Not long until the placings are sorted and the fixture dates released.
Who from the Championship will take the 3 remaining places.

Perm 5 teams fighting for the final three places in the Qualifiers
Toulouse Olympique, London Broncos and Halifax are all on 31 points,
Featherstone Rovers and Leigh on 30

Hopefully Halifax will make it past Rochdale. It will be nice to visit The Shay again. Thrum Hall RIP, Leeds, Red Carling Black Label shirt etc

Championship should finish as is, and therefore in effect the teams are already sorted.

Will Wolfpack be playing home and away, or will the RFL change it to All Home, All Away to aid travel ? Anyone know yet ?

Re: 2018 | Middle 8s : Tue Jul 24, 2018 11:18 am  

Never mind helping the Wolfpack, if they play all their away games first followed by all their home games, it may give time for some of the farcically run clubs to sort visas for their players.

If the powers that be let Toronto play the games other than a home and away alternate weeks like every other clubs and you do not object ,you all get what you deserve.

They have already been told they will get no dispensation when it comes to fixtures.

In 2016 the fixtures gave the top Championship club, 2 home games, followed by 2 away games.

Lets see how it plays out for 2018 !

We may need all the time we can get. We certainly tick all the boxes of a farcically run club this season.

Yes, a Prop retires by in March and what do we do. !!!!!!!!!! Wait 4 months, drop down the league then decide to sack a Manager ! - We have 7 games, needing 5 wins to avoid the Mil£ game.

Re: 2018 | Middle 8s : Tue Jul 24, 2018 6:06 pm  

Whoever wins only 3 or 4 games will meet in the £m game. That's what happened in 2015, 2016 & 2017.
