Sinfield is an English name. Were you not aware of that?

What are your thoughts on Toulouse’s demolition of Halifax, a club that finished in the top 4 in 2017. Do you now accept Toulouse are promotion contenders?

After 7 games, Toulouse have accumulated 12 competition points and have a 164 point difference...... we are nearly 1/3 of the way through the competition and I would say that on current form, Toulouse will make the Qualifiers.

Alas, we have no real way of assessing how London, Toronto, Toulouse of Featherstone Rovers will go when competing against Salford, Catalans, HKR and one from Huddersfield/Widnes, but for those that didn't like the "predictability of licencing", it must be quite worrying that we probably know the line up's for the Super 8's and Qualifiers in March, 4 months and 16 fixtures away from when those competitions start......there will be a few transfers announced with clubs spending to stay up......it's just like 1999 all over again.
Speaking of predictability, we also know which 2 clubs will battle relegation from the 2nd tier and at the bottom of the third tier, the last 5 teams are all expansion clubs......

Lovable London have just thrashed swindling Swinton 64-18. This reinforces the view that we need London AND Toulouse in Super League.

On what grounds have they been swindling??? Thats a serious allegation

I don't get what you mean by Catalans finnishing in the bottom 4, makes the regular season meaningless? They'll Finnish in the bottom 4 (like last year) or not. Because they deserve to be there after 23rds. Or do you think they should just be relegated if they Finnish bottom?

And I take it that you think the top 4 play off is alright?

As for the question. Depends on who the bottom 4 in SL are, and who they get at home or away? It's possible but doubtful.

And as a report for yesterday. You could put, the full time team who had 2 weeks off due to not being in the CC, beat the part time team who played on Monday night.

I think it’s ridiculous that come round 24, the 9th placed SL club will be in exactly the same possible as the 12th placed club, the number of points accumulated in rounds 1-23 will be worthless.

Personally I don’t think we should have relegation, as is the case in the NRL and in nearly all American/Australian sports, which are very successful. If we are going to insist on having relegation, yes it should be the team that finishes in last place.

Re: Is it possible that London and Toulouse both get promote : Mon Mar 26, 2018 6:47 am  

Don't they(the higher team) get an extra home game out of the 7 played?

Whilst I believe that we should have relegation (and we're never going to agree on that).
I do think that your right, and that it's the bottom placed team that goes down. For the same reason I don't like the GF, or top 4 play offs. After 23 rd's, you replace the league with what is basically a cup competition. Rendering what has happened before meaningless other than the way the fixtures fall.

The problem we have regards Australian/American sports, is that they have such an infrastructure below the professional aspect, that it's all geared for success. We don't. They are also very good at selling there sports, we aren't. They also make attending a game an event, we can't be bothered. Plus the amount of coverage in the media etc.
And funny enough there both very insular countries. That would take years (if at all), to possibly think of allowing another country to join, looking at every aspect to see that it's successful. We don't.

Do you think that is enough of a reward for finishing 9th not last? System is flawed in my opinion.
