Quote ="JEAN CAPDOUZE"It is starting to look increasingly unlikely that Leeds, Hull KR and Toronto are the top 3, with Toulouse and London in the MPG. That would have been the ideal outcome of the Middle 8s from a rugby league development point of view. Unfortunately Salford's purchase of Jackson Hastings has improved Salford immeasurably and this tiny club with its 3,000 home fans will likely be back in Super League next year.
Meanwhile three worthy Super League contenders Toulouse, London, and Bradford may be in the Championship competing for one promotion spot in 2019, with =#FF0000<REMOVED - Not necessary> Featherstone also in the mix.'"
Presumably, Widnes would be in the mix as well, assuming they don't go bust.
