York beat Sheffield to leapfrog the Eagles into 4th on points difference

Fev can go 5th if they beat. Dewsbury by 26+, and 4th if they win by more than 80

Widnes could go into 4th if they can beat Toulouse, which would then give Bradford a chance of 2nd spot if they beat Halifax

Confirms my view that this is a very competitive division apart from us at the top and Dewsbury at the bottom. We'll need to be on top form come the play offs.

York vs Fev next week should be a cracker. In effect it’s a play off for the play offs.

Both Widnes & Sheffield should win, so the loser likely to be 7th & the winner 4th. Suspect that Fev will miss out & we will end up playing York in the PO semi at BV.

Agreed York v Featherstone is a massive game next week. If you take us and Dewsbury out of the equation it has been a fascinating season with the play off places only being finalised on the last day of the regular season. Four teams are competing for three places and one of them is going to be very unlucky. Such a shame that a TV deal wasn't sorted out to showcase the Championship to a wider audience

It might be competitive but the standard is awful.

There's some technically very good teams in the Championship, I'd go as far as to say there are games where Trinity have been outdone in pure rugby terms but our far superior physicality has won the game. Apart from the two outliers at either end of the table the Championship has been a close fought and exciting division this year.

I could say the same about some Super League games I’ve watched this season, turned a few games off before final whistle the game was so poor to watch.

Fitness levels have played a big part as well. How many games have we seen where the first half was tight then we have blown the opposition away the second half?

No different to SL where some teams seem fitter and more skillful than others

I've just read on serious about rugby league that David Hughes owner of London Broncos is pulling out of the club. It doesn't look good for them. It finally might put end to the London experiment .

Possibly. Or it might be an opening for someone/a syndicate to come in and take them to the next level. Hughes deserves massive credit for bankrolling them with inflated travel, accommodation, and ground rental costs, but I don’t think he has the kind of money they need to be competitive in SL these days. We know better than anyone that sometimes good things can come of big change.

A slightly less favourable scenario is that a group cobble together enough cash to keep them running as a semi-pro club. Genuinely thousands of people in London love RL, and if the club’s existence is in threat I’d be confident something would happen.

Toulouse score 11 tries and kick 10 goals in their 64-16 defeat of Batley

Yes, an element of nervousness creeping in for me at the moment seeing results of this type, especially from
Toulouse..

We are very motivated to beat Toulouse if we both make the Grand Final.

I think we'll really put them to the sword.
