Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "What are your thoughts on Toulouse’s demolition of Halifax, a club that finished in the top 4 in 2017. Do you now accept Toulouse are promotion contenders?'"
After 7 games, Toulouse have accumulated 12 competition points and have a 164 point difference...... we are nearly 1/3 of the way through the competition and I would say that on current form, Toulouse will make the Qualifiers.
Alas, we have no real way of assessing how London, Toronto, Toulouse of Featherstone Rovers will go when competing against Salford, Catalans, HKR and one from Huddersfield/Widnes, but for those that didn't like the "predictability of licencing", it must be quite worrying that we probably know the line up's for the Super 8's and Qualifiers in March, 4 months and 16 fixtures away from when those competitions start......there will be a few transfers announced with clubs spending to stay up......it's just like 1999 all over again.
Speaking of predictability, we also know which 2 clubs will battle relegation from the 2nd tier and at the bottom of the third tier, the last 5 teams are all expansion clubs......
