It would be better, from our perspective, if we didn't get to the final, if Toronto are at home. The prospect of two or three trips there in five weeks or so, is absurd.

Counting never my strong point.

I think finishing 6th may be a wise option. Runs for cover.

Yep. Who actually cares about this years playoffs opposed to the M8s concept?

Derek, doesn’t it matter because of Central Funding money, or has that been scrapped this year?

There might be some financial reward for making the top 5, but I don't think it's anything like as stark as it was with the 8s format.



Suspect DB would happily trade a few league defeats in exchange for beating Widnes in the cup.

May not have thought this through correctly, but we could possibly have



Toronto last game of season

Tolouse away 2/3 playoffs win

Toronto away lose

Tolouse away win (this may be home but not sure)

Toronto away final



Think that’s how it could pan out if tolouse come 2nd, us 3rd



Crazy schedule for any part time team if true

Like reffy say's

I am wondering who pays for travelling? I'm presuming it's a gate split which may mean significant upfront costs which may not be in the budget of some clubs.



Also not clear whether these games would be played on Saturday or Sunday so as usual the fan comes last.

We've got some incredibly committed fans, but I reckon that schedule would be beyond all of them!

Any fans going through Canadian Border Security for third time in a month will probably find themselves in a serious discussion....

.... and the players no doubt! I see Fev are 'resting' a few of last week's victorious quad for their visit to Toronto this weekend.
