*******************************************ROUND THIRTEEN TABLE********************************************
No "full house" this week but three people got eight correct so a bonus point each to Frankg, Martin and Mr H. That takes Frank back to the top of the pile, but it's nip and tuck every week.
Martin was this week's biggest riser.

Unknown Round
Wed 20th May 2026

O.K. so this is listed as a "Supplementary" Round. Now for your education and entertainment......
- Why they exist: Due to changes in the league structure—specifically the decision of Featherstone Rovers not to take their place in the 2026 league—the RFL needed to adjust the fixture list to maintain a balanced, competitive season.
- How they work: The "supplementary" or replacement fixtures see teams playing extra home and away games against opponents who were not originally scheduled in the primary fixture list.
- The Structure: The season is 24 rounds long, consisting of 20 "pendulum" matches (playing 10 teams home and away based on 2025 league positions) and 4 additional matches (two home, two away). These final four fixtures function as the supplementary, or "filler," games to minimize travel and increase local rivalries.
I'm not sure what to do about these games but, if I can work it out, I'll tot them up as one or two rounds (or however many times 8 or 9 goes into the total of games) and award bonus points if you get a clean sweep or full house.
'Fax, and Donny please!
Thank you!
