Due to my inability to understand anything the RFL implement (guess I'm not the only one!) - are we still potentially playing in this or not?

No idea how it works!!

Only if saints and Wigan are playing the grand final do we get the chance. If wire or Catalan get to the final then no we don't!

i can't see us taking up the option if we were given it.
i think it will be the 2 grand finalists and leeds!

It would be embarrassing if we played in it we're still miles behind super league teams when it matters never mind NRL teams

If we qualify we have to play. How could we ever expect to get the experience of big games if we don't take the opportunities. Also we automatically become a bigger draw to potential top signings.

i agree, too many benefits not to take the option! would be daft not too.

But if we perform like we did against Wigan.....

It will sadly be too costly a game for your club to arrange and undertake

how you work that one out?

Because we'd probably struggle to get over 10,000 there which you'd need to make the £180,000 back it costs to enter

it will be the only game in west Yorkshire plus sky with have to pay to cover it and match sponsors should be a nice earner for the club plus good for the clubs profile

We would enter, I am sure. If not then the club might as well say we are never aiming to be one of the big clubs in SL.
