand Final at Old Trafford and the matches will take the following format:
Highest ranked winner from Week One v Clubcall selected club
Second ranked winner from Week One v Club not selected for Clubcall.

Week Four 5th October:
The Super League Grand Final will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester.
The game to decide the Super League Champions will take place on Saturday 5th October with a 6pm kick-off.

firstly to make it interesting you have to beat widnes

then the last weekend can be summed up like this
1. saints and hull can in theory finish anywhere from 5th to 8th
2. yourselves and cats can finish anywhere from 6th to 8th
3. in theory yourselves and catalan could still finish 5th though it would require a hull v saints draw, and either catalan to beat wire by 100 points or yourselves to score at least 215 points in the last 2 games - or both

couple of caveats to the games - wire may well head to catalan knowing they are safe in second, so may play a weakened team. also your game v london, may be a possibility of it being london's last ever superleague game - could be an emotional match

I assumed that the play off games would be 1v4 on thurs 2v3 fri and then the 5-8 games on the saturday, would give us a chance of a decent turn around. Looking at possibilities 5-8 may not be pos on Saturday due to citys home match. Has anything been said what games are when?

Why cant they just have the old premeirship system
1v8
2v7
3v6
4v5
Straight knockout for a cup like it used to be.Hudds or Wire deserve to be champions,not a team from mid table.

From a practical point of view if Catalan get a home tie then would expect them to be given a Saturday fixture.

Not sure how things stand if FC get a home tie and are told to play on a Saturday? prior to Allam the ruling was that FC took priority from end of footie season to end of end of SL season (June - Sept), a precedent has been set I think a few years back when City had to move their fixture to the Sunday.

With City in the Premier League and the bad blood with Allam don't know what would happen now, hopefully SKY will use some common since and give FC the Thurs / Fri slot if not then a possibility FC game could be at a neutral venue (IIRC Wigan were in this position a couple of years ago, but Whelan eventually backed down, and the footie game was moved)

All conjecture as we may still finish 8th.

Id be astonished if football moved a game for rl.

City did bring forward a game of theirs a few years back (2006/07 ?) in order to accomodate our play off game. I think we ended up kicking off about three hours after the end of their game which was some turnaround to pull off by the KC staff.

With City now being a part of the all powerful PL, that scenario seems unlikely to be repeated, and that's before we consider the slightly fractious relationship between the two clubs which appears to exist at the moment.

It would be ironic if we finish above you and still end up having to pay another visit to your place due to no other available options.

Of course, you still have two games to play and we have one, so there are still plenty of twists and turns to pan out.

If we end up 5/6th i dont think we will move the game and give up on say 12,000 ticket sales .

Where are you going to sell 12000 tickets for a play off game?

Either at the kc stadium ticket office or from the shop . Or did you mean something else stan ?

You think you will get a bigger than usual crowd for an all pay game?

I can't be bothered to explain the history. See William Eve for details, plus MrPhilb's comments above. He understands.

Average playoff gate is aprox 14,000

You are as bad as comeonyoudull at manipulating dates to suit your argument. Your average home playoff gates for the last 5 seasons is less than 6,000. Statistics can show whatever you want them to.
