What, better than the Tigers and KR sides that came up and stayed up ?

We can say very good and that they were a touch unlucky but, if they were the best promoted side, since the beginning of SL, they would have stayed in SL.

Both Tigers and HKR promoted sides were pretty decent but if you put into comparison where London have come from - a massively lower budget and turnover than those two clubs and the contribution of failings clubs like Bulls and Widnes that contributed to both Tigers and HKR surviving the year they got back in. They have basically gone into SL with a championship team. To get 10 wins has been nothing but a miracle for London IMO.

They would have done it for Leeds!

Agreed

Agreed.... Better team won

I agree we should be expanding to 14. However, that only brings a temporary reprieve from promotion and relegation as the following seasons we will still have a team going down and one coming up.

I know people say relegation hurts the team going down, but no promotion hurts all teams coming up. Why would Toronto, toulouse, Bradford, York invest in their sides to just stay where they are.

Since p&r has come back under either formula the standard of the next league has improved.

The difficulty with getting a super league with 12+ teams is self interest from incumbent teams not wanting to share TV finance.

Short term financal gain over riding longer term strategy and a potential longer term improvement in finance.

I would say that is disparaging to both clubs you mention here. Go and have a lie down owd lad.

Just received your PM........



Are you on the right medication?

To be fair any team with the injuries we’ve had to put up with would probably struggle!

What was it that got said last night...21 operations between them...

Last night missing three dream team members, one our top try scorer, the other top metre maker...our two most destructive forwards Fifita and Pauli...Anthony England, vastly experienced...Arona probably one of the most underrated players in the comp and James Batchelor one of the brightest prospects in the game...any team is going to miss that quality throughout the large parts of the season...

We ended up 4 wins short of 5th place and I’d argue if injuries had been kinder we wouldn’t have been far away from getting four more wins...

We’re in good company anyway because Leeds finished 9th in 2016 the year after winning the treble and Warrington finished 9th in 2017 the year after reaching both finals...which just highlights any team can finish that low if things go against you...

It's the refs fault. If only we got a fair crack we'd be challenging St Helens. Not fighting relegation.

(That's how it goes, right?)

As Cokey said. I think you and your multiple troll accounts really need some help.

shut up fool

Wakefield are better than their position in the league injuries or not.

Their fans had every right to expect a top five finish imo.

Truth of the matter there isnt that much difference in quality between 5th and 12th this season. Bounce of the ball here, injury there. Only Saints have really excelled. At the start of the year I reckond Triniry could finish anywhere between 5th and 10th. I suppose there are a number of clubs supporters who could say the same.
