That was the common assumption, but it was mentioned somewhere in the last day or two (might have been in the T&A Opinion piece yesterday) that Whitehaven have heard nothing about that possibility.
The option of just giving a bye to every team due to play us isn't one that's possible because of the Summer Bash. I would think they would have to promote a team into our place, and then the Championship 1 teams due to play that side would instead get a bye that week (since they have no stupid and unfair "extra" fixture thrown in). Whitehaven would be the most logical team as the highest placing team overall from last season, currently in Champ 1. If they promoted any other team instead, it would show favouritism.
Not sure the 'bash' would make any difference, tbh, the Bash itself is anti fairness in all ways possible, so just giving KR the points seems little different.
