I said London were the ones to watch. Just like when I called McNamara as the next England coach before he got the job.

Well a stopped clock can be right twice in 24 hours though in your case the gaps a bit longer!

Beauty of sport, innit. Only 4 weeks ago we went to London and beat them at their place. I wouldn’t describe it as comfortable but I always felt we had some control for 60 minutes of that game, just became frantic the last 20minutes.
Since then, London have found an extra couple of gears. Really impressive. I’ve a feeling we have to mark this season down as an opportunity missed.

Be interesting to see what Toulouse do now. Been talk all year about financial issues. I know they got some investors to save them, but unsure if that was long term on the basis of being in SL.

Provisional gradings are out soon right? I think some big decisions are hinging on how teams score.

Yes I think at least one club with a WF postcode will be either pumping in money to cover losses on a full time/hybrid side next season or will be deciding not to bother based on the gradings.

Again I was right. Wankfield's new owner is funding a full time squad that, on paper, looks better than their Superleague squad last season. If they spend up to the cap they'll be spending significantly more on wages with £1million less central funding. He must be confident of them going straight back up to fund losses of that size.

Featherstone on the other hand are cutting back on the spending as they have absolutely no chance of getting into superleague.
