THE SUPER League is to call an early halt to the regular season following further major disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic and bring forward an expanded play-off series.

Clubs have agreed to make what are left of this week’s fixtures the last following another spate of cancellations, and will kick off a six-team Grand Final series a week later.

The top two will have a week off while the rest play elimination ties on November 12 and 13 at venues to be announced, while the seventh-placed club, almost certainly Huddersfield, will remain on standby in the event of further disruption.
