Thanks to Craig Spence of the RFL, we've got this one all tied up

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hi David,

We have a press release on the very subject due out next week.

The two winners in Week 1 cannot play each other in Week 3. Therefore Saints would not be able to choose Leeds proving both win in Week 1. The winning team from Week 1 with the highest league ranking can only choose from the winners of week 2.

If Saints were to win in week 1 and Leeds lose, then Saints could decide to pick them.

On current league placings if HKR were to beat Saints and then play each other in Week 3 then HKR would have home advantage.

Hope this helps

Craig

Clear as mud

I think it's very clear now unless you are a bit thick.

It is.

But why has it taken until August for us to be able to work it out?

Why is it so ridonkulously complex?

so the top spot is virtually redundant, well done rfl

It's a conspiracy.

Top spot = Saints success so let's make it redundant
Quick PTBs = Saints success so let's all lie on till next Tuesday.

See.

1 trophy in 4 attempts says otherwise

I said top spot, not Champions.

this shows the conspiracy is working

If you consider top spot and 3 chokes success...

The could do with sending that out to the players too by all accounts. Evidently, Maurie wasn't aware it was started this season

i didnt think maurie had a grasp of the game, just catch and run
