2020 loop fixtures : Fri Sep 27, 2019 9:21 am  

If the same formulae is used for the 2020 season as this year, then Wigan will play :-

Salford, Catalan and HHR at home.
Saints, Castleford and Wakefield away.

I see no reason why they won't use the same formula as it is the best way of mitigating against any one team getting an easier/tougher group of loop fixtures.

If the same formula is used for Magic Weekend we would then play Warrington again (2nd in league table v 4th).

Hope we go to 14 teams and a more even fixture list soon.

Hopefully we’re heading towards that and from there move towards a 16team league.

Yes. IL confirmed so at the fans forum, odds vs evens. Therefore we go to Saints twice next year.

Who gets to go to Toronto twice?

This season Saints, Salford and Wakefield played London twice at Ealing. They were 1st, 5th and 11th in 2018. So if done using the same exact formula then Saints, Castleford and Hull KR will play away at the promoted team twice next season.
