Bottom playoffs

Read a few things about this but it appears there will be a playoff between bottom 4 of championship and top 4 of league 1 

no idea of whether it 1 game and who is at home 

absolute farce as usual from the rfl

sureley if you finish first in league 1 you get promoted , otherwise it pretty pointless

but we need to ensure we do not finish in the bottom 4 which we should easily be able to achieve

we have games against all bottom 4 teams and some immediately above us

We've got a 6 point buffer and this weekend's set of results help us with losses for Sheffield, London and Batley.

If the rumoured going to the 14 team SL with York, London(!!!!) and Bradford going up happens, then the bottom 4 thing surely becomes irrelevant?

We are 4 points with a game in hand from 6th. We play Donny who are immediately above us next week. We need to aim to try and get 6th or at the very least as high as possible...

We won't finish in the bottom 4 as we have a 6 point buffer. However a very bad set of results for us finishing in the top 6 this week. Wins for Doncaster, Barrow, Halifax, York, Oldham and Featherstone. If we want the top 6 I think the next 2 games both at home are now must win.

With a top 6 and a bottom 4 playoff and us in 9th it could be a boring end to the season with only teams in 7th, 8th and 9th having no extra games to be involved with.

Bottom 4 champ/top 4 league one ....play each of the 4 from the other division....two home two away ... fixtures are dictated by final league position...for instance if north Wales finish top they'll play the in theory more difficult games at home (10th 11th ) ...12th 13th away
