Top 5 scenario : Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:13 am
Now Toulouse are returning back to the pack, and after 2 great wins over Fax and Bradford, we could find ourselves level on 24 points with 3 other teams in the coveted 2nd to 5th spots on Sunday assuming Toronto beat Toulouse. The race for a top 5 position is definitely on!! But which position is the best for Leigh to get to the final? The play-offs this year are totally different to what has gone before and are as follows:-W/e 15 Sep 2nd v 3rd (1), and 4th v 5th (2).
W/e 22 Sep 1st v winner (1), and loser (1) v winner (2)
W/e 29 Sep loser first match above v winner 2nd match above
W/e 6 Oct Final winner 1st match22 Sep v winnerSep 29 match
I think we can all assume Toronto will finish top,but what is the best position to finish after that? At first glance I out might think second as there is the possibility of getting straight to the final after just 2 matches. However, the problem with that is having to win at Toronto in the 2nd weekend, but then having to go back there again in n t o weeks time as they get another chance to reach the the final in week 3. Not only that, but we also play at Toronto on Sep 7 in Toronto the last league match of the season. This could mean therefore travelling to Toronto 3 times in 5 weeks!!! So I would think the best outcok would be to finish 3rd or 4th. Anybody agree?7
