Not necessarily. Dull KR may decide to rest anyone carrying a niggle. The cynic in me also thinks that if they do that and lose they won't be too disappointed to see the only team to beat them this year lose out on the 8s.
Wow! I must be psychic.
By your own logic probably one of Widnes, Leigh or Dull KR.
Please explain? I was just asking a question so hopefully someone with more knowledge than me could give an educated reply.
You had Warrington and Catalans being good enough to fill two of the top three spots. That leaves Widnes and Leigh to fight it out with, it pains me to say it, Dull KR (in all likelihood).
It seems like they are polar opposites at times. They are progressive in allowing French and Canadian teams into their system but there's also talk of them reducing the number of teams in the league and asking some of the weaker League 1 teams (teams away from the heartlands) if they would drop back to being amateur teams. I think the general consensus is that Wood and Rimmer aren't good value for their salaries (Wood is allegedly on £250,000 per year). England rarely play a home game outside of a WC/4N. There are rumours about the Challenge Cup possibly moving from Wembley. There was no WC 2013 legacy. They continually change the system the leagues are played under. It wears you down after a while.
The RFL and the SL can't seem to think beyond a season or two before they try to reinvent the wheel. It gets confusing and frustrating for RL fans. God knows what people with a passing interest think of the continual chopping and changing.
