Even if we lose at Toronto (which I don't think we will) we will still finish in top 4 - I predict 3rd - as they are going to take points from each other. We are the best team in this league. It was just unfortunate that we had that terrible start with NJ and the new faces still gelling.

Progressing from the M8s is the tricky bit as I don't think any of the Champ teams are good for SL.

To be honest there some of the super league teams that would struggle in this division from what I have seen this season. Sat going to be tough but I think we can go and get a result over in Toronto. Dicipline is the key to winning the game

Like all part time teams in our division Batley are ravaged by injuries, as evidenced by their last 2 results i.e.20-38 home to Sheffield and 12-50 away to Halifax. I predict a similar result to yesterday and should act as a springboard together with the last 3 games to catch all the other teams' points differences, and could end in 2nd place if we beat Toronto!!

Are Toronto playing their 'home' middle 8s games in Canada ?

Not sure now! The post I saw was from ( I'm assuming) the RFL. Which stated no block fixtures of home or away in the middle 8's for them. Are you saying thats not the case H?

TWP are subject to the same rules as everyone else, they will be playing at home or away as the fixtures are scheduled, no block bookings.
Also I think that the RFL should schedule the games so that no team has to travel 'overseas' 2 weeks on the bounce, including TWP and TO.
But that makes it somewhat difficult for TWP as when they play at home in Canada, all the players are effectivly playing away, they all live in this country, plenty of tooing anf froing for them then.
Question to all, should they be given preferential treatment in scheduling their games, or being part of the same comp should tge same rulles be applied to all?

Same rules when it comes to the 8s. Otherwise unfair to all the rest, Champ and SL alike.
Nothing against them but our own teams should not suffer to accommodate them in our competition.

Dear God, surely not HRJ - if they play their M8 home games over here then it really would make a mockery of the sport

Apart from Fax We have the luxury of a lovely fresh squad that can be rotated which might just prove the difference in where we finish. 2nd or 5th for Fax Im just not sure which(SL would happily get rid of such a competitive league though).

TWP are making a mockery of RL. Will they still use the same Fixture formula when they are in Super League?

They have to get to SL first..

Whats the point then, surely they came into RL to play in Super League. Is it the same for Toulouse.

Yep.
