Not quite sure where Fev go from here as a club, you feel they had to get promoted this season to stand any chance of being a SL club in the near future, can't see them getting in with IMGs grading criteria to come in from 2025

Wow, Fev blown it again. 25 wins from 27 and almost +800 points difference but they miss out and that was realistically their only chance of playing in Super League.

Fingers crossed for Toulouse next week.

Can't go wrong with Toulouse or London coming up.

Great to see Fev bottling it again

Biggest shock in RL since Fev beat us in 1983 !!

I imagine they'll cut budgets and scale things back
This was their big chance and they've bottled it big style

A good night for expansionists but have to say ive always found the Championship playoffs a cruel way to decide who goes up, Fev had the title wrapped up weeks ago and could have been preparing for SL. The other year Toronto won it in July and it would have only taken a bout of sickness, a bad ref decision etc on grand final night for the odds to be upset.

Probably for the best for SL though, Fev is a tiny place even if they won the treble they can only attract a small crowd

Londons quite a big place but won't attract crowds much bigger than Fev if they gain promotion.

Pleased for London they hit form several weeks ago and wouldnt be surprised if they turned Toulouse over although i would love Toulouse to get back into S/L.
That said what a stupid system we have/had when a team like Fev run away with the Championship title yet have to go into a play off

Do the Fev players bottle it on purpose so the part time players can keep their day jobs?? Amazing from London who finished 11th in the championship last season

Must admit I thinking the same thing!

Said to you on Saturday Steve we shouldnt write London off to beat Fev and turn Toulouse over because their form over the last few weeks has been top quality and confidence at a high.
From a personal point of view would like to see Toulouse back as i think the RFL could have given them a two season dispensation to establish themselves in S/L and out of all the Championship clubs they have the finance to strengthen the squad knowing there is no relegation which this season they have been reluctant to do
