It’s bizarre your more concerned with expansion clubs not getting into Super League, than your own club existing in 2019.

Has anyone shown any interest in taking over ownership of Leigh when Derek walks away next month?

What's bizarre is that you want to derail this thread.

As your Leigh question on a new thread and see how it goes - leave this thread for talking about the big weekend we have just had in the qualifiers.

Looks like that’ll be the case. For Leeds not really seen them winning the Salford game for a while now but the bans a couple of Salford players are likely to get especially Hastings MIGHT give Leeds a chance. If so then that’s be the top 3 pretty much settled.

TBH I wouldn't rule out Toulouse losing at Toronto next week then knocking off both Hull KR and Salford and still missing out, it seems like the kind of thing they would do.

A lot now depends on how many weeks ban Jackson Hastings gets. Salford's ability to win is drastically reduced without him.

HKRs and Halifax's injuries and the almost certain bans from the Salford game, all add a new dimension to the last games.

Agreed, I think Leeds will beat Salford with Jackson Hastings banned (and Luke Burgess). They will then beat Halifax the week after and go into the final game against Toronto with nothing to play for. If Toronto beat Leeds in that game they could still get a top 3 spot, probably at Hull kr’s expense.

That would assume we lost one more game

Could of and should have been more. TO were awful.

Broncos picked up a couple of what looked like bad injuries, finished the game with 12 on the pitch.

Broncos have 2 home games yet.

HKR next week away, they've been up and down, then the the Reds and Fax home. Its not all over yet.

Sir Kev....You've got more clubs than Rory McIlroy !

toulouse away could be tricky, shipping 24 points at home today could be costly if it comes down to points difference

Toulouse are a busted flush. They knew that London away was their "must win" game if they were to get 5th spot and they (by all accounts) didn't turn up. They have now to head to Toronto where if they lose they will now it is over for them, before hosting HKR and then travelling to the form side in the 8, Salford for the last game......I genuinely don't see them getting another point.

I think the top 5 will be as they are now with maybe Leeds and HKR switching......with London (6 points) at Toronto (icon_cool.gif for a place at the top table. You'd have to think that the MPG will ave a SL Ref, so London will stand every chance if that is the scenario....

i think you will be surprised how they play at home, may not get a result v toronto, but against SL opposition they will want to put on a good showing at home, dont rule them out just yet!

Ref today wasn't bad, just very, very inexperienced. We also didn't bother playing for first 30 mins of 2nd half.

Justin Carney injury - we've had to play without him for 6 weeks anyway.

Quinlan Injury - really bad news.

Oh well, another ugly win, but a win nontheless.

Londo seem to have serverely dented Toulouse's hope and Toronto still not beaten an SL side. You might state they'll beat Widnes, but if everyone beats Widnes it doesn't really give them an advantage over the rest does it? Toronto Leeds is now massive.

Referee was weak imo everytime the east stand got on his back he'd give a penalty. With Toronto/Toulouse adding the travelling element it makes these qualifiers even harder to predict, rrtr

I see Leeds beating Salford and Halifax so by the time they meet Toronto, they will be safe. It will be a major surprise if the bottom 3 are any different from what it is now so Toronto will be at home and they will be playing London.

If on the other hand Salford defeat Leeds, then I can see Leeds handing the Canadian mancs and absolute ass whipping at Headingly the week before the MPG.......which as a London fan would be a massive + for us.......A strong referee is needed in the MPG game.

You not been following Leeds’ performances lately? More likely scrape over the line after being close for most of the game.

Nope.

Leeds, at home and Salford missing Hastings and possibly Burgess....I can see Leeds winning it.

I agree, I having been saying about points difference being important for ages but tend to get shot down by mt fellow fans who wear the rose tinted glasses and see nothing but victory. Yesterday was a massive chance to put a big score on but we were shocking from around the 20th minute to the very end. Fax played well with some good attacking stuff while we defended like schoolboys.

I still think we have enough to win all remaining games, but London next week might be the one where we slip up if we do slip up.

Nah. Robert Lui pulls the strings for Salford.

You haven't been watching Salford much. Jackson Hastings pulls the strings. Robert Lui is one of the strings.

The same Leeds that were nilled at HT at Widnes?

? we scored the first try in the first half.

Luke Briscoe scored the first try......0-4 to leeds. 6-4 at Half time then Widnes were nilled in the 2nd half.....
