2015 Middle 8 Watch : Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:48 pm  

Week 1:
HKR
Catalans
Salford
Huddersfield

Early days yet, but whilst we must look to win every game we can in the Championship, it's worth keeping an eye on the performances in the bottom of the SL.

I know it's early days and things can change but....

I can't see any way in which we could beat any of those teams, or any team in Super League.

I agree but every now and then a SL club goes bust - then anything can happen!

Totally agree Gooner, but finding a level at which the club can operate and be competitve again is surely a step in the right direction.
I think London will be in this division for the foreseeable future and look forward to being joined by the likes of Keighley Cougars and Newcastle Thunder and who knows maybe another Southern Club.
There was life before Super League and there is life after it.
Just don't tell AK!

I wonder if any of the 4 teams currently in the bottom group will be there after 23 games. Possibly HKR

They were pathetic tonight. No positives at all. BJB and Caton Brown were woeful amongst others!

Just goes to show, money alone cannot buy success, and less than 5,000 there, with St Hellens 20 miles away! See leigh are predicting 8,000 for Bradford and hoping for a 10,000 sell out - would be good for the game if they did, sadly we wont get close........

It was good to see Atelea Vea going great guns for Saints in both televised games given he pretty much still plays the same style he did for us last season but with the addition of great support play that St Helens are masters at.
