London by the odd score.....Leeds have been terrible all season and if london can get quick PTB's and Mr Kendall hasn't read the RFL Memo about "keeping leeds up at all costs" then I see this as a game where the winner will avoid the MPG and go straight into SL....BUT......If it is reffed like the last Leeds game then I see Leeds winning by a country mile.

2,800 gate, 22-18 to London

I expect Leeds and HKR to finish in the top 3.......leeds losing to us

would only be a blip for them, but a massive step fr London (and UK based RL in general).....our kids are starting to come through and player development in the capital is better than at some heartland clubs.

You've probably answered this before but would you want London to be promoted?

Already getting the poor ref excuse in just in case. Classy.

I think Salford look a good bet for top 3 now. Specially as they have the 4 championship sides still to play.

Then it could be any of the rest. I fancy Leeds as they have the home games vs Toronto, Salford and Hull KR.

After that who knows. Would love London to come back up but we will see.

Being the best team out of the 8, Leeds do not need and do not get help from officials. It's all in your head.

Not under the current owner, no.

Why would I need an excuse? the 2017 SL champions v little old London....should be a hammering, but Leeds needed plenty of assistance from the man in the middle last week v Toulouse......SL couldn't afford to lose 15k fans every fortnight....

The Rfl conspiracy theory will be rolled out evertime leeds play, and get a 50/50 go there way. Its pathletic.

They Only needed plenty of assistance in your deluded anti leeds world

I'm not anti Leeds....... But your new director of rugby could and should have been employed as director of referees by the RFL...... You always get the 50/50 calls

If that were true we wouldn’t even be in the Middle 8’s. Whenever someone says “big clubs get all the decisions” all they achieve in doing is making themselves look either daft or bitter.

It’d be interesting to get the honest opinions of players who spent parts of their careers at bigger and smaller clubs.

I don’t want McGuire to speak to refs like he did at Leeds now he’s with us. To do otherwise would be daft and naive, imo. Peacock’s incredulity at Hicks awarding an iffy and crucial drop goal to Hudds a couple of years ago felt like it reflected on his previous experience with dominant teams as much as the decision itself.
Fair enough, he suffered Chris Joynt’s voluntary tackle, but that was against St Helens.

Alex Ferguson pretty much acknowledged he used his own and Manchester United’s pre-eminence to influence refs. There’s no grand conspiracy, but refs are human and humans are suggestible.

I’m sure Hull KR got their share back in the 1980s.

Every team has players who get in the refs face and speak out of turn, again it’s one of those things were to some only the likes of Leeds and Wigan players do it when it’s every team in reality.

That a reaction that Peacock had in a HKR shirt can still be blamed at Leeds’s door show the predetermined mindset when it comes to a Leeds or a Wigan when it comes to decisions/penalties/behaviour.

I agree with the first part of your post.

However, why would you, or anyone question that any players behavior at a previous club, particularly a senior pro like Peacock, shouldn't be attributable to their time at their previous club? It's more than likely why the player was offered a new role and the phrase 'old dogs new tricks' springs to mind and applies to both positive and negative traits

Leeds 28 London 6 london have had 5 penalties leeds gave had none.
Its a conspiracy.

If Leeds have conceded five penalties, I assume that means at least 5 fatalities in the London team - no wonder the Broncos are struggling!

Yep, and Leeds felt sorry for them with 5 dead players so let them score 5 unanswered try's to let them feel better.

Leeds scored eight tries, London scored seven. Close win for Leeds.

ask Widnes if they'd take a narrow win

But London were clearly much better than Widnes. How much better than London was Leeds?

If Jarrod Sammut had been kicking well it would have been Lonfon 42- Leeds 48.

And Leeds would have still won, all that really matters in this ridiculous middle 8s

and Leeds would still have won. 2 points is all that counts.
but you know that sir Kevin

And if Leeds’ had kept their foot on the gas in the last 20 mins it could’ve 60/70-10.

48-10 to Leeds after 60 mins isn’t a close game. Leeds put the cue on the rack which is disappointing from a fan POV but it was never a close game despite the score line being narrowed in the final quarter.
