Literally millions with almost nothing to show for it? I hope attendances have gone up at least

Having seen Fev put 50 on us at Plough Lane, they looked awful. 

For that money I'd at least hope some of the players could try not to have such big guts.

Fantastic result for London. Featherstone their own worst enemy with their indiscipline. lost count of the number of head high tackles they committed. London the best team by far in the second half. What now for Featherstone though with Wakefield coming down and an owner promising to splash the cash?  Could have been their best and possibly last chance today to reach SL.

[Piggy's mate]

That was just awful from a Fev perspective. Can't imagine what they must think to blow it 2 years on the bounce

[Magic XIII]

Funniest thing ever. I gave us no chance but I didnt factor in Fev bottling it.

I wonder how many threads on Hughes being a waster and still won't watch London we can get to by the time of the final?

Yep I'm really looking forward to playing Leeds at Ebbsfleet next year....

I would like to say I am surprised, but sadly, I am not. What now for Fev, with all the money that has been ploughed in?

I hope the TO players Fév have approached over the last few weeks are thinking...merci mais non merci

Was a great game of RL - Proud that London managed to hold off in the end to win. 

Featherstone showed in that game that they really could of, and should have won that game IMO. When they decided to play rugby, they tore us to pieces.

London's attack looks very slick, but some defensive work to do before next week! 

Great win !

[Harry Stottle]

Where do Fev go from here?

This was their great opportunity to finally go up, THEY WON'T EVER NOW I DON'T THINK, IMG's grading system will see to that, also will MC be there to invest again?

[Bull Mania]

Get in London! 

[Guest]

The question now is if, and a big if, London won, where do they go?

They would need to find a FT squad in a few weeks. Which is bonkers.

I suspect there’s some availability at Brentford for a rugby team.

Well done mate, thought Deano was great for yous tonight.

[JM2010]

Are London favourites next week or does home advantage make Toulouse favourites?

IMG want London team so as you say thats probably sorted now for ever??

[HullWire]

No offence to Fev, but either of the two grand finalists will make SL seem more vibrant.

IN all serious talk @Leonard if we do go up it will be despite Hughes not because of him.   He took us Part Time remember. This side we have is still not a patch of our 2018 / 2019 side, as well as they have played last few days. We are still well below what we had 4-5 years ago

Obviously spending the money is a huge commitment but I hope that this doesn't put off owners from doing just that. The game is better for having money spent in it, as long as clubs don't go bust as a result. I really hope that that won't be the case with Fev.

We went to Toronto and won, we went to Fev and won, we can go to Toulouse and win. Come on London!

Beaten then twice already. But would say it is 50 50.

As a fan of both, happy with either outcome. Although London going up gives me the fear in the same way Luton going up is a hiding to nothing for them. 

[The Phantom Horseman]

Well done to London, better team won.

Thought the game changed on Brad Day's indiscretion about 10 minutes in the second half, Fev although 6 points down were bang on top at that point and London couldn't get out of their own 20m but then a sin bin offence after 5 tackles and the game completely changed, two tries for London when he was in the bin and that was pretty much it.

Good luck to London, we'll have to see what next year brings for Fev but this year was our big chance you feel.

You would not be on your own Leonard, all the 4 semi-finalists need a complete overall to compete in SL.
