Id Bradford continue winning half their games they'll likely survive in the Championship.
Hard to see the bottom teams winning more than 3 or 4 on current form.

I expect Bradford to finish around 7th.

Looking forward to our games against Feath and Toulouse to test us . Be nice to get a lower SL club in challenge cup as well to gauge where we are at ready for middle eights.

Strong away win for Toulouse against a probable top 4 team in Featherstone. Good effort by Halifax also in pushing Hull KR close.

Does anyone think Toulouse can go up this year? And if so, can Catalan do enough to avoid the drop? Be good to see the two as regular Superleague sides from 2018 to drive the game and TV revenue in France. It would also be good to see both of them be joined by Toronto in 2019 / 2020

Seem more than capable of finishing top 4 - getting over KR and a desperate SL side is a different ask entirely though.

Matched up with full rosters, you'd have to say that any of the SL sides are better than any of the Championship sides, that's why they're there after all.
Beating them will require top form, likely some late season recruiting (is the money there?) and probably some luck with results, injuries and the plain old bounce of the ball.

If they can finish 2nd in the Championship and get 4 home fixtures in the Middle 8's then they could maybe make the MPG.

I really hope they can.. Don't think they will but if they can make the Middle 8's then that would be awesome for Rugby League. It may depend on the money they have to chase up a late season boost. Leigh had the money and by that stage in the season there are some really good players who can't get a go in the top grade in Aus who can come in and get you over the line. It would be amazing for Rugby League to get Toulouse in the SL and have Toronto knocking down the door next season. It would begin to give the super league a point of difference between it and the NRL

Nope...It's a parachute payment.

Cracking last minute win over Bradford today by us...Makes a change,it's normally us on the wrong end of these results.

Dewsbury 6 - 38 Featherstone
Halifax 38 - 28 Swinton
Hull KR 50 - 16 Batley
Oldam 26 - 22 Bradford
Rochedale 14 - 52 Toulouse
Sheffield 32 - 20 London

Looks like Toulouse have learnt how to win in England.
