A consequence of scrapping relegation is that you might have Cas, Salford and London potentially all being relatively uncompetitive for next season, London won't panic buy and Cas and Salford seem to have reduced their playing budgets to maybe try focus on other aspects of IMGball and keep their SL status

The huge problem with scrapping relegation is bottom 4 or 5 clubs have nothing to play for from July onwards

So 4 or 5 clubs basically playing friendlies for last 2 months

Weird timing, was hoping it would be a year or two looking.

Some positive words from both Balmforth and Smith, really hope he gets a chance early next season and he takes it.

No relegation next year, unlikely to challenge for a trophy, I'd love for Smith to take some risks with his team selection l.

Reading between the lines , It looked like TS wasn't particularly happy with his fitness . The stint at Newcastle has seemed to have helped him on this a lot and gained much needed first team experience , Looking forward to seeing what he has to offer and kick on and pressure the other players for the 9 Jersey .
