GeordieSaint Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Toulouse, Leigh and Featherstone will be the favourites for promotion. Widnes, Bradford, Sheffield, London and Halifax in the pack behind... should be a great competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting how they go in season 2 as they'll be no longer under the radar. Batley had a great season (and an almost identical knack of winning the close games) a few years ago but didn't kick on from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris22 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 With Toronto coming up, the Championship may improve next year. The side who have gone down have lost a few players, so there are a number of promotion candidates. It's a huge opportunity for Toulouse, the biggest chance they have had to get to Super League. London, York, Leigh and Fev would all back themselves and cannot be ruled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiedean Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 In addition to the battle at the top, it should be fiercely competitive at the other end too. Not that it is fun to talk about relegation this far out, but, if Swinton can sort out their off field issues, there doesn't look an obvious team out of their depth right now...

AB Knight Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’ve never really understood this ‘under the radar’ thing. It’s not like York are some secret unknown club playing their games behind closed doors. Opposition coaches (if their team didn’t have a game) were often seen at Bootham Crescent checking out how we played in the weeks before their game with York. Mentally maybe certain players from other clubs thought little old York would roll over and so didn’t prepare as intensely as they would when playing the likes of Fev, Leigh, Widnes etc. But anyway yes it should be a great season, will be nice to have another trip down to London and for what it’s worth if someone offered 5th position I’d take that now. It looks an incredibly competitive league and with the new stadium move coming up I know sometimes clubs can take a while to adjust to the new surroundings, plus I have a feeling the player turnover at York will be higher than previous years, which again takes time to gel.

It could easily be Bradford if they actually make it to the start of the season and are allowed to continue in this league. Other than that I think the 2 heavy wollen teams will be in the mix for the drop come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's no 12-point deduction, we've 13 signed-on players and a good enough set of youngsters to keep us up.
