I did wonder, if they are going to cut the season off, whether they would come up with a formula including all teams like they did in the old Premiership or the days when the top 16 played off for the Championship ( I remember Dewsbury with Stevo in it winning the Championship from 8th in the table.

Re: Change to the season
Would be in favour of pulling the season after this weeks round and going back to an abridged version of the old top sixteen play offset. If the top five teams went straight to the quarters the bottom six could play each other to join them. Then a case of the highest ranked team playing the lowest and so on until you get to the final. Reduces the number of matchdays to four so you can play the rounds a week apart getting rid of these ridiculous short turnarounds, everyone gets a shot, Sky get to show the games live and we still get a Grand Final.

This is the way forward. The max any team could play for the rest of the season is 4 games. Seems doable and gives everyone one last shot to keep the fans interested.

Re: Change to the season
Its so simple to predict the format of the End of Season playoffs.
Just see where Leeds Finnish.
4th - Well its obviously top 4.
5th or 6th - pretty obvious top 6.
7th or 8th- to be fair to all let's have a top 8.
SIMPLES!!!!
Before you jump in and say I'm radged, let's see where Leeds end up.!!!!

Radged what does it mean exactly lol.
Re: Change to the season
Looks like Catalans are being allowed to choose the teams they wish to play to keep their percentages up. Not exactly fair to all the teams working their butts off to complete the season. I include Leeds in that. Catalans will play hull kr Salford and Wakefield to hit the 15 and end up top.

Re: Change to the season
Yeah thanks for your efforts everyone else battling Covid and injurys and everything else let's make sure we have the five or six teams we want in the play offs
The RL and Super League are a disgrace if it wasn't for Cas I'd never watch a super league game again
Just waiting for them to let Toronto back in next season to put lid on it

Re: Change to the season
I hope BT put a bid In; wishful thinking I know but with the personnel employed by sky and the complete shambles this season has been it looks like they’ve already given up on league. Reduced contract from 2021 we need a fresh direction and sky don’t give a toss. How else would Clarke Terry and Baz get a job on the tv, if they did give a sod

Re: Change to the season
I can't see anybody else wanting to come forward and work with Rugby League that's how bad it's got
The sky deal last time was 200 million for five years that will be massively reduced if they sign a new deal

A couple of definitions depending on where you come from so either a) A little bit crazy or b) To have your judgement impaired by sexual arousal. Either way you've been a bit of a wassock. Now there's a word that's a great loss to the English language. "Mr Grant the referee was a complete Wassock" Shakespeare couldn't have written it better.
Re: Change to the season
Radged and now wassock. All the old phrases popping up. Must be the climate. Lol.
