unless I'm missing something...surely 17 games in Ron Massey cup means that is their league (unless they drew a few )

It depends on how many teams enter the Ron Massey cup .If 128 enter it would mean 8 games to get to the Final .

I've no idea. I just saw it on a drop down box. It may be that the NSW Cup is the main semi-pro league and the Ron Massey Cup (formerly Jim Beam Cup) is the "second" team?

HA HA! so its not just me who doesn't understand the set up down under and there's me thinking everyone on here were the font of all knowledge.

Maybe someone can explain next years league set up and league splitting and then the league play off thing. Or is that too much to ask Off to HRLFC tomorrow to get my and my sons season ticket for next season !

No no, I'm just as thick as the next man

Re: FAX CAPTURE WORLD CUP STAR : Mon Sep 15, 2014 5:23 pm  

The Ron Massey is 2nd tier (like Championships) for Sydney feeder clubs. Queensland have a similar comp (Think our League split by region rather than ability).
The Holden Cup (NRL U20's) is higher profile over there so although not 2nd tier is viewed as more prestigious.
Hope this explains thing simply enough. It gets difficult to grasp cos things are done differently over there

So what is the NSW Cup?

I disagree there Rich , what if the next man is an Idiot ?What does that make you ?And answer me this , if a team plays six fixtures twice and the outcome of plural games is times by two , would dlouble points be carried over to the middle eight games , with 4 up and 4 down , which would count as group games .
