jamescolin Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 If we get to the Final wouldn't it have been great to have the match as a curtain raiser at Old Traffolrd instead of playing it at Toulouse? If SL final is not at the top clubs venue then ours shouldn't be either. All part of RL scheme to get Toulouse into SL and enhance the French connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Haven beat Fax and win in Toulouse providing we win our play off game against Batley or Bradford Fev would be at home to Whitehaven in the Final.Would you want the game at Old Trafford or a nearly full Post office Road.Toulouse will deserve to be in S.L. if they remain unbeaten and win the Final they would be there on merit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin you've got to remember when sky got SL the challenge cup final was the biggest game in the world and sky had nowt to do with it and for the fist two seasons team finishing top were crowned champions but that not good enough for sky so they brought in grand final to crown champions in 98 so they could say look at us look at us we'ave got the biggest game now since then it's been stand alone full of hype and BS so no way would they let FEV by beating TO on grand final day take all the headlines from THE GRAND FINAL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeymagic22 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Personally I think the Grand Final should be at a neutral venue, but the clubs agreed to it being at the highest ranked team and therefore that's what should happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Phil Loxton Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 If by chance it is a Toulouse and Fev final and nobody can be sure. ( It's a funny old game) And if Toulouse beat Fev then they will have beaten us home and away (nuff said). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, when you go home from a game you've got to get a slide rule and then ask a nine year old kid whether you've moved up the league or not 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowys Backside Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Toulouse are bottlers. You have stuffed them in France before and you can stuff them in France again! You deserve a crack in SL and us Leythers can finally consolidate and keep Toulouse in the Championship the following year too! Good luck 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentoffagain2 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I like the top 6 play offs .It rewards the top two by giving them a week off then all being well the best two teams will end up in the final by their efforts on the pitch.With a division of 12/14 teams most will have something to play for.I think the bottom team should be relegated and the next to bottom play off with the runner up in the division below on a neutral ground.

Having a full squad of fresh players v a busted team where even the loan players brought in to replace other busted players are busted.

They're not exactly battle hardened as a unit and they've not really been tested, even by their closest rival. We were pretty awful when we played them. Remember Toronto blasting their way through the league to then choke when facing a fairly ordinary London team in the mpg? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldham gave them a game a few weeks back and they picked up some knocks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
