Chances of promotion : Thu Mar 31, 2016 9:36 am  

Just throwing a straw into the wind ...

At the moment zilch as our weakest area is the most important.

IF we get a decent scrum half and full back, then we've got a chance as when everyone's fit, we have a good forward pack and decent back line. But when you've got Addy and Mathers as you're creative pivots, you might as well go home.

To be clear the question is about ANY Championship team going up - not restricted to the Bulls

Re: Chances of promotion : Thu Mar 31, 2016 9:53 am  

When are we putting money on. Before the M8s? Now?

The Bulls get a fiver at any price every year to win whichever league they're in. A quid at 2/1 is just for fun levels and I would and do do it for the Bulls.

Strangely, my standards are higher if we're betting on any club, doesn't matter which one, to get promoted by any route. It wouldn't be 100 to 1 though. Or 50.

20/1 it is.

It's a quid. Risk v reward with no risk involved.

I'd have a quid on Leigh going up at 20/1. In fact I'd have more than a quid on it at that. But I wouldn't waste my money on any other clubs in the Championship. Certainly not as things stand right now.

Yeah I'd go with 20/1 on Leigh if they can sort their defence out before the middle 8s.

20/1 on Leigh if they can play for more than 65mins.

Us - no chance at all as things stand.

Re: Chances of promotion : Thu Mar 31, 2016 12:49 pm  

Wonder what the odds of us up and Leeds down are....?

Don't think the chances are very high, but then this system wasn't actually set up to allow promotion, just give the impression of it being a possibility. The outside chance remains really only on the remote possibility of the SL club in the MPG, 'imploding', and maybe having a couple of men sent off - you never know, of course..

Re: Chances of promotion : Thu Mar 31, 2016 2:03 pm  

I don't get this theory the the MPG is un-winnable as a championship side.

With 2 "fairly" matched sides surely the underdog has a chance in a game of 80 mins?
