WIDNES v London - widnes will have to much for London I suspect, plus that pitch gives them an advantage.

HULL KR V Salford -be a lot closer than a few weeks ago. We're going into it on form, and Home advantage will help. Should be an excellent game.

LEEDS V Toulouse - it's a free hit for Toulouse really. But leeds should have to much for them. A lot will depend on this weekend though.

Halifax v TORONTO - The travel won't be much of a factor with there being 2 weeks till the game. Toronto brushed most championship sides aside during the season. And though Halifax should be a lot closer think Toronto will just have 2 much.

BEST GAME - Hull kr v Salford. 2 good sides, looking to start the 8's with a win, good players on both sides. Has the ingredients of a great game.
IMPORTANT GAME - Halifax v Toronto. Halifax are a decent side, going in to this in forms. Toronto need to win it, to prove they're contenders for promotion. Lose to a side that were in the same division and it's hard to see them beating the Sl sides .

This is the big logistical issue of having a transatlantic side that most of us realistic supporters have been banging on about since their conception. If Toronto want to play in our leagues they should do so to our rules like Catalans do, if they don't like it, well they can get stuffed.

I wouldnt look to deeply into this,its just the usual "us against them attitude" that Rowley approaches these kind of games

Standings after round seven; changed my mind on this a little bit
Hull Kingston Rovers
Toronto
Salford
Leeds
Widnes
Toulouse
London
Halifax

I can't see Toronto getting automatic promotion. I'm not sure toulouse, fax or London are capable of beating a super league side but one of them could beat Toronto. Hull KR and Leeds will be too strong for them which leaves Salford and Widnes and I still think they will only manage to beat one of them if at all which for me would leave them in the million pound game.
I think best they can hope for is a home tie in the million pound game.

Wow reffy, I'll go with that,but with Leeds a bit more
