Not a chance......they are a team of individuals who when faced with an organised professional side fell apart......once they get "home" to Toronto they will lose 5 of 6 players to the bright lights and legal hookers..........London are the #1 side in the 2nd tier....the scoreboard never lies and Toronto are 29-16 side....London are 45-13.....Toulouse and Toronto have both shat their pants when faced with a strong side......

Toronto had some disruption to the start the season, losing 3 Super League quality forwards, for disciplinary reasons.

While this has made their start to the season slower than expected (although they are still only 1 point behind the league leaders) it will pay dividends in the long run, as a maker has been set, that only the highest professional standards will be acceptable at the club.

Only a fool would bet against Toronto finishing top, and they will have no problem dispatching Super League opposition, as we are likley to see in the Challenge Cup.

Yeah, they'd be certain top 8 if they were in SL

and will have no problem dispatching any SL team in the Cup.

think you'll find it was more about hookers and the salary cap..........ad the hookers didn't have a "9" on their backs.....

Can you imagine the face of the Hudds fans? As i imagine if that was to happen, one of those teams would be replacing the Giants..

Toulouse 16 Fax 6 half time

26-6 now, looks like TO are going top.

Toulouse 38 Halifax 6 is the final score.

What a win for Toulouse! What a win for French rugby league!

And your beloved Catalan Dragons Jean?

Catalan are going to finish in the bottom 4 so rounds 1-23 are now meaningless. A ridiculous system, but that’s what we have.

What are your thoughts on Toulouse’s demolition of Halifax, a club that finished in the top 4 in 2017. Do you now accept Toulouse are promotion contenders?

You mean they were wearing squad numbers?

Lovable London have just thrashed swindling Swinton 64-18. This reinforces the view that we need London AND Toulouse in Super League.

It's a ridiculous system because Catalans are dogpoop. Yeah that makes sense fake Frenchie.

Sinfield is an English name. Were you not aware of that?

After 7 games, Toulouse have accumulated 12 competition points and have a 164 point difference...... we are nearly 1/3 of the way through the competition and I would say that on current form, Toulouse will make the Qualifiers.

Alas, we have no real way of assessing how London, Toronto, Toulouse of Featherstone Rovers will go when competing against Salford, Catalans, HKR and one from Huddersfield/Widnes, but for those that didn't like the "predictability of licencing", it must be quite worrying that we probably know the line up's for the Super 8's and Qualifiers in March, 4 months and 16 fixtures away from when those competitions start......there will be a few transfers announced with clubs spending to stay up......it's just like 1999 all over again.
Speaking of predictability, we also know which 2 clubs will battle relegation from the 2nd tier and at the bottom of the third tier, the last 5 teams are all expansion clubs......

On what grounds have they been swindling??? Thats a serious allegation

I don't get what you mean by Catalans finnishing in the bottom 4, makes the regular season meaningless? They'll Finnish in the bottom 4 (like last year) or not. Because they deserve to be there after 23rds. Or do you think they should just be relegated if they Finnish bottom?

And I take it that you think the top 4 play off is alright?

As for the question. Depends on who the bottom 4 in SL are, and who they get at home or away? It's possible but doubtful.

And as a report for yesterday. You could put, the full time team who had 2 weeks off due to not being in the CC, beat the part time team who played on Monday night.

I think it’s ridiculous that come round 24, the 9th placed SL club will be in exactly the same possible as the 12th placed club, the number of points accumulated in rounds 1-23 will be worthless.

Personally I don’t think we should have relegation, as is the case in the NRL and in nearly all American/Australian sports, which are very successful. If we are going to insist on having relegation, yes it should be the team that finishes in last place.

Don't they(the higher team) get an extra home game out of the 7 played?

Whilst I believe that we should have relegation (and we're never going to agree on that).
I do think that your right, and that it's the bottom placed team that goes down. For the same reason I don't like the GF, or top 4 play offs. After 23 rd's, you replace the league with what is basically a cup competition. Rendering what has happened before meaningless other than the way the fixtures fall.

The problem we have regards Australian/American sports, is that they have such an infrastructure below the professional aspect, that it's all geared for success. We don't. They are also very good at selling there sports, we aren't. They also make attending a game an event, we can't be bothered. Plus the amount of coverage in the media etc.
And funny enough there both very insular countries. That would take years (if at all), to possibly think of allowing another country to join, looking at every aspect to see that it's successful. We don't.

Do you think that is enough of a reward for finishing 9th not last? System is flawed in my opinion.
