I think Toronto v London in the MPG, but a lot could depend on how much Salford put into their game against Tolouse, given that I think they will be already safe by then.

Before the m8s started I wondered if Toronto might choke. London and Toulouse have both beaten an SL team (Widnes). To get a chance of promotion they must beat either Leeds or Widnes.

Even with Leeds' issues, I can't see Toronto winning that one. If Widnes beat 'fax next weekend it might just give them a bit of a boost ahead of going to Canada.

Basically, Toronto will not get automatic promotion and may still miss out on the MPG.

London is a massive game for us at home next week and if we ease off like we did against Halifax, London have just enough to get one over on us. Points difference is important in such a short league but winning by any margin is more important. Looking at whats left, a minimum of 9 points will get you into the top 3.

Oh goody, another one.

Just to put it out there, it may well be that the MPG becomes irrelevant as there is every chance of a change to the league structure, which may well see SL expanded to 14 clubs, which will ensure the safety of Leeds and allow London, Tolouse and Toronto to replace Widnes.
Tbf, this would give everyone the chance to see just what benefits there may be in having a North American side in SL as well as potentially boosting the game in France, which seems pretty sensible.
I dont know how this may or may not affect Sky funding etc but, it would be the right thing for the game.
THis could also ensure that Bradford and York make it into the Championship although, this would further infuriate the Leigh and Fev fans, who may think that their clubs have missed out.

SL isn't going to expand to 14 as that would mean less money per club for at least the next 2 years. And that just ain't going to happen.

In the brave new world of expansion and with the possibility of a further French side and Canadian side, plus London, surely, we should be talking to Sky and telling them of the benefits of broadcasting such a diverse and exciting competition.
The would open the top draw, pull out the cheque book and ask "how much", if not, we are wasting our time in expanding the game ??
If, by having these clubs in the comp, there is no more "draw" than there is now, who has been kidding who ?

To listen to some people on here, it would be akin to bringing Christmas forward so, apart from the Turkeys, everyone's a winner.

I believe that we should plan for the next TV deal in 2022 by going to 14 clubs in 2022, with Toronto, Toulouse and London, and possibly New York, in the roster, and protected by the restoration of licensing. That should ensure a bigger UK TV contract in 2022, and the possibility of separate French and north American TV contracts.

I have no doubt that Salford will have folded as a Super League club by 2020, or 2021 at the latest, thereby creating the space for all the above mentioned expansion clubs
