Relegation playoffs

[backrowbandit]

So am I right in thinking that 10th and 11th fall into the relegation playoff zone?

Assuming Moortown win their their home game in hand then the most likelt teams to be fighting out to avoid 10th or 11th are:

Ponte
Crocs
Wetherby
Malton
Salem

Looking at the run in - I honestly think that Malton are in trouble. They have a tough set of fixtures - as do Ponte.

So based on the fixtures my money is on Ponte and Malton - although I'm sure they will now both be safe!

Any thoughts?

Also how do the relegation playoffs work?

Just the one play off.
10th placed team have home advantage and have to play it they are automatically down.

Promotion play offs - do as you like, no sanction if a team gives a WO. Seems the RFU are expecting plenty of them.

I think Ponte have a pretty tough run in. 
They still have to play Morley, pock and Scarbs. They don't get to play phoenix like most of the other relegation battlers. 

And I'll pick Wetherby as the other one.  Which means we'll get a relegation playoff preview in the last week.

Do you think there will be any WOs given in this league?

I think it's unlikely....

The leagues directly above and below?

Possibly.
More likely clubs trying to avoid finishing higher than 6th.
