No. We know Wakefield provisonally going on what has been said should be comfortably in so that leaves Toulouse who could be somewhere near and although points for winning the competition are tiny, those extra points could see them sneak in there. The only other team on paper anywhere near is Bradford but there seems to be a lot of talk that they are near to their ceiling and their points could reduce rather than improve when it comes to the official rankings. 13 points is likley to be the lowest amount that will get you in and could be a touch higher so York would have to make up 3 points and doing that in the Championship is going to be very hard to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would leave them about 1.5 points short of being in the mix, going through the gradings I'm struggling to see how they get near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah theres pictures posted about on this forum, you will have to do a search for them though. Other people have said similar as well but I think I might be the only one who posted the evidence. FWIW I don't think the Bulls are alone in this by any stretch its just that theirs are picked out because they are the most obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could always pick up a half point by turning the pitch 90 degrees, thereby picking up the point for having corporate opposite the halfway line. The pitch is basically square anyway so it makes no difference….. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be going through a 'mini-Wakefield' reboot, and that looks like a hell of a lot to overcome. It's a lot of players but frankly not that many are big misses. There are a lot of very old players in that list and a lot of them have indeed retired. With more funding the only ones you'd probably want to keep are Hankinson, Cozza and maybe ET and Davies for depth. Obviously Hau as well but he was always just here on loan. I think Fev's 17 for next season is actually better than last season but the big issue is squad depth so a lot will depend on what we get from HKR and how they integrate into the squad when they come over.

Alright. I get that Craig Hall's knocking on (not sure where he'll play but good back up). You're happy to lose Briscoe though? Released because not good enough or too expensive? Genuine question.

Genuine question Briscoe's still a very good player, you'll love watching him and Hally, am not knocking these guys at all! Plenty of Fev fans wanted to keep Luke. As for your question, genuinely not sure. Fev are operating on half last year's budget hence why about 19 have moved on. Hard to say which ones were purely on economic grounds especially without knowing how much money each player was on.
