GUBRATS Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Fev to be clear favourites ATM , don't see any of last year's teams bridging the gap , so essentially down to the comings and goings at the LSV if we are to see anything but a one horse race IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fev were streets ahead of any English team. Us because I think we've recruited well. Fax are always there and over looked constantly. Leigh I feel won't bounce straight back. Newcastle full time will help. Barrow a club with momentum. 1 Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going full time I think Newcastle will be near bottom along with Haven Barrow Dewsbury Sheffield. Workington and possibly London to be relegated and I'll go for Bradford top Thunder apparently signed Pauli Pauli and Alex Foster for next season. That doesn't scream bottom of the championship to me... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The Championship looks pretty open to me, should be a great competition. Fev could be a bit weaker with departures. Leigh will be right up there, they have a parachute payment coming and the experience of playing in a fully pro competition in 2021. What's unknown though is will there be promotion in 2022. That has not been confirmed yet as far as I know since the 2023 SL structure is still be decided upon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the same outcome will occur if they remain PT. You can’t go to MPG’s and think you can win it on a PT basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've named 7 teams for possible basement dwellers from a 14-team league Presumably the other 50% will be fighting to be top?

I was sort of replying to those on this thread who believe Newcastle simply going FT will make them one of the top Championship teams next season. 12 good Championship players is probably the absolute minimum to push top 4 and even then they will need to be lucky with injuries - at least 2 of the players linked to them haven't exactly got glowing recent injury records 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will always now have to look at FT prospects and place FT contracts in their hands. That comes at a cost which isn’t funded. Requires long term investment with with deep pockets.
