Saturday 30th June - Toronto v Leigh
Saturday 7th July - Toulouse v London
Sunday 8th July - Halifax v Fev
Sunday 15th July - London v Halifax
Sunday 22nd July - Fev v London/ Halifax v Toulouse <<< Big Day
Saturday 28th July - Toronto v Fev

Spot on Atomic

for what its worth my prediction is:

1. Toronto - 43 Points
2. Toulouse - 34 / 36 Points
3. Featherstone - 32 Points
3. Leigh - 32 Points
5. London - 30 Points
6. Halifax - 29 / 31 Points

Fax v Toulouse could go either way

I predict that should we make T4 we will be playing in SL 2019. The travel facing TW in the 8's will take its toll and their only hope is million pound game at home

Re: Keep Winning.. : Mon Jun 25, 2018 6:29 am  

Are all TW games away in the 8’s?

It seems a bit short notice to book away trips for potentially 4 teams.

Do you not think we will be a bit dead on our feet for the 8s - we seem a bit battered and bruised at the moment, and we can't afford to relax for any games. Even the "walkovers" we need to maximise the points difference

They will have 4 home games, and won't be allowed to play them in blocks I.e. 3 away then 4 at home as I understand it

I think we finish 3rd looking at the fixtures to come for everyone. Our score difference will be better than Fev and as you say London will be behind us on points.
I also think we have a real shot at finishing with 34 points as I believe we will win in Toronto.

Plenty of excitement to come yet.

Whoever finishes 5th & 6th pretty much have a 2 month holiday before playing each other in a pointless dead-rubber. Unfortunately this is where the 8’s system falls down massively.
How to fix it, not sure, possibly set them all back to zero, at least that way the teams at least have something to play for. Prize money decided on 50/50 from original finish position and 8’s finish position.

As long as you don't implode against one of the bottom 6 teams, you'll make the top 4 with 32 points. The five games involving Toulouse, Fev, Fax and London could all go either way. Two competition points between all of them after 18 games, and impossible to call. The top 6 all won their games this last weekend against bottom 6 opposition with ease.

All I keep thinking is that Sky really are missing out o a superb end to the season for the sake of a load of boring SL matches.
