Indeed.....and that would be more accurate then the fictional application for jobs. AFAIK, Gutters never applied for any jobs at the club and was actually only ever on the case of a certain CEO who reduced the club to rubble in his 1,140 day tenure.....I believe that there has only been 1 person with the word marketing in their job title at the club since 2006 and SHE lasted a year.....although he's right about David Hughes, a man who openly admits i the Book A pastel Revolution, that he hasn't a clue how to look after the day to day running of a club.......I mean to say, re-read the bit about the 1 year we had a marketing person in the last 12.

Anywhoooooo, back on thread.
Toulouse have 10 points, the same amount they had from the same games last season with HKR replaced by Leigh.....they are full deserving of 2nd spot and will probably make the 4, but I doubt they'll get more than 1 home win v championship opposition in the qualifiers.
With no trip to Canada and no Challenge Cup games to worry about they have certainly been dealt a favourable hand

And if Leigh manage to get their season back on track and Fax build on their performance yesterday, then there's a chance that Fev, Leigh and Fax could all gain promotion. Your point is, well, pointless.

Yes the teams in 3rd, 6th and 9th are really likely to all gain promotion.

...as likely as London, Toronto and Toulouse all going up!

Of the 3 I can see Toronto splashing the cash in Australia once the bottom 4 or 5 teams in the NRL have started their 'clear-outs" preparing for 2019....neither London of the white flag waving surrender monkeys have the cash. Any of the players mentioned in dispatches for the NYC bid would be prime targets...as would Money Bill Williams who apparently is no longer wanted by the AB's....his super rugby season is over in early August (if not sooner) and he'd love the chance to be the of attention at Toronto for a few weeks.....SBW, Hayne.....then Toronto would be able to compete, but currently they look average at best.

The next 3 games will all be major tests for the French.....anything less than 4 points and they'll finish 3rd at best....3 home games, 4 away and 2019 Championship beckons.

You've said it a million times Jean, we get it.

Toulouse have just destroyed a top 4 pretender which goes by the name of Halifax. 38-6 is a fairly decisive drubbing.

A full time TO have just beaten a well managed PT team who punch above there weight at home.

Let us watch Toulouse put Halifax to the sword again at Halifax later this year.

Full-time vs part time is irrelevant. If Halifax cannot compete full time then they don't deserve to be considered for promotion to Super League.

I think you'll find that there's no-one at Halifax who considers that they have any chance of promotion to SL this season, or indeed for quite a while. We thought we'd turned a corner after beating Leigh, but that's been probably the only highlight for us this season. Hats off to TO, and well done today. We were hopeful that Fax would be competing for a top 4 place, but this does look increasingly unlikely now unless we can somehow recapture the form we showed towards the end of last season.

A fantastic result from an expansionist team against a heartlands team

The Championship looks a very interesting league this year, not just because of expansion clubs all doing well but because of the traditional clubs that they are continuously measured against. Without either of them. The league wouldn't be half as interesting.

Share the love!

If there ever is going to be a right time to expand Super League, it’s now.

This.
