Winning in Toulouse will not be easy either, I fancy that Fev could also beat them in a one off play-off. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I don't think this is a case of all in,it's a couple of signings when push comes to shove. I just think it's a pointless waste of money which could be used elsewhere. Let's be truthful,we aren't going up this year,twp,Toulouse,Fev and York deserve it more. Given the fact we were rattling the collection buckets just prior to the season leaves me with a feeling that we were misinformed over the clubs finances because there's no way the supporters (certainly in the current economic uncertainty) have thrown this much money at the club. Mitch Clark is a loan as I understand so financially I'm not concerned but the others? Local lads have got us this far, why not use this "apparent " money and invest in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think Leigh have a much easier run in, but York could still beat the teams around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binosh Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Let’s not forget Featherstone did the same thing aswell, Widnes did the same thing behind closed doors (albeit nearly went bust shortly after) Hull KR did it when they came down as did Bradford and you can bet your bottom dollar whoever comes down this time will do it. The fact is other than Evans & Larroyer all players accepted a severance payment and were helped to find another club, Evans & Larroyer held out for more money which I can respect. Players are happy to return because what Derek did has been happening for years in Rugby League and although it appears cut throat at least he gave them a large pay off each rather than just telling them they were unemployed like Widnes did with Albert, Inu, Tangata etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has always been a end of season play off. Usually this is because of the uneven fixtures. Re. The Championship... basing promotion on a play off is entirely their business. I think it's bonkers, but it will be tasty for everyone except the club (any club) that runs away with it at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
