You've pointed pointed out all the stuff I thought too...now if we can see it why can't they?

Rewarding the least points scored is very strange?

I pointed it out to the RFL a few years ago. Apart from not needing a calculator, it's counter intuitive. Ask the bloke on the street who doesn't actually know and the chances are he'll tell you the second tiebreak is points scored. I don't think the RFL even understood the point I was making at all.

It's not just about rewarding least points, is it ? It's about rewarding least points sometimes and most points at other times. The problem is that it's the second tiebreak - it only matters when points differences are equal.

Still, I can hear you say, not likely to happen over a twenty-six game season is it ? But then we have the World Cup coming up with it's three team, three game groups ......

I'd rather play Halifax at the moment. Leigh are on fire.

The way the format goes, you're likely to play the same team in weeks one and three. Which, imho is a serious weakness of the system.

Bad news, pal. The tv game's on Friday, apparently.

I'm sure that'll get good viewing figures, what with there being an England International Football World Cup Qualifier on another channel.

Nothing worth watching, then.

There's probably an SL game on Sky on the Thursday if that's the case.

There is. Wigan v Leeds - unless there's a Challenge Cup Final Replay!
