Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021!

Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022!

Looks like London, Toulouse and Toronto all on 4 points after today's games.

The question is still unanswered: which one of them will replace Widnes?

Looking at the remaining fixtures I’d say it’ll be Toulouse who miss out in 6th. Tough to see them winning any of the remaining games unless Salford go through the motions in the final week against them as they’ll be safe by then.

I have a predicted run of results that puts Salford on 14, TO & HKR on 10, Leeds on 8 and Toulouse & London on 6.

I say "predicted", more a wish list.

I tried to engineer Leeds being away in the MPG, but that was TOO fanciful.

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.

There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT:

Salford v Leeds is Leeds CC Final/Grand Final this year...... They need to win it to avoid potentially 2 weeks of jeapordy. They beat Salford and they're safe......and Toronto will host London.....they lose then it will be twitchy bum time

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Toronto will blow it. London and Toulouse are my front runners for the MPG at the moment with London just sneaking it.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.

I think Toronto v London in the MPG, but a lot could depend on how much Salford put into their game against Tolouse, given that I think they will be already safe by then.

Before the m8s started I wondered if Toronto might choke. London and Toulouse have both beaten an SL team (Widnes). To get a chance of promotion they must beat either Leeds or Widnes.

Even with Leeds' issues, I can't see Toronto winning that one. If Widnes beat 'fax next weekend it might just give them a bit of a boost ahead of going to Canada.

Basically, Toronto will not get automatic promotion and may still miss out on the MPG.

London is a massive game for us at home next week and if we ease off like we did against Halifax, London have just enough to get one over on us. Points difference is important in such a short league but winning by any margin is more important. Looking at whats left, a minimum of 9 points will get you into the top 3.
