Totally agree CL, but my simpler view ,is if the winds from the East,the lean to the West.

I can at least provide assurance on the last point, England will not reach the World Cup Final. As for the rest of it, I'm confident but can't guarantee we'll be in the middle eights.

England have more chance of getting to the World Cup Final than Leigh do of reaching the middle 8’s.

Have you been banned from the VT or summat??

No Col,he's tried to get some Leythers banned on the VT, and now he's rubbing his nose in on here.

What have you been up to

Finished now.

I just don’t believe Leigh will gain promotion or a top 4 spot that is all.

The Championship has been a great competition from the very start and looks like it will stay that way to the very end.

we are currently 6th in the table, have u noticed ?

That’s right, you’re 2 points behind 5th place and 3 points behind 4th place.

You’re points difference is also significantly worse than 4 of the 5 teams above you.

So.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the stage, Captain Obvious!

He is as bad as his other login trolls

Thanks for opening the discussion Cheadle Leyther.

As another ex-Grammar Bug I too have been exercising my grey matter over the endless permutations (or should that be combinations - I can never remember which!) which may arise over the last 4 weeks of the regular season.

As a starting point - and that is all it is not a definitive set of final positions - I have also had a look at the top 6 and their remaining fixtures.

For the purpose of this exercise I have assumed that the Centurions will win their remaining games. That is not to disrespect the opposition but if we don't achieve wins in all those four matches, there is little point in prolonging the discussion on here as we won't make the top 4 - simple as that.

With that proviso in mind I have also made the following assumptions in order to see what the final picture would be based on those premises:-

1. Where top 6 teams play each other, the HOME team will take the points.
2. In all other fixtures - as form teams - the top 6 team is awarded the win BUT upsets can and will happen!
3. No attempt has been made to judge the winning margin but clearly points difference will come into play in deciding the top 4.

Based on the above here is a possible scenario:-

Round Final
19 20 21 22 23 Position

1 Toronto 35 37 39 41 43 1
2 Toulouse 28 30 32 32 34 2
3 Featherstone 28 28 30 32 32 4=
4 Halifax 27 29 29 31 33 3
5 London 26 26 28 28 30 6
6 Leigh 24 26 28 30 32 4=

SHOULD the above come to pass, it would mean that we would need to improve our points difference by over 100 points to sneak past Fev and grab that final Qualifiers spot.

All assumptions of course but I offer this as a starting point for discussion.

Mind you all could be blown out of the water this coming weekend!

Where is the match on Sunday again? Oh yes the Shay!!!

If you toss a coin 10 times and get tails 9 times, what are the odds of getting tails on the last toss?

Evens

Exactly. All previous results are meanigless and only the next one matters in isolation. Different squads, different weather, different ref, previous results have no bearing whatsoever on this one although they make for nice little fun facts for the stattos.

Because obviously there is no mental aspect to the game...

Mick, I'm gutted I can't be at the Shay on Sunday, it should be corker, very close,and a very important game, good luck to both teams, I tip Fev win , just.
