| From a Cas Tigers perspective I would hope that it doesn't come down to the last game of the season in 2014. Confident in DP and the squad he is putting together.
Regarding Wakey - a lot can change in the space of 12 months so anything could happen. As it is now the futures looking bleak but if an "electrician" type benefactor can be found or Daddycool can work his magic there is hope. It has come at the worst time possible though with 2 going out next year. Keep the faith.

I live in South West London, it doesn't take much longer for me to get to Cas home games as it does to get to London ones. You have no idea what you're talking about.

And inbetween you in SW London and NE London is a city that can barely get 3000 fans to watch RL. That's the point, not how long it takes you to get to games.

For me it's a little bit early to say, need to see how recruitment goes, how Cas replace Chase, will Wakefield have to sell anymore players to survive, how Bradford recruit. How will Fev if they come up will do.
Only one I would pick now are London/Fev.'"
No matter how much Fev club/fans dream they won't be promoted for next year.
There's no point as it doesn't give them a fair crack at the league. Plus I'm sure that I read somewhere that the rest of the clubs had voted to go with 13 teams should one drop out.
FWIW I think that they would stick with 13 and then relegate the bottom club and promote 2 from the Championship

As other people have said, my argument is that London can't generate crowds. Don't know if it is down to poor marketing or what, but for a city of 7 million people, it is an embarrassment that they get less crowds than Cas, Wakey, and Salford do. This is a fact, not something I have made up.

| The three Yorkshire clubs of Bradford, Wakefield and Castleford plus Widnes are all are high risk with London the obvious favourite.
Widnes look relatively stable and have the advantage of a the iPitch whilst they also seem to benefit from their neighbours resting players against them and thus nabbing a couple of unexpected wins each year. They are terrible in defense but they should narrowly avoid the bottom with about 10 wins or so.
I think Castleford have the best manager of these clubs and are without the financial problems of three of the four others and they will probably be just about safe. Without Powell I'm pretty sure that Cas would have bumped along the bottom with Salford and London. However there isn't a lot of quality in the squad and the loss of Chase means Cas will need to rely on two guys at halfback who have had off field problems and fall outs plus have suffered from poor form. They won't get much beyond 10 wins and they will need to get more than a single point from London next year if they are to survive.
Wakefield will lose players due to financial reasons but I think their passionate support and good quality squad will be enough to bring in the new players and still do ok. They seem to string a row of wins together each year and I think they can do it again next time out, I don't think they will drop.
Bradford look a thin squad and have a very quiet crowd thus little home advantage and I fancy them to finish in the bottom two. They will do just enough whilst everyone is match fit but when they aren't they'll not win many.
London will be universal favourites to drop but they have managed to clear about half of the underperforming players off their rota and have a huge amount of salary available to build up. If this money is spent very wisely they may make up ground on the others. It remains to be seen who makes up the squad before saying they are certain to go.
With Salford raiding their smaller clubs for their better players, the lack of quality coming from the NRL and a lot of veterans it is certainly a weakening competition and that will help all these clubs pull off more surprise wins. That will probably be crucial in staying up.

| Castleford's manager and assistant plus larger squad size should see us safe. I know we probably haven't signed any big names, but we've signed players to plug the gaps in our defense. I'm guessing we'll finish 8th and anything higher is a bonus.
I can see it being a scrap at the bottom though and it will probably make the season exciting as it draws to a close next year. The bottom could turn out to be more exciting than the top.

Like you, I can just see us having enough, not to go down. We are lucky enough to have one of the best British coaches around who can get the best from average players as well as good ones. The one thing in our favour is the fact that although we have let in too many points this season, we are playing as a team. As a Cas fan, I would just like us to sign a tough no nonsense prop, who can offload in the tackle like Sampson did. I think our squad is looking ok for next season, and I am quietly optimistic.

| I would love to know what stance Castleford Tigers have on the re-structuring of the game. I cannot remember the club ever saying what format we would prefer.
