@spelly It is not fair but lets face it the RFL have only devised such a complicated to ensure there are more games to make more money for clubs.
Problem is not many clubs will make much as attendances are very low & gate money is shared. Hopefully Widnes & Oldham will male a few thousand.
The Play-Offs are all shared gates. Playing the Vikings is a payday. We have the best away following, and regardless of the rubbish spouted by London and Oldham, have the better home crowds.
* As Mr Spellman will confirm, not playing us in 2026 has deprived the Lions of a decent pot of money.

* Defo! Mentioned it more than once both on here, and other platforms too, but................
I still maintain, that despite the fact you've already won there, league finishing positions should take precedence when determining where play-off matches are staged, so...............
Sunday's fixture should have read 'Yeds v Chemics, as opposed to the other way round!
We kick off at 2.00, so should catch the second half of your game on the radio, coming home in the car.
Spelly.
spot on lad - Oldham crowds have been rubbish, latest at boundary park just over 1000
not sure what expenses come of that , but would be surprised if either club made any monay !
and as you say a vikings fixture at anybody’s gaff is payday time
