Wont matter to us, we will be in SL next season.

Sierra Leone's a pretty unstable place. I hope we stay in Halifax instead.

What happens if Toulouse and Widnes finish in the bottom two? Do the next two teams above them get relegated? Are they re-organising the league at the end of the season?

It's a pulling-straws-off. Which will be televised live at at the HT of the final game of the season.

Nar Matt don't worry fella, I'm sure LR isn't worried. we have a cunning plan here. Just in case we dont get in SL, Toulose finish bottom, then Widnes, then us, we will escape relegation by banking on another club going bust and having to move down the Leagues as a result.

We are banking on a thing called past presidence to save us.

Anyway must dash, my kettle and frying pan are falling out in the kitchen

I wouldn't say we banked on Gateshead going bust as we were more than prepared to have a season in C1, but you've got to take your chances, haven't you? Let's not forget that 'Fax would have been relegated had the same system been in place in 2004.

I've heard what Matt Calland has said post match, Michael Steele isn't seemingly worried either, perhaps they have a point, perhaps it only matters that you do the business at the end of the season, for this reason I shall now only be bothered to spend any money or support Halifax RLFC at the end of the season, I won't bother to travel to away games, I wont try and encourage friends to come down, I'll just look for the odd free ticket at the end of the season or watch a final should we make it to one.
I'll pay golf or see my family, because clearly they matter, whereas what Halifax RLFC do doesn't matter to the coach and board week in week out.

Good - see you back on here in September.

Bye

Can't see it being Widnes but I can see the bottom two being York and Toulouse.
Now why should they NOT relegate Toulouse?
They got into this league by default anyway really.
