All I can say for Sheffield is that they must not let RFL talk them into administration as a way out of their problems or a method of switching owner (similar as they did with us). This would leave them with a relegation and I'm sure the RFL are looking for another promotion spot after Toulouse blew it.

Toulouse still have another shot, so they'll probably still come up.

I really hope Sheffield can manage to stay afloat, and stay full time next season. Also hope Toulouse can manage to get promoted also.



The more full time sides we have in the Championship the stronger the comp and game will be on the whole.

Sorry it was nothing to do with RFL, HMRC were going to wind the club up, Green put it into administration to prevent that

Sheffield won't be full time next season. The "prospective buyer" that they're in advanced talks with has already said he's taking them back part time. If that fell through, they'll either go bust or just manage on a small part time budget. Full Time is pretty much out of the question entirely.

I'm talking about the dispute that arose when Khan was selling the club.

Didn't realise that. How does P&R work at that level. It might be useful to know for next season.

Top 2 teams after Super 8s have a one off game for Promotion. That was Rochdale beating Toulouse this past weekend, so Rochdale go up.

Losing team drops into a 4-way playoff with 3rd, 4th and 5th place. So Toulouse drop in to play 5th (York) this weekend, with the winner of that playing the winner of 3rd (Barrow) vs. 4th (Doncaster). The final is the following week, the winner of which also gets promoted.



So in effect, if Toulouse win home games against York and then either Barrow or Doncaster, they'll still go up.

That's a shame. As I said the more FT sides we have the better.

Thanks for the kind words but I struggle to see how we can stay up, all players are free to speak to other other clubs and a number have been snapped up, I struggle to see us being anyway near competitive if we somehow managed to stay in the Championship.

We have been in this situation recently too, its not fun. Keep the faith mate.

Thanks for the clarification.

I personally would have preferred the old top 5 playoffs that were in SL.
