Salford may continue to have financial difficulties but the team have shown they deserve their place. Without Hastings however......
1 space for automatic promotion left. And at least we'll be now in the MPG away at worst. Tomorrow is massive and we could still end up with 4 teams on 10 points at the top.

It's going to be weird for our (alleged) Leeds Rhino's fan tomorrow night.
Wanting his side to lose against Toronto Barbarians...just so he can have an 0rg@sm on the VT if they win.

Barry McKenzie claims to be back in 'stralia for the Grand Final, although as an avid Sharkies fan he may well have flown home for their eliminator last week. |

Enlighten us, what exactly have Leigh done wrong during the above alleged process different to other relegated teams. |

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

Would it be a wise move for both Toronto and London to field weakened teams this weekend in preparation for the MPG? Picking up key injuries with little to gain this weekend could have catastrophic consequences. With it looking like London having home advantage it would be a very close one to call. |

As a fellow Leigh supporter I find that embarrassing, I would be delighted to play at London in the MPG.
Sour grapes at their sourest. |

Sadly thats the bitter underlying tone that comes out of a number of Leigh posters. Its all about the crowd. We all know London don't have great crowds and didn't in SL. If league status was based on crowds of course London wouldn't be anywhere near the top.
At the end of last season London let 2 of its better players go to rivals (Barthau and Ackers) whist bringing one player in plus promoting kids from the development squads. Its living to your means and Wardy has done a good job with what he has available.
Leigh have lost to a 14 man squad, Batley ....in recent times not forgetting missing out on the top 4 and now they are in a financial pickle but have decent crowds. Looking in the mirror sometimes isn't a bad option.

disappointed toulouse fell at the final hurdle, when they got back to 14-10 i thought the next ten minutes were vital, after that their heads went down, salford need to thank marwan for signing hastings, lets behonest without them two they would have gone down, two losses to leeds and london showed without hastings they are poor!
cant see any other than a london v toronto mpg now, think leeds will sneak tonights game

Unless there is some collusion between certain clubs to ensure that Toronto or gain promotion and / or a shock result in the remaining fixtures, London do now look to be in the box seat. Home advantage will be huge, not to mention travel etc and they could sneak their way back into the top flight.
It's going to be interesting, not least because London (being the last game of the round) have the advantage of knowing exactly what they will need to do to make 4th spot. |

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
