Really feel for the Fev fans though, this is heartbreaking stuff.

Wow! Really mixed feelings about this. I like Featherstone a lot but also like the idea of London or Toulouse in SL. Also looking forward to derbies with Fev next year (I don't think I'm being premature in saying that!) but my overwhelming feeling is that this must be a massive warning shot across the bows for what could happen to Wakefield next year.

The biggest risk to Trin's promotion hopes next year is if Toulouse go up this season.

That would mean that both of those two would have two seasons of the built-in advantages of SL for their grading. That could make it close on which of them make the 12 for 2025 (and subsequently long term).

London (or Fev) going up (and those SL advantages for only one of the three years) would mean Wakefield are big big favourites for a return to SL.

Plucky southern amateurs come up against giant northern professional team

Not sure I like this score. Quite happy to go to POR again knowing we won there, but not so sure about London coming to Toulouse knowing they have beaten is twice this season and they have had two fantastic last two games. 

However...nice afternoon out at the game followed by dinner and wine at the Cartoucherie edges a long weekend away via Ryanair at POR with pie and chips.

Futtocks you should have understood Browny by now, mate

London came to barrow not to long ago and were the best side we played at craven park this year in my opinion. Brilliant to watch unfortunately

How’s Leilua gone this season, has he looked a class above? Or just overweight and lazy?

News just in

 

Coca Cola moving their bottling plant from Wakefield to Featherstone.

CEO states that their many years of successful bottling on big occasions is the reason for the move.

So so so funny I'd be moving my car out of the car park now

[OriginalMrC]

Looks like this season has been defined by coach sackings. London benefitting from Lovegrove being sacked and Fev getting rid of Long. 

[JimBronco]

This is tense.

London puffing now.
