Most of the players left out hare or are going to have surgery on injuries. They have been playing needled up for the past 4-6 weeks. Why would you continue to play once what you wanted to achieve has been achieved?

The Leigh and Widnes fans wont be happy

Then they shouldn't be happy with their own teams. Wire and Rovers have deservedly been put back into Superleague. If Widnes and Leigh don't like it then that's tough but its how it is.

thats just tough/unlucky

Every cloud......

Cue the "they're bringing the game into disrepute... showing a lack of integrity....not doing us any favours" claptrap

The RFL won't be too bothered, there eyes are looking over the English Channel.

And there across the English Channel th RFL see the Garden of Eden, where before too long (hopefully by 2019) we can have the Catalans vs Toulouse local derby twice or three times a year (including Magic Weekend). Moreover the RFL imagine the euros will start pouring into a new TV deal, which involves telecasting all Catalans and Toulouse home games (to be shown on Sky, hence an improved Sky TV deal for the RFL) and Avignon joining League 1 or the Championship in 2019, with homes games televised on French TV.

Maybe the RFL should move from Red Hall Lane to Rue Aime Ramond in Carcassonne and concentrate on the A61 corridor from Toulouse in the West to Narbonne in the East.

If Widnes and Leigh have a problem with Hull KR they should have beaten them themselves. They had Super League advantage over a Championship team. As it is, tough.

100% this

Still in Widnes' hands really so can't complain. With their much better points difference over Catalans then win their last two games and they're up.

I'm going for controversy here...

Widnes and Leigh to end on 6 points in 5th and 6th. Widnes auto relegated because Leigh stuff Halifax.

London win final 2 games.

London vs Leigh in the MPG with London having home advantage.

Leaving a possibility of 2 clubs changing over.

As for all the Widnes fans stating a championship club beat them.... when you are in the Middle 8s you are immediately classed as a FORMER SL team. You are no longer an SL team, but rather, requalifying to get into SL again. Its a realisation I got last season.

Very true, those in the middle 8s are no longer super league or championship clubs, they are all in the same new competition with the best 4 being promoted to super league and the worst 4 being demoted to the championship at the end of it

Out of interest, do London have a ground to SL standards, assuming SL has a minimum criteria ??

London don,t have, never have had , a ground, thats their problem, no roots, with all their multi millionair owners not a penny spent on a base, even a brown field site bought 20 years ago would be worht 10x that today, so i don,t think it will ever happen, so a nomadic existance, till they flop, shame.

Although they have never owned a ground they played at The Stoop, Brentford and Charlton grounds in the past, which were all decent grounds. You are seeming to suggest all clubs own there own ground. Do Huddersfield, Wigan, Leigh for example?

Having spoken to the owner he has committed to further spending on players, marketing and a ground should we be promoted

A lot of teams don't own their own grounds in SL, what they have is a long term agreement in place to play at a set stadium that secures their location. London need get such an agreement and then stick to it. The trail finders might be it if it can be developed like I believe was been mooted.

The stoop was a great ground but I think the RU history surrounding the Quins was always going to work against them.

If you are stating London's ground isn't good enough, then Wakey are worse. They currently don't have anywhere to play in 2018.

Wrong re Wakey we do have somewhere to play just can't confirm which option it is until latest meetings with Council re new ground debacle have taken place.

Massive game for Widnes yet they only get what looks like 2k or less? Our nothing game last night had 7.4k.

The praise Andrew Henderson gets is totally OTT, getting beaten easily by this poor Widnes team. It's not only today, when it matters, they simply can't get the result. They're a full time outfit and finished second in the championship as was to be expected. He needs to have them working on defence more.

RD 7 - Catalan v Widnes & London v Leigh.

Leigh + Widnes wins = Leigh v Catalan
Leigh <28 points + Catalan wins = Widnes v Leigh
Leigh >28 points + Catalan wins = Leigh v Widnes
Catalan/Widnes draw + Leigh win = Catalan v Leigh.
Any leigh lose or draw = Widnes/Catalan v Leigh.

It's looking like a mouth watering Leigh v Widnes MPG

So we either lose that horrible plastic pitch that simply shouldn't be allowed in SL or we lose these cocky Leigh fans that thought that they would be the bee's knees in SL when they were promoted


Win Win either way

It's quite remarkable how quiet the Leythers have got as the season has progressed, most only really pop up to pick on the fake frenchy these days
