Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "London narrowly beat Widnes at Widnes. Toulouse easily beat Widnes at Toulouse. That suggests that either London or Toulouse could replace Widnes in Super League and perform at a satisfactory standard, especially given the fact that their increased income in Super League will enable either of them to buy a couple of big Antipodean forwards from the NRL --- which would make a huge difference to either team's performances.'"
No it doesnt.
Both London and Toulouse would be easy beats in SL, just as Widnes have been.
The advantage that both of them have is that they may be able to strengthen their squads and be sufficiently competitive to survive relegation but, either side, should they gain promotion, would be favourites for the drop.
Widnes have gained the honour of being the worst SL side that we've had in the middle 8's
Toulouse v KR will demonstrate just where they are, mind you, IF they could beat them, things will get very interesting indeed.
