Quote: northernbloke "If the conspiracy theorists are right, why on earth did the RFL not give the SL slot to TO rather than Leigh when they had the chance? Reckon they would have been more competitive and would have been able to play majority of games home and away.
An awful lot of folk last year were shocked that they didn't get the slot, now we have folk complaining and accusing RFL of dodgy dealings because they have gone through season 100%. and obviously are faves to go up.
They still need to win play offs.
If they screw it and don't go up then we could look at next season watching Fev or maybe Halifax getting tanked every week. Reckon Toulouse could compete.'"
Doubt the RFL have it within their gift to put anyone into SL without the SL teams agreement. Would they want to pay for a trip to France or wander down the road to Leigh. Bit of a no brainer really. Toulouse with their 3 Broncos will still find it hard if they can't invest but agreed they stand the best chance of any of staying up.
