You’re forgetting that if they get beat next week, them amounts will decrease also.

Widnes have nothing to lose and Hull KR were 19 points up today v Toulouse. Hull KR will have massive pressure on them for that game, it might prove too much.

Thank goodness we're scrapping the Middle 8s...who needs all this excitement and potential for change. The sooner we all know who we're playing each and every season and when the better.

Widnes will not beat Hull KR away

No way can I see London getting automatic promotion

Unless there are more unlikely shocks then IMO 3rd spot is now between Hull KR and Toronto

For me MPG will be Toronto v London

Which would be great had the product on the field been above pub level. But unfortunately, in order to get that level of competitiveness, the game has become a shockingly poor low level product, and unfortunately nit just at middle eights level but super eights too.

I agree but with points difference what he suggested is still possible. Personally if Toronto do not beat us, then I think it will be London v Toronto, with Toulouse unfortunately blowing their chance last week when they should have beat Toronto.

Hull KR will muller Widnes. Widnes players will have their minds on where they will be playing next season where Hull KR know it is a cup final in all but name for them. A great fixture last up considering how the table is looking and they won't be blowing that gift.

What an incredible set of results yesterday. The MPG could be between any of Toronto, Toulouse, London and Hull kr (presuming we beat Halifax). There sure is a lot riding on next weeks games.

If Leeds don't beat Halifax and lose to Toronto what happens then?

Well quite amazingly as it stands tonight we sit 2 points clear at the top of the table with one to play.

I wonder if the new signing announ ements will be made this week to boost the season ticket sales ?

Sinfield said after the game that nothing would be announced until it was certain that SL was guaranteed, ie after the Toronto game.

We could be safe on Thursday if Toulouse beat Salford, I would live that to happen because for the first time in a long time I will look forward to the game on Friday

I've enjoyed the Middle 8s this season...the level of unpredictability and the potential for upsets has been interesting and has added some much needed excitement. Your fundamental point about standards is sadly accurate. In fact there was a point whilst watching Leeds at London where I thought this is so far removed from the game first hooked me in the late 60's that it was almost physically painful to watch.

Completely understand what you mean. These days, the game is often quite boring, there’s many a time I’ve been watching a TV game and gone into the kitchen to make a cuppa, only to not bother going back to watch the match again.

If it’s getting to this stage, it’s time to really do something to pick up the interest level again.

The game needs some new attacking ideas. The defences have improved and innovated significantly over the last decade, but it's become too much about 'the wrestle', and coaches and players haven't found a a way to counter that consistently.
