What’s does the battle for 2nd place in the league look like?
What do each Leicester and Bristol have to do on Sunday to clinch it?
Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, Newcastle will need to win by 9 or more to get a playoff place.

Think the Riders have second sealed. Whilst all the attention is in Plymouth, Phoenix and Sharks as far as I know are still fighting over 5/6th.

Only game I'm focused on is Eagles vs Patriots which for the 2nd consecutive year is another play in game between the 2 teams.
I think between the 2 teams at the moment I would favour us but in a one off game I would say anything could happen.
The most ironic thing would be for us to win the game but not by 10 points.
Although I wonder what would happen if we somehow won by 9 points?
Would it go to points conceeded then?

Now I just need to know if the playoffs are one game or two legs? I know a few people have been saying it's still 2 leg and some people said it has been confirmed as one. My guess from the way the our last home game was against Caledonia that the playoffs could be one game since they were thanking fans for all their support this season. Anyone have any official confirmation on this or have I missed something? |

Fair to deduce they are still 2 legged quarter finals - Sheffield are not in the top 4 so dont have home advantage, however they are already selling tickets for their home game in the playoffs. conclusion - must be 2 leg first round playoff games |

Below is from the BBL site, so have got to assume 2 legs.
Apr. 28-30: BBL Play-offs Quarter Finals
May 5-7: BBL Play-offs Semi-Finals

Big day today, Toon up first then what should be a winnable game v Plymouth. With this Eagles team you never know though. Win and I have one more home game. Two trouncings a very real possibility but I'm sure I'm not the only one who remembers Billy Mims Riders. Qualified eighth then went on to win the Play-offs.
It's the hope that gets you. 😂
Best of luck to all teams today. 👍

Newcastle just need to win by 9 points or more to tie the H2H and still go through on points difference. |

And even if that does happen I cannot see the teams in the semi finals and finals being push overs either. I think I would be happy if we finish 8th as it would atleast show some small sign of progress. And I would have evidence to 100% be able to say that this Eagles team was certainly better then last year's squad as well. |

Great intensity from Eagles in Q1 so far, hopefully inspired by the Toon this afternoon and the Billy Mimms record.....

French stretchered off after going down hard on his knee. Even if Eagles do win what miniscule chance we may have had against London is now zero.

Flyers gave Sharks an absolute lesson so probably happier to be facing Riders over 2 legs, even though Leicester are arguably hottest team in the league right now.
Bristol were far superior at every position
