Round 17

<templatestyles src="Template:Quote_box/styles.css" />

"Perpignan has a population of a little over 100,000 but there are three million inhabitants in Barcelona which is a two hours drive at the moment and will become much closer when the high-speed link is completed."

– Christophe Levy, Catalans Dragons general manager[6]
  • Catalans' home match against the Warrington was rearranged to take place in Spain, at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the venue for the 1992 Summer Olympics. The aim was to spread the sport of rugby league into Catalonia, in what the Catalans' general manager described as the club's "Magic Weekend".[6] Over 15,000 advance tickets were sold.[6]
  • The Wigan vs Wakefield fixture was played before Round 1, due to maintenance work at the JJB Stadium during the month of June in anticipation of the upcoming Premier League season, in which Wigan Athletic F.C. play in sharing the same stadium. Both clubs had a week's break over this round's weekend as a result.

Play-offs

The 2009 Super League play-offs took place in September and October 2009. They decided which two teams contested the Grand Final.

Format

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Main article: Super League play-offs

Super League has used a play-off system since Super League III in 1998. When introduced, 5 teams qualified for the play-offs, which was subsequently expanded to 6 teams in 2002. For the first time, eight teams will compete in the play-offs in 2009.[10]

Following the final round of matches, all eight play-off teams will be decided. The 2009 play-offs see the introduction of a system where the winning team from week one with the highest League placing will be allowed to select their opponents for week three.[10] Except this choosing opportunity, the new format follows the play-off system of the Australian Football League.
