You mean like the way that they decide who are the champions ?

I'm comfortable with the way it's done in Super League and I'm sure the revenue generated doesn't go amiss either.

I don't see what the fuss is about. Saints aren't in the form to score any more than 40 against Catalans. Which would leave Leeds needing to lose by what 35 against Salford? Neither are going to happen.

Sky show 2 matches a round. If all the games got played at the same time, I doubt Sky logistically could show 2 games at the same time - taking into account they'd need 2 of the 4 channels free plus would have to have 2 broadcasting crews and commentary teams.

Can see where your coming from, but the RFL set a precedent last year by moving our game at Wakefield from the Sunday to the Friday...so it should be the same this year IMO, with the two sides going for the hubcap playing at the same time.

Interesting though, that the RFL arent insisting that Warrington move their game with Quins to the Friday, which would mean the 4 clubs going for 8th would be all playing at the same time



Should Bradford lose (and Catalans too, which is obviously quite likely), Warrington and Quins will know exactly what they have to do to get in the 8 come Sunday.

Doesnt seem quite right to me

"Rugy" ...???

I think you mean Rugby and it is football – you really should know at least a little about the sport you claim to support.

spelling police around? sorry if that offended you but your posts does saying you think i know nothing about the sport i love. I DEMAND YOU delete your post.

The club have reduced travel for this match... www.therhinos.co.uk/news/7819.php

So I assume that the Hub Cap is not being presented if Leeds win after the game then?

A couple of years ago I think Saints' final game was at the JJB, they finished top but weren't given the shield there and then. Whether or not that's because of the rivalry I don't know but I'm sure Saints had some photos of the shield been handed to them at their training ground.

It is being presented at Salford, should we win it

If the shield isnt handed to Leeds on friday, there will be a presentation on Saturday at Headingley

Been snooping through peoples diaries again?

No. Got told from a friend, but thanks for your concern.

Sorry – didn't mean to upset you – you delicate little flower.

The point I am very subtly trying to make by asking this legitimate question is about Sky and how important they think the league leaders shield really is... by not showing it live on TV?

Think there has been a few occasions when the winners havent collected it live on Sky?

Id much rather we got it at Salford (like we will do if win it) than have it interfering with the preparations for our first play-off game.

TBF im guessing that tied to our near monopoly of sky fixtures this season that sky have decided that they would go for the "Bradford Dulls will they? wont they?" angle. Ill be at Salford regardless anyways, even if the coach is leaving at 5pm

Exactly why I think they are having a presentation on the Saturday.

Why would they do that?

when they can present it straight after it's won, at the end of the final regular season game...

According to the press this morning it's definately getting presented on Friday!

Good Good, link? Youda thought theyd have wanted to give it infront of a crowd at Headingley insteada couple thousand away fans.

I think the RFL should stick with the intergrity of the comp and do Salford the honour of a full house, to present it after the game on Friday!

Wonder if it will be presented to Sinni or JP? It would be a shame for sinni to miss out on lifting it.
