What the Chamoionship sides don't have is the week in week out "intensity" of the Super League. They have the luxury of having easier games with the odd tough one thrown in. Having to raise your game each week could be an issue for them. I also think last years MPG will have put the bottom four SL teams on notice. They now know it's possible to get relegated and won't want a repeat.

Believing their own hype. Scraped home at the summer bash against a very poor bulls team. Lucky to get a point last week against Featherstone and now this. Even if they turn it around do they honestly think those last 3 performances would get them a result against the bottom 4 of sl. Love to have the derby back but wouldn't be to disappointed to see them stay down for few years. Find the whole arrogance that came from their relegation staggering. Be very interested how the fans would except another year of championship rugby.

On track to seal automatic promotion. On another point London beat Dewsbury 52-8, so they go 8 from 8, seem to be building strong winning margins at the right time.

for those of us who worry about these things, warrington's defeat today means they cannot overhaul us in the regular season. Widnes and Leigh already could not. Only Catalan can prevent us from getting a top 8 finish and with a points diff of around 200 in our favour we are all but mathematically there now. still a battle on down there with hudds win over catalans dragging wigan heavily into it

Yeah, Salford and Leeds confirmed in top 8 today, but not us yet.
