There's still the possibility that 2 of the above clubs could join the Championship next year. But London would have to beat an SL team in the MPG, so no. Sorry for bringing it up.

There is as much danger coming from the opposite direction. A cash rich Toulouse will be a force in the Championship next season.

Or even beat Workington.

Of course, yes. Forgotten them. Excellent.

One quality up from below and two SL down suits me just dandy. A world in which you cannot measure yourself is a world in which you have no idea who you are.

It means:

1) A healthier competition

2) Jeopardy in games that is inherent and not manufactured by our own staggering ineptitude, as it has been at times this season

3) The weight of expectation is elsewhere

And all this is happening in a context where we've had a clear out of those who think they deserve it because they've had it before in favour of those who, we hope, want it because they aspire to it.

For us in our position I think this is the best of all possible worlds. Bring it on.

Amen to all that, adding only Lord, bring us enough daily bread to allow it to be brought on, lead us not into administration, but deliver us from evil

The season after. There will more likely be a cash rich Montreal in your league.

Doubt it. For one thing it's half as far again from Toronto as Keighley is from London.

I would like to see Salford stay up and either (if not both) of the other two relegated. It would be good if none of the useless players that put us in this position were to be rewarded by SL status.

Sorry meant Toronto.

We won't be playing Toronto in 2018. They'll get promoted and replace us in the Championship.
We've got slowly worse every year since 2006, so if the trend continues, it's inevitable we'll be relegated to Champ 1 some time in the next few years. Followed by the lowest of the low, we'll lose a game to Keighley

Haha, better get it right when booking your ticket for the away game next year...it's a long walk between the two if you get it wrong at the airline desk!

We might be OK if we play Tonto now you can't play the ball to yourself. We've already shown we can play Tolose quite well.
