No cert that Leeds will beat Toronto. We were garbage yesterday, in fact we've been garbage throughout. It'll be close.

Toronto Wolfpack and Toulouse

Toronto are knackered and Leeds will be playing to avoid having to play in Canada next season. Comfortable home win.

London should host either Toronto or Toulouse in the MPG, but after the weekends results, nobody can really accurately predict what will happen. I will say that the home team in the MPG will have a major advantage and 2017 SL Grand Final Winners Leeds should be able to defeat the Champions from 2 tiers below 12 months ago, so I see London Hosting Toronto (but with a bit of luck, Toulouse)

So, in the regular Championship season, Toronto scored an average of 38 points a game, but in the Qualifiers, they've averaged 20 points a game.......no matter who the opposition was, SL or Champ? On Closer inspection they average 30 points against the other 3 champ sides in the regular season, so they've changed their game plan slightly......so winning at any cost is now their style. Problem for Toronto is they've conceded 17 points a game in both the regular season and the 8's........so defensively they are drilled, but their attack has been blunted for this game.....
....for them to stand any chance they need 80 minutes like they had in the first 20 v Wire earlier this year.....otherwise I feel Leeds may well bury them!

Leeds are all but safe. It'd need a big TWP win and a huge one by HKR to see us in the MPG.

For Leeds to be in jeopardy, it would take Salford, Toronto and KR all to win and for KR & Toronto to win BIG, which is very, very unlikely.
The fun really starts on Thursday and IF Toulouse could beat Salford in their own back yard, things would get mighty interesting as we would go to Friday with 5 clubs still able to secure a SL spot.
It's highly unlikely and Salford will be keen to secure their own survival but, for the neutral, it would add another layer of excitement.

I note a few of the Leigh regular posters have opted for London. That must be frustrating give that you did the clean sweep of the Broncos during the season in the league and cup.

Margins are so tight. You lose to Batley and we beat Salford. Amazing how fortunes can change so quickly.
