| Pleased for London and will be more convinced by Toronto if/when they've stuck around for another year. I suspect last night will have done more to heighten interest over there than diminish it thanks to the closeness of the game. Maybe too they'll look to strengthen in a few areas in which they're still obviously under par if their ambitions are what they're claiming them to be. Look forward to playing London again next year, thankfully not as a middle 8s fixture...

| That was a weird game - U8's attacking play, but outstanding defence; great game management by London though and a fully deserved win - congratulations to them, and I really hope it kickstarts a decent period in SL.
For those people lamenting a Toronto loss for its effect on the game - surely the most positive effect on the game is if the team that won on merit gets promoted?! Toronto will learn, no doubt, that Rowley and Noble are the wrong people for the job, and they'll have another crack next season - meanwhile, London have a hell of a job on their hands to build a team that will be competitive in SL.
Great result - in that the best team won.

Expect them to fold next season after failing to BUY there way into Super League. I think Wigan, St Helens & Warrington chairman will be crying in their beer now that have lost a free trip to Canada next year.'"
Can't see them folding next year. They'll go again and spend big again as they know that finishing top next year earns them a SL place, instead of a place in the qualifiers.
If they fail to make it next year, then you may see them fold but I fully expect them to go for it next year!

| Does anyone know if they will try and play their home games all in one block next year as was told they only did it because the ground was having work done at the beginning of the season. Also next year I am told the 1 up and 1 down isn’t that straight forward as Sky still want a play off final to decide who gets promoted.

IF the promoted side is decided by the winner of The Championship Grand Final, there is the game, right there.
They could still call it the "Million Pound Game"

| Well done to London!! Superb!
Lebron James & Kevin Sinfield set themselves up for that fall so much it’s unbelievable. What a massive pair of bells.
Anyone seen Canoeman??

| Will make the Championship really interesting next season.Hoping Widnes bounce back.The simple fact is it meant more to the London players yesterday.Toronto are just a team of jobbers with no affinity to the franchise they are representing Has beens and few overpaid antipodeans who thought they would just bully London aka Rowleys only plan. Well done London

They are in for the long haul. You don't sped the amount of money the owner does for the short time and he can afford it

| Well done London.
I dont know why anyone would want Toronto to go away. Toronto can come again and hopefully it wont be too long before they are also in SL.

| I have no problem with Toronto in SL and supported their fight for an SL place right up until after their win against Leeds. While it shouldn't bother me, their chants of Widnes after that game made me think, F**K em, c'mon London.
As for the MPG itself, they needed a cool head to calm the troops down and churn out their sets instead of trying to knock ten bells out of the opposition. A level head would have seen them through the game easily imo.
