Its ironic isn't it. Any concerns you could sweep the board in the championship and then get knocked back by the spreadsheet? I can't remember where you where in the draft run. Leigh and Cas appear pretty bullish that they'll survive which would leave yourselves, Bradford and Toulouse fighting over London's place. With the dice so loaded against championship clubs miss out this time and it could be game over.

Well, he was born in Widnes and he did play a couple of games for Widnes and Doug Laughton who seems to figure prominently in this thread was also from Widnes. So as thread drift goes this seems to have stayed pretty much on ltrack.

Apples and Oranges Jon. The Widnes team of the late eighties had the lot, size, speed aggression and no little skill. That lot training full time would be a match for just about anyone today.

You should have got yourselves relegated years ago.

I quite like trains as well.

Excellent second half from Widnes, another vital win.

Bradford 19 Toulouse 12 FT

Bradford 18 Toulouse 12. 65 mins

Think you've been more comatose than sleeping these last few years mate. Hope they sort it out if only for your sake.

They'll probably just expand the numbers who qualify for the play offs. After 6 games this season I'd suggest the top ten may be the way to go.

The thing is Jon, ignore the local authority, how many people live within say 30 minutes of Wimbledon, must be hundreds of thousands if not millions. London shouldn't receive points for population, nobody should. The population alone gives you a much better chance of pulling a crowd if there's any interest there.

Almost a local derby for my lot in this division. It will be nice to play Fax on a Sunday afternoon. .

That is my understanding.

Seems like this guy had an annual moan about relegation, this season he's got a club who can't be relegated and this happens. Such is life.

In 2022 Toulouse finished 12th, in 2023 Toulouse finished 14th (2nd in championship), in 2024 its possible to get relegated from 12th but to be on the safe side lets say they finished 13th in the championship (25th overall) So 12+14+25=51. If we divide 51 by 3 we get 17 which would be there or thereabouts where Toulouse would finish on the performance ladder. The population point would improve that position by 9 places on Wakefield and Castleford. So, by my calculations it seems it would be possible for them to get relegated and still achieve SL. It would seem the original poster may be correct even though we both know Toulouse won't get relegated. Hope you enjoyed the maths.
