I wonder now that the Bulls are guaranteed a shot at the ' million pound game 'they might rest some of their key players for the fax game . Give the players a week off , get over the bumps and bruises and come back refreshed for what is a much bigger game than the fax one .Might work in our favour .

Doubt it both Wakey and Bradford will want to get 4th spot and the home game for the million pound match which will be a big advantage especially for Wakey as not many teams below SL have won at a SL ground I think just Barrow at Cas and Leigh at Wakey in the cup can't recall any other wins away? But I think Sheffield could do Wakey at home, especially if we have managed to beat Bradford the day before as Wakey will have nothing to play for.
Widnes will want to go out with a win and will probably beat Leigh.
As for us we want to beat Bradford and get 6th spot and the extra £300K plus funding which is HUGE for us, never mind the bragging rights over our most bitter rivals!
Go for it lads lets finish on a huge high.

As in 1986 I reckon a draw should do both teams, it should get us 6th place and the Bulls 4th, can't see them over taking Salford as the points difference is massive.

Backing the Eagles next week ?

If Bulls are to draw and be fourth, Eagles will finish above you.

Guys does anyone have a link or anything to confirm the central funding issue? I always thought it was based on the league standings before the super 8s started rather than where each team finished after the super 8s had been played...

Re: 6th Position : Sun Sep 20, 2015 7:47 pm  

It is based on the placings after the Super 8's. The link, who know's, it was on the RFL website, but I imagine it is probably hidden away somewhere by now...

Effectively fifth place in the qualifiers gets what 1st place in the Championship got in previous years. They couldn't do it based on the league standings before the 8s as it wouldn't have been able to take into account any promotion and relegation without some serious bodge jobs.

Re: 6th Position : Sun Sep 20, 2015 10:23 pm  

5th (losing finalist million pound match) £850k
6th £785k
7th £550k
8th £550k

From memory, something like this.

Re: 6th Position : Sun Sep 20, 2015 10:52 pm  

Yeah, I think it was similar to what Rich says. Something like

5th £751K
6th £750K
7th £550K
8th £500K

Definitely a big carrot for next week anyway. Also, surely Widnes owe Leigh one. Memory serves that Leigh have won the last .... between the two of them!

You never know But I think if Wakeys defence plays keeps its performance this week up then you will have no chance.

Thought it was 450k for 8th and 500k for seventh ? Remember thinking at time the minimum we need from these playoffs is not finish bottom.
