Wouldn't it be a lot better if all the games were at the same time though to make it fair.

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.

No real preference who goes up to be honest.

I'm sure you'll be reminded when fortunes change again.Anyway,you have a great opportunity to get into SL. Good luck.

I've supported this club through administration, Wembley final, relegation and moving grounds regularly so its nothing new(London and Leigh have something in common!). Im not sure the club is ready to go up. The foundations are improving but they certainly aren't good enough to compete week on week with SL sides. Going up could set the club back if it goes disastrously wrong which it has the potential to do. (especially if we pick a few of yours and Widnes rejects up )

I agree that we aren't ready, but my biggest fear is that if we do go up, Hughes will have "paid his debt' of the debacle of the 2013 close season and subsequent relegation. As I have posted on the London forum, IF london are to go up, then getting trailfinders to a 4k capacity and filing it 11 times in the regular season will be key to the clubs long term survival......alas, Hughes has a track record of believing that fans should just show up if he puts a game on and will never think any other way.

...but I digress. London will have earn't the right to play in SL should they get there, Ready or not!.

I fear that the Fax boys will be ready for their hols next weekend, but equally I do know that they're desperate not to end on nil points in the 8's. It's not a foregone conclusion that London will take 2 more points this weekend...

Not at all, but as I posting in a "prediction" thread, I will post that as the team "IN FORM" London should win. The margin has been twice this year has been small both times but as you say, the Fax side will either be on holidays or out to not finish bottom......my money (if I were a gambler) would be on London to win by more than 3 scores, but a lot depends what occurs on the two previous nights.

By Sat London will know broadly what they need to win by. They will beat Fax convincingly either way. The team is running hot at the moment.

What do Salford bring to Super League? They have absolutely no fans for an end of season must win game, only a matter of time until they hit the wall now Marwan isn’t bank rolling them.

What a shame the Qualifiers are going. They’re the most interesting thing about Super League in this country outside the two big finals.

Although, that maybe because the low Salary Cap has bred so much averageness that the largest pool of players is of the average standard at the bottom of SL and top of the Champ so that’s where the biggest competitive range of teams is.
