League consistency has been awful under McDermott, that's just an observable fact. Look at the 8 years he's been in charge and compare with the previous 8 years. 4 SL titles in each section but the league consistency has been completely different. And there's a downward trend. 5 times when he's been in charge we've finished 5th place or lower - which didn't happen once in the previous 8 seasons.
Some people did mention his record at London and how their league form deteriorated under his tenure at the time he became our coach.

It will be very interesting in the Championship next season with only the top side being promoted

How will Widnes (with their £500k parachute payment)
Toronto(With their dream of buying a SL place at all costs,With a sprinkling of NRL talent,but also a club stacked with mainly "SL has been's" at present and also a poor coach IMO in Rowley)
Toulouse(probably the best side to watch in the championship this year)
All shape up for their big chance of SL for 2020?

Which of these 3 clubs will go for the golden ticket and push the boat out next year, knowing full well that this could be their last chance saloon for a while of a chance of reaching SL ?

Which sides out of those championship clubs that don't prevail and make SL in 2020 will still be strong enough to mount a challenge for SL in 2021?

Thoughts and your predictions guys

Isn’t the Championship decided by a 5 team playoff like SL?

Widnes had £1.8M this year, they didn’t do too well with that. I don’t see them been a powerhouse with £1.3M less.

I expect Toronto to win the league at a canter again. However as we saw last week anything can happen in a one off game and promotion will be decided by the Championship Grand Final

Behind Toronto it’s up for grabs, Toulouse, Widnes, Halifax, Bradford, Featherstone, Leigh (if they are still in existence)

A poor squad with an even worse coach. There will be a sprinkling of their players surfacing in SL next season.

No need to troll Leeds now
