wandering wire,



That is the 2009 playoff rules.

Right, so you gave me a tenner...



If we lose on Friday, and we make the semis, we are away.

If we win on Friday, we are in the semis, and are at home.



Clubcall only becomes ours if we win and Wigan lose to Leeds.

wasnt aware they had changed???



Although i do agree with the winners from week 1 getting home advantage. Otherwise the only insentive to win is a week off. Home advantage in the semi is much more prized than a week off imo!!!

Completely Correct





Win tomorrow first then be guaranteed to be at home for the Grand Final decider



Cannot get this apathy of some about not winning.



Wouldn't you rather win then have to go back to KR hell hole, and even that's assuming we beat Hull or HKR at home

its all too confusing, can someone just send me a text in 2 weeks if i have to buy a grand final ticket

It really isnt confusing at all..

It has to be the winner's from week one at home in week three and there's a very good reason for that - money.



If you go away in week one and win, thus not having to play at home in week two, and then have to go away again you do not have a home play off game at all despite being in the top four and reaching the semi final. That is in effect a punishment for success because the teams finishing fifth and sixth in the league DO have a home play off game and the additional revenue that brings.



I know gate receipts from the play offs are split but there is still additional revenue to be made from home games - merchandise sales, programmes, food and drink etc etc etc. Why financially reward the fifth and sixth placed teams for relative failure (by comparison with those above them) and potentailly punish the third and fourth placed teams for relative success?



Win tomorrow and play at home in week three. End of.

Depends how intelligent you are. Not surprised some on here are struggling.

oh deary me! got a section 117 have we?(time away with consultant permission from hospital)

Hi Guys,

Think I understand most of this,,,,,,,,Just to clarify, if we lose on friday, and then beat F.C. or Rovers at home the following week, would we then have to face Stains at KR in the semi ( assuming that we are not chosen by the pies, as sacrificial lambs,,assuming they win, ...not that we would not beat them.). ?.

I think I comprehend most of this, But why the hell can't we have:-

1 v 8

2 v 7

3 v 6

4 v 5,

I would imagine they dont do 1 v 8 2 v 7 etc because they want to reward the teams that finish in top 4 but then you could do the australian way which i won't get into as that messes me up big time haha

The winners of the semi have home advantage regardless of final league placings.
