It’s ok if you get beat Gary will be straight on blower organising a top 8 restructure.

Sounds about right that. Its great having his power controlling the RFL at our club. Its why we do so well with disciplinary committee and why we had to play so many games in a short space of time while others havent. Good old Gary running the game again.

Pretty sure they missed games v Saints, Warrington, Hull and Salford. They also played Leigh 3 times lol.

I do wonder if there might be a little spurt in cases in East Hull this week and whats the RFL going to do if so? Send them a congratulations you made the playoffs email?

We had games against Catalans postponed but was made to play them. We played 4 games in 12 days and have had to play 3 games in a week a few times to fulfill our fixtures. Other teams have been allowed to not play games.

I think the saying is "it is what it is" the skeptic in me can hear coughing from New Craven Park as i write this.

Saying that KR are a terrific team to watch and Tony Smith has done a really nice job which is still ongoing. Coote signing for next year is a beauty.

Hull KR also played Catalan 3 times once at their place when Cas couldn’t travel.
The aggregate scores of all 3 matches was Catalan 81 Hull Kr 71 Catalan biggest winning margin was 7 points.

A shame there wasn't a way for clubs to catch-up on those missed games, especially with the World Cup being cancelled. Other sports don't seem to have been as badly affected, not that I follow them closely to be fair.

None of the clubs who have played the most games seem to have benefited from doing so (on field anyway). Wigan are stale, Leeds struggling to make the 6, and Huddersfield well out of it already.

Regardless of the fairness of the calculations we are going to have a genuine knockout game for the last match of the season at Headingley. Really hoping people make an effort to attend. With any luck it could be over the 15,000 mark.

Have to be the violin. Wakefield sold out of Kleenex as soon as that 9th place finish was secured.

If Cas lose to Warrington on Thursday isn’t Friday a dead rubber?

Catalans have played 22 games and they’re ok winning the league leaders shield 6 points ahead of 2nd place 9 points ahead of 3rd. We’ve played one additional league fixture to Catalans. It’s the number of injuries, especially to props and half backs, that’s made this season tough for us.
