London because they’ll probably lose tonight.

But I’d take either Hull KR (Hudgell) or Wakefield (Carter) over them every day of the week.

Imagine how funny it would be to see them ending up on the receiving end of that vote they bullied championship clubs into taking.

London staying up (with essentially the same squad that didn't set the Championship alight last year would show there's little to choose between the top of the Champ and bottom of SL) and one of those 2 going down (not sure which chairman would spit his dummy the furthest) would be ideal.

Wakefield must be feeling pretty confident because we’ve not had much of the old “it’s our livelihoods at stake” (like that doesn’t apply to anyone else).

That's likely down to the squad being put under a social media blackout

A game too far for the Broncos. Last nights relegation shouldn’t take away from what they’ve achieved this year. I like many others didn’t predict how well they would play with a predominantly Championship standard squad.

I’m looking forward to our trip to Ealing next season!

I reckon you almigjtt scare London gave SL, and with Toronto very likely going up, we'll see no relegation and a 14 team SL for 2021.

Can't see it. There won't be many SL chairmen willing to give up some of their precious central funding allocation, especially for teams with such poor away support like London and Toronto.

Toronto aren't even guaranteed a place yet anyway because apparently their due diligence makes even Chalmers look competent :D

Your right but with Catalans, Toulouse and Toronto in there the funding is only divided between 11 clubs like now

I think you are right. That's the last relegation we will see in a long time. To many snouts risked loosing the trough.

Thing is though, it doesn't actually matter a jot if they've got a mega rich backer to pick up the tab. How many current SL clubs are viable just on their actual business income ? I don't know the answer but I'd suggest very few.
