London are thin as a squad. Lose Samut & Api and they will struggle.

Jossy if Barthau and Ackers were still there we would be stronger certainly on paper. But they are no so we must push on.

One of those teams was the favourites to finish top of the Championship. It doesn’t matter who you beat, it still gets you 2 league points and the league doesn’t lie.

Leigh are most assuredly destined to finish higher than 9th, but as you say, you can only beat what is in front of you and the fact is that their 3 wins have come against sides who collectively are 1 win from 11 games thus far and are playing another win-less side on Friday in France......Leigh being poor aside, their first 5 Fixtures features 3 home games against the 3 weakest sides in the competition. I cannot see Toulouse winning a game on the middle 8's should they get there.

You mean Leigh's three wins which they have not had?

Learn to write in English, Gutters. They still use that language in many parts of New Zealand.

London and Toulouse getting promoted would be an ideal situation, with Toronto and New York (starring Jarryd Hayne and Sam Burgess?) being promoted the following year.

Nice to hope for but probably not.

Toulouse made clear it’s a long game for them. So see it more that last year allowed them to establish in the Championship, this years target is probably as a minimum top 4, learn and then push next year.

Broncos have to somehow avoid injury to key players, as squad of recognised names are thin. Number of very good kids coming through (at least into a winning structure unlike seasons of yore) but relying on them would at this stage be too much of an ask.

Unless there are a couple of really weak SL teams it’s unlikely, one or either of the two are promoted.

100% agreed, along with Montreal and Florida 2 years after that.
