The rest will sort itself out.

Saturday 30th June - Toronto v Leigh
Saturday 7th July - Toulouse v London
Sunday 8th July - Halifax v Fev
Sunday 15th July - London v Halifax
Sunday 22nd July - Fev v London/ Halifax v Toulouse <<< Big Day
Saturday 28th July - Toronto v Fev

Spot on Atomic

for what its worth my prediction is:

1. Toronto - 43 Points
2. Toulouse - 34 / 36 Points
3. Featherstone - 32 Points
3. Leigh - 32 Points
5. London - 30 Points
6. Halifax - 29 / 31 Points

Fax v Toulouse could go either way

I predict that should we make T4 we will be playing in SL 2019. The travel facing TW in the 8's will take its toll and their only hope is million pound game at home

Are all TW games away in the 8’s?

It seems a bit short notice to book away trips for potentially 4 teams.

Do you not think we will be a bit dead on our feet for the 8s - we seem a bit battered and bruised at the moment, and we can't afford to relax for any games. Even the "walkovers" we need to maximise the points difference

They will have 4 home games, and won't be allowed to play them in blocks I.e. 3 away then 4 at home as I understand it

Plenty of excitement to come yet.

Whoever finishes 5th & 6th pretty much have a 2 month holiday before playing each other in a pointless dead-rubber. Unfortunately this is where the 8’s system falls down massively.
How to fix it, not sure, possibly set them all back to zero, at least that way the teams at least have something to play for. Prize money decided on 50/50 from original finish position and 8’s finish position.

As long as you don't implode against one of the bottom 6 teams, you'll make the top 4 with 32 points. The five games involving Toulouse, Fev, Fax and London could all go either way. Two competition points between all of them after 18 games, and impossible to call. The top 6 all won their games this last weekend against bottom 6 opposition with ease.

All I keep thinking is that Sky really are missing out o a superb end to the season for the sake of a load of boring SL matches.

Forget Toronto - the key game to a top 4 finish for me is the one the following week at Batley. Never an easy place to get a win it's going to be even harder this time around if we still have a limited squad to choose from compounded by the inevitable jet lag from the flight back to the UK. Yes I know that KP/KC will have them up for it but if we are not able to be 100% focussed and fully fit for this game it could well be the banana skin that we slip up on. Hopefully not and if we do make the Qualifiers then, regardless of our eventual position, I think that KP should be given the Freedom of Leyth for what he will have achieved this season after that nightmare start.

Agree 100%, Batley away is a big game, win, loose or draw in Toronto.

(No Rangi this time around)

I get your point completely but
- I just think we will/can beat Toronto regardless
- if we do beat Toronto the Batley game will then be less important.
The aim for me is still to win each game as it comes up. To tight to think about not going 100% at Toronto for me

Batley game could be the difference between 3rd or 4th.

3rd - Toronto at home
4th - Toronto away

I don't know about you but I would rather have them at LSV

My opinion obviously

The Toronto game has the same meaning. Win it and we have 3rd (most likely) and I really do think we have too much for Batley these days regardless.
That said it is nice to debating whether we should go all out to try and beat Toronto. It has been a fantastic effort by the club over the last 12 weeks or so. Whoever KP puts on the pitch in Toronto I will be cheering them on and I know the players playing will be going all out.
