Toovey was quoted as saying he is aware of a pending restructure that would save them from relegation.

Reading between the lines, that would suggest that SL would go to 13-14. 1-2 go up to SL, no one relegated. Meaning the same number would go up from L1 to Ch with also with no relegations.

They have to beat SL teams in the Middle 8s series to gain promotion.

Hull KR 35
London 30
Featherstone 27
Toulouse 26
Halifax 24

Top 4 play in the middle 8s. Everyone else too far off.

Thanks for the update on that

Its not even been discussed by the clubs yet,the meeting is next week

 

[deal.with.it]

The Guardian reporting meeting was held already at Haydock. Another prior meeting was held at Blackpool.

Big win by the roughyeds today,beating Toulouse 14-12..

But like last season,it's no good us beating the teams towards the top of the league and then we lose to the teams around us at the bottom...we'll only have ourselves to blame if we go down.

 

[adamkungl]

Another close Bradford loss and they're pretty close to 'mathematically impossible' to escape the bottom 2.
RFL to the rescue..

 

[Tigers1986]

Of course they'll restructure to protect Bradford - they should never have been in the Championship to begin with.

Will be interesting how they do it. The Super 8's were kinda cool in theory. 14 team SL competition with a 14-team championship and 12 team league 1? Or would L1 further expand?

 

[roughyedspud]

The swinton coach has just quit to join fev..

They don't need that at this stage of the season,could be the break us and Rochdale need to survive this season

 

[deluded pom?]

could be the break us and Rochdale need to survive this season

El Classico could be on again.

Think we play our 6 fingered friends next week?

Halifax win over HKR today they finish 4th, otherwise Toulouse do.

Obviously cheering for HKR, but Toulouse don't really have anyone to blame but themselves if Halifax win and take 4th. Losses to lower teams such as Swinton, Bradford, Oldham, Dewsbury, Sheffield etc will be what cost them, they looked nailed on for 2nd at one stage and have showed it was no fluke in the last 2 weeks.

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Will be hoping for HKR win, a toulouse v catalans match for points would be pretty cool

Your six fingered friends have just put you in a relegation spot.

 

[adamkungl]

KR tanked lol

 

[East Coast Tiger]

They didn't want to play Toulouse again.

 

[adamkungl]

I guess I shouldn't be shocked at a Sheens coached team turning to shit at the pointy end of the season.

Sad nonetheless, TO would have been the most interesting feature of the Middle 8s. Pinning my hopes on London now. Hopefully HKR stay down where they belong and are joined by Leigh.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

As long as Catalans stay up I don't care much.

They are starting to look better under McNamara
