Chorley Cake, what makes you think one of them is getting promoted ? What about Featherstone Rovers (stuffed your fake team Toulouse quite easily)....you are so predictable with the $hyte that you post.

No he won't......we were always going to have bad days.....

We had a bad day at the office v the French, whilst we didn't play to the conditions in the 2nd half against Leigh and got what we deserved. Fax, Rochdale and Dewsbury are MASSIVE games for London now, because if they can get to the return v Leigh with 3 wins under our belts I'd fancy us to win easily at home.....I'll admit I a not as comfortable in regards to the top spot, but I still feel 2nd place is achievable.

Oh c'mon, we gifted you your first 12 points with our countless mistakes, when we really should've put the game to bed. Seeing that you are a good number cruncher, It will be interesting to see if you find out what the % completion rate was.

London's was 43%....which was appalling. Leigh just played clever in the 2nd half and deserved it......well done, you're only 2 wins away from the 4 now, or 2 more losses from obscurity.......walk that line with care

Cheers

The Easter weekend games show that Toronto, Toulouse and London on their best days are within a whisker of each other. All three deserve promotion to Super League.



If necessary the RFL needs to change the rules to make this happen.

Along with Leigh who were never in doubt wupping London.

Why, because they are "within a whisker of each other" do they "deserve" promotion ?

Should you not include Featherstone in your supposition or, are traditional clubs now exempt from promotion.

Why not go down the normal route of win your games, and if enough points then you will be promoted. The same rule with relegation.



Your constant plugging for Toronto, Toulouse and London to be given a SL slot makes you look desperate to have teams that so far haven't deserved their SL slot yet.



And going off your way of thinking, who would they replace.

Correct Roy.

Salford, Widnes, and either Wakefield or Hull KR. (My preference is Wakefield go down because of their paltry fan base and dreadful ground).



That would make a fantastic Super League:



[iWigan

St Helens

Warrington



Leeds

Hull FC

Hull KR

Huddersfield

Castleford



London



Catalans

Toulouse



Toronto[/i



That would leave room for future expansion to include [iNew York[/i and [iBoston[/i in a 14 team Super League, and later [iMontreal[/i and [iAvignon[/i in a 16 team Super League, and even later possibly [iPhiladelphia[/i and [iParis[/i in an 18 team Super League. Once we got to the 14 team situation I have described, the media in Britain and France would start to sit up and take notice of Super League. By the time we get to 16 teams the same will happen to the media in north America. However this scenario assumes two major developments:



(1) a switch to licencing from P & R by the RFL.



(2) a recruitment of majority local players from the expansion countries, because there aren't enough quality English or Antipodean players to fill 16 or 18 SL teams.

Toulouse is showing that this is no pie-in-the-sky regarding France, because they now have a large majority of French players. They only need a couple more Antipodeans to compete well in Super League. Toulouse's ascent into Super League will attract more French youth away from rugby union and into our game. The same thing will happen, though more slowly perhaps, in the case of the north American teams.

Brilliantly reasoned rebuttal.

Current average attendances for homes games in 2018........I suspect anything south of 5k has no place at the top table so London and Toulouse are non-starters and Toronto need to declare real gates this year and no la la land ones......



Catalans 7,551

Huddersfield 5,794

Widnes 5,351

Wakefield 5,112



Salford 3,421

Leigh 3,644

Featherstone 2,405

Toulouse 2,134

Halifax 1,741

London 1,072

Toronto 0...

You may laugh but it’s likley Toronto will top your attendance table come the end of the season, despite been an expansion club in the Championship.



That’s pretty poor for the Super League clubs that have been around for 100+ years.

FFS! Someone get him sectioned before he invades Poland!

Brilliant.

How many British players are on Toronto's books...20 i think.



That's them out of your SL charade then

He may have a house there he has forgotten about.

Collaborator/Vichy French or Chorley French?

Toulouse just annihilated Barrow (who beat 2017 Super League side Leigh)



Toulouse racked up 50 points with 9 different try scorers.

For those who missed it, highlights of a terrific top of the table contest between Toronto and Toulouse. Many of those tries were of good Super League quality. Two great teams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80krPmK5KfY

More hype. It was very poor defence rather than SL quality tries.

That is not true. The defence of each side was strong, but some of the attack was brilliant.



For Toulouse Paul Marcon, Mark Kheirallah, William Barthau, Stanislaus Robin, Jonathan Ford, and Justin Sangare are SL quality players.
