I'm sure they wouldn't mind

Baying for blood (i.e. relegation), has been popular for 1000s of years. Look at the roman gladiators.

Winning the GF is popular if you support a top club, but even neutrals are interested in life or death games.

Then why such a huge difference in attendances etc?

1300 fewer people watched Warrington v Les Catalans in the S8's than in the regular season.

This supposed life and death gladiatorial battle that should be highlight got only 5.3k

last years million pound game got about 1600 fewer than Hull KR's average.

It's a real shame they haven't got a smaller quota in the championship, might do Catalans some good.

If Catalans are relegated it will be hilarious to watch the usual suspects initial schadenfreude be replaced by the dawning realization that the heartland championship sides will need to deal with losing home games against Bradford and Hull KR and replacing them with Toronto and Les Catalans and the prize money and games against SL for the top 4 possibly going to London, France x2 and Canada.

Wigan could be one win off after next weekend.

If Cas beat Wakey
Saints lose at Leeds
Wigan win

Wakey will be 4th on 28
Wigan will be 5th on 27 joint with Saints.....

Think they will come down to the wire on that 4th spot who know they will have to travel to Cas.

Widnes win and London draw with Fev.

Going to be a right dog fight, Warrington will win the league, hard to predict places 2-6, big game for London next week at Rovers, probably a must win game for them.

Huge game between Catalans and Leigh as well.

Things have just become very interesting in the middle eights!

under their previous coach, catalan at least had some flare and use to play exciting rugby at home, only a few weeks in charge and mcnamara has turned them into a boring 1 dimensional team! mpg beckons if they are lucky! mcnamara will be gone too i reckon

Where's the three faced Frenchman?

Anyone could see McNamara would bring about the opposite of improvement to Catalans.
