manu266 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 1 hour ago, POR said: to get into MPG you only need 6 points so that's championship teams 10 points gets you automatic promotion so which two super greed teams do you think you got the best chance of beating one last thing don't look at league tables qualifiers are different animals in 2015 Leigh like TWP walked the championship but in qualifiers came bottom wining only one game Well it's hard to believe Widnes can beat Toronto at Lamport, but they were in a similar position last year and they did better that Leigh and Catalans in the Qualifiers. Hull KR has also a huge advantage, having played for promotion last season. Leeds has zero momentum so if TWP draw them on match 1, watch them go. The championship matches are no automatic 6 points. London will come back stronger at Lamport and Toulouse, well we don't know what they can do here so méfiance... I'll give my predictions when the fixtures is revealed but it will be difficult for TWP to finish 3rd and automatically (?) promoted. Anything below 4th would be a disappointment though.

CanadianRugger Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Going to the Toulouse game! I was hoping to go see a match in August but I'm going to be up in James Bay for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a personal point of view I would have liked the Halifax game on Saturday and a game in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday is a bit of issue. Have to get used to that I guess IF TWP goes up, but could be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loup Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Like the schedule but would have liked to have game 7 at the Den as it could be the most critical.

Well they promised us full coverage, it would be really frustrating for us not to get away games. But for sure if it's not on the Sky line-up, that means it's blacked out for the UK. No chance on getting it on TWPTV either, it's blocked for UK users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Salford away game has been chosen by Sky, but not the first game against Halifax. Can Premier Sports get rights to show that in Canada?

They can but they cannot show it on their UK channel. TWP should get the broadcast rights for Canada, with the agreement of the RFL and the host team, and show games at least on their TWPTV platform, and/or on a Canadian channel.
