Hello Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) 48 minutes ago, The Future is League said: With Leigh likely to get promoted it will become a more balanced league Not really. Toulouse will likely dominate in the same way. As they did the previous season when they got promoted, beating everyone including Leigh, not dropping a single point despite the massive disadvantage of having to play every single regular season game away due to covid.

They’ll have plenty of SL experience but it won’t be a cake walk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 6 hours ago, Archie Gordon said: Crowds seem to be a key missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle for them. Able to do ok for play-offs but a massive struggle to gain much interest for run-of-the-mill fixtures at the Wallon. To be honest, we heard many of the same noises 12 months ago ... To be fair, their crowds were half the size that they are now three or four years ago, so they have been very much on the up and give it a few more years and they will be higher still unlike the majority of SL clubs whose crowd numbers have stagnated for years now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, The Daddy said: Playing every other week is not an advantage as performance is normally linked to playing on a week to week basis Over a season it is a massive advantage. Especially factoring in Covid. Players are fresher and less likely to sustain injuries. Injured players have a week longer to recover. There are also less games for players to be suspended. This is why the top two in Super League have a week off in play offs. Additionally It is a lot easier to win 14 games than 28. Think of cricket batting averages. It is more difficult to averages over 50 after 20 matches than 10 as it requires greater consistency. It's not a criticism as they were the best team. But they did play less games and they certainly didn't beat Leigh Edited September 16, 2022 by Niels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audois Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Peyroux signed up again -think he took over captains job from Gigot . Work horse Hansen also signed up as has Pelissier. Russell wants a SL contract so leaving along with Sangare who has signed for Leeds. Stade Ernest Wallon was best used for the play- offs 2021 6000 for the Batley Semi final and 9000 for the Final against Featherstone. Even this year when their case was over they pulled in not far from 10,000 for the Dragons game.

If you offered any team the chance to lose all of their home fixtures in the regular season, I don't think a single one would view that as a potential advantage since home teams have a significantly higher chance of winning on average. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTK Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Gigot, Navarrette, Russell, Norman all confirmed to have left the club now - Dixon, Paulo, Puech, Sangare all already gone with Lloyd White likely retiring as well.
