Do they owe the RFL then?

Gap is wider. just short of 2 points away from 12th. Toulouse only 0.5 points away.

London's score is inflated by the "incumbency bias" of being in SL last season. They'll fall away now and by next year be well down the rankings. They have their own issues keeping afloat too.

York have a smart ground and have done pretty well on the field. They're looking good. Probably a better bet than Toulouse for SL if a SL club implodes. No way will SL clubs want another French team in there.

Would be good to hear what plans the club has to improve on 16th. Doing better on the field would help and would help attendances too. Odsal needs finalising too - do we have primacy of tenure yet? If not then once that deal is done it will help - albeit leave us with a massive money pit to sort out.

Will be interesting to see what the spin is as we have plenty of deluded fans who think we're SL bound.

Bit disappointing but just shows how much being in SL can do to a score with London possibly weeks from ceasing to exist, yet above us.

Be interesting to hear Jason's interview later, he reckon we would be high 12s to low 13s. So that's a lot of points we don't have.

Until the stadiums sorted we don't deserve to be in SL. so whilst we'll improve next year on performance and having the lease, it doesn't really matter does it.

Well we all know it was massively skewed towards the current SL clubs.

Do worry about the long damage this process might do to the Championship when movement is effectively now on hold. The stadium is an issue that will continue to hold us back.

Breakdown. We're maxed out in fandom & finance & community whilst we're in the Championship. Performance can improve slightly, especially once the 9th place finish drops away. Stadium we know about.
