2024 attendance thread
Jill Halfpenny fan replied to N2022's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Haven't bothered looking at the gradings in recent months but if Leigh, Cas and Wakefield all improve is it possible that Salford and Huddersfield could get dragged in to the spreadsheet bunfight? -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Toulouse will score 1.5 points for population. Castleford and Wakefield will score 0.5 points. 1 point equates to 9 places on the league ladder. Overcoming poor performance when you're being gifted ridiculous advantages like that probably says more about the scoring system than anything else. -

Rugby league has been dying or dead in this country for the last fifty years if you believe what you read. It's still here. Trust me, it could survive relegating Hull, Leeds, Warrington, whoever. Locking in the same teams who in your opinion have put it on life support will make no difference whatsoever. -

He should take on board your advice Griff, like what I did. -
From a Widnes viewpoint, Dewsbury have given us plenty of problems both home and away in recent seasons so I suspect most of us would have took yesterday's performance and result. Signing Murray and having Langtree available have made a big difference to our pack but we've had a few false dawn's in recent seasons so we won't get carried away. Tbh I doubt any Widnes fan thinks we're anything special but so far they are playing for each other, putting in the effort and grinding out the results. Two more vital points in our relegation battle.

I'm looking forward to the end of the season when 14 into 12 doesn't go. That will be funnier than watching Hull try to defend their line.
