Leeds looking very vulnerable with top 2 to play. Us and KR have what looks to be easier run in Games v Leeds and KR getting really important now, although getting the feeling the last game of the season for us could be it.
More to the point, think if all the stars aligned looking at championship results as well the RFL could implode and end up in a right state. Consider it! We get enough to stay up. Leeds finish bottom and drop. In the championship Toronto fluff it again (their last few results have been close) and York get promoted.

Yeah but leigh have been there seen it and done it, York having one season in championship would be the one for me to get to the rfl most. Having to travel for 4 of our last 6 is not good have to agree on that, our pitch has possibly caught a few out, or they have been scared of it.
We will go down...... But on a points number greater than any before. Toronto are frightening many sides...... As in they wont go down, so who's next for the drop...... I suspect a reshuffle at the seasons end with the two GF teams from the champs and relegated side making a 14 side sl with a new TV deal announced....
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.

That sounds far too sensible for the RFL but if it gets rid of the dumb loop fixtures & the rather short of Magic Weekend then bring it on.
Toronto have not gone up yet! Sensibly the top flight should be 14 clubs, there are enough players out there to sustain it. Play each other home and away
