Yes the teams in 3rd, 6th and 9th are really likely to all gain promotion.

...as likely as London, Toronto and Toulouse all going up!

Of the 3 I can see Toronto splashing the cash in Australia once the bottom 4 or 5 teams in the NRL have started their 'clear-outs" preparing for 2019....neither London of the white flag waving surrender monkeys have the cash. Any of the players mentioned in dispatches for the NYC bid would be prime targets...as would Money Bill Williams who apparently is no longer wanted by the AB's....his super rugby season is over in early August (if not sooner) and he'd love the chance to be the Centre of attention at Toronto for a few weeks.....SBW, Hayne.....then Toronto would be able to compete, but currently they look average at best.

The next 3 games will all be major tests for the French.....anything less than 4 points and they'll finish 3rd at best....3 home games, 4 away and 2019 Championship beckons.

The number of clubs in Super League 2019 is yet to be confirmed. If it’s 14, there is a chance Toronto, London and Toulouse could all gain promotion.

You've said it a million times Jean, we get it.

Toulouse have just destroyed a top 4 pretender which goes by the name of Halifax. 38-6 is a fairly decisive drubbing.

A full time TO have just beaten a well managed PT team who punch above there weight at home.

Let us watch Toulouse put Halifax to the sword again at Halifax later this year.

Full-time vs part time is irrelevant. If Halifax cannot compete full time then they don't deserve to be considered for promotion to Super League.

Re: Toulouse returns to top form : Sat Mar 24, 2018 8:01 pm  

I think you'll find that there's no-one at Halifax who considers that they have any chance of promotion to SL this season, or indeed for quite a while. We thought we'd turned a corner after beating Leigh, but that's been probably the only highlight for us this season. Hats off to TO, and well done today. We were hopeful that Fax would be competing for a top 4 place, but this does look increasingly unlikely now unless we can somehow recapture the form we showed towards the end of last season.

A fantastic result from an expansionist team against a heartlands team

The Championship looks a very interesting league this year, not just because of expansion clubs all doing well but because of the traditional clubs that they are continuously measured against. Without either of them. The league wouldn't be half as interesting.

Share the love!

If there ever is going to be a right time to expand Super League, it’s now.
