So today we find out which team joins us in the Championship next season. The sensible money has to be on Leigh, they are playing the better rugby and are at home.
I however believe Catalan will not be allowed to drop out of Super League. Being that I am getting more cynical in my old age I fear a stitch up.
If I was a fan of Leigh I would be worried.
My prediction, Catalan to stay up. Leigh to get tucked up.

How at this late stage do you propose the RFL will navigate themselves around that one???

same way they did for Huddersfield two years running. Merged bottom of the league Huddersfield to Sheffield hence shhuddersfield and then the following time merged Hull to Gateshead and bottom of the league shuddersfield escaped again. First and only time we were bottom we were relegated and the same should happen to Cats if they are beaten.

So who will Cats merge with Salford? Catalans red devils

So then with 6 minutes to go looks like Catalan are safe, good thing is all the doom Sayers can say the ref is responsible for the conspiracy to save Catalans from the drop.
Then again it shatters all the theories that Catalans never get any penalties!!!!
Not sure how that's going to work

Cats deserved that. Bring on Leigh. They will clear out the old guard. That team looked tired.

So Leigh, TO, Toronto and Us for top 4

Fev Fax looking for the upset.

Reserve judgement till we know what sort of pack and playmakers we have.

SR if Fev Fax can run competitive clubs on a shoestring it wont look well on out club management if we can't when we are FT.

You never know next season Qs might be irrelevant depending on what the clubs decide is the next new "new dawn" again.
Without doubt Toronto will push hard, I do think though they may do a Toulouse next year, fall short at the final fences, there last run of results I feel were tighter than they expected in L1
Toulouse a bit like us, it depends how they recruit.
Leigh are obviously going to want. To do a HKR and finish top of the pile, with them a lot depends on if they can keep the core of the squad.
Us ahhhh who knows, let's see who we get in.

I know it's not for everyone, and some folk think there should be no promotion demotion in our sport, but for me sport is about excitement and challenges.
The 8s I think have really come into there own.
What confuses me is the whinging about the MP game. If you are to have promotion then why not make it exciting, all the complaints by clubs involved revolve around people losing jobs etc, only difference would be if they got rid of the MP game would be it's decided a different way, one club was still relegated from SL this year, yes it would have been Catalan but would that not have just made there game against Widnes the week before there MP game?

I suspect the problem in this game with P&R is clubs try to buy safety and spend above there means( we aren't as wealthy as football). Franchising provides time to settle the club.

Times reporting the MPG is to be dumped and not used in the future, presumably because franchising to be re-introduced?

I hope so and if thats the case we need to understand the criteria and get a good proposal ready

scrap stupid play off games and add extra two to SL and straight forward system of 2 down 2 up.

The 2 that go up being the 2 that go down and the players move from one to the other, nothing like turning the clock back 20 years.
