Well it might be 1 less to worry about.

They got some money to get through the play offs in the hope they would get promoted
Not sure they will see next season out without another cash payout

A Super League Toulouse would've been a much more difficult opposition in IMG terms than a Super League London in my view so it's the better of the two options for Trinity.

London will get pumped next year
They weren't expecting to go up so haven't secured any decent signings like Leigh did, Hughes doesn't seem overly interested, they haven't been in the top division in the last 3 years and their crowds aren't likely to set the world alight. We just need to get our house in order next year and we could be back in and much better prepared than we have been for the last 5 seasons.

Can't help thinking that London may well beat our record of number of "nills" and not even attain our four wins in a season in 2024.

Weren't Toulouse having financial difficulties, and talk about them going bust.

Yes, they were, though I believe that is now old news and someone is in the process of taking them over.

Hopefully, if so, were further down the road with our process than what they are. They too could bd in a position where theyre late to the party in getting their 2024 assembled.

London may be OK next season they have a very wealthy owner. Plus I don't see Salford being as strong as this season. Also I believe Cas are feeling the financial pinch because some of their signings don't look inspiring. Any club that needs to take Innes Senior on a years loan looks a bit desperate.

That's what was said last time by the amateur rugby league forecasters but they won 10 games and were very unlucky to go down.

I think the best chance we have at a return is replacing Cas, that's more of a 'like for like' but with us having a few nicer features at the ground. It wouldn't surprise me seeing London finding a venue that ticks a lot more boxes than ours.

We are already high on the ground side of things, once stand finished.
To beat us on that kind of stuff they need to fill it.

I would like to see us play smart and invest for any quick wins for guaranteed points.

The LED advertising for example that very few clubs will have is worth guaranteed points. It will bring in some income and if used right improve match day experience. It’s just the cost outlay.

These points are what will put us above other teams in certain areas and could compensate for areas that will take longer to improve.
