2 could easily be enough if one of those is against Wakefield. While I'm no great fan of London, I'd like them to stay up to prove that currently there isn't a great deal between the top of the Championship and bottom of SL. To put the icing on the cake would be for Wakefield or HKR to go down (just to see how far either Carter or Hudgell threw their teddies) and to put the cherry on top, TWP not to win the GF (I'd have said not even make it but I guess I'd be getting a bit greedy).

We already went down once. Didn't throw our toys out of the pram. The club stuck together and got back up.

Well said, only side to be recently relegated and not go bust/get points deducted

Think we will be ok either way but thanks for your support

HKR v Wakey's a massive game this weekend. Almost a must win for Wakey, given their remaining fixtures. They must really be targeting this one, they can do nothing else. Same for London in theirs.

Except that's not true. I'll leave you to figure out why but I guess someone will point you the way before you do.

You would think so, wouldn't you?!

I'll put money on Chester treating it as just another game. The sheer desperation of the current situation will only hit him during the half time team talk in the final game against London, when we need to come back from 20 points down to avoid relegation. He's sleepwalking us into the Championship at the moment.

You alluded to the fact us and wakey would do a dummy spit, I cannot speak for wakey but we did go down and as a supporter of the club found it ok tbh, I preferred us to play in a division I thought we would be competitive in and that exceeded my expectations, I hope we get relegated this year and if you check my posts you will find I posted that on my own forum a few weeks ago, call me old fashioned but I enjoy my Sunday afternoon rugby on the m62 corridor at grass roots grounds, but I am sure mr Hudgell with all his investment and multi million pound mortgage on a new north stand and other various ground investments at the expense of playing personnel to qualify for a grading system under the franchising system of a few years ago will fear relegation more, so if he has a public moan ,I for one could reasonably understand.

Bump.


Glad I'm not a betting man, I didn't think London would get anything at Catalans & I certainly didn't see the Wakey result coming!

I haven't got a clue how it will all pan out, but there are five clubs supporters feeling decidedly twitchy, I've included Leeds back in the mix, more out of hope than expectation, but if they lose next week they'll have to put their wind-down on hold.

London hold the key to this enthralling conundrum, however, Huddersfield are really skating on thin ice.

We’re down don’t think we can get another win

Not looking good atm and like i have posted elsewhere i think London will get another win.

Where my old friend Ponner from hudds gone what userame is he doing atm

that huddersfield team today has relegation written all over it

Have they got a new shirt sponsor?

Ponner hasn't posted since before bigal stopped posting.

If Huddersfield play like they did today for their remaining games they are gone. Negative game plan from minute one also, terrible. We weren’t brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, but we could still be playing till next Sunday and Hudds wouldn’t score. Can’t see where a wins coming from them from what I’ve just watched.

And I thought Catalans were terrible on Sat. We were atrocious today.

Last 15 minutes we completely imploded.

2 of their last 3 games they have been nilled.

Is that the last round Huddersfield v Catalan.

Huddersfield at home


Tomkins n Mcllurm should be back

From a Wakey perspective, it's all about the games in the next round, as if Catalans beat Hull KR and Leeds beat London, Wakey can't be caught by the loser of the Rovers and London game.

The biggest worry for Rovers and Hudds might be that Wakey should have nothing to play for on the last day, when we play London.

I said a few weeks ago that the last game between Wakefield and London may have an impact on another club, depending on who needs the points, and who's already safe.

Three club still on 18 points. I maintain my thought that 20 points isn't enough this season. You need 22 to be safe.

woa woa woa, we owe London big time
when we end this shocking season, its not gonna be on another loss to London
now get with the program doomster

I'm not sure that's right because of your fixture with London. Mathematically, you're right, but form and points difference would suggest otherwise. For Wakey to go down, you and London would both have to win two out of the last three and Huddersfield one but improve the points difference.

Mathematically, if you and London win the next game, a team might need 24 to be safe (I think), but Huddersfield have a very tough run in. It's easy to wonder whether Tony Smith had the right idea in treating your game with them as just another game. Huddersfield treated it like a cup final, but their form since is what a cup-winning side normally goes through after Wembley.

Points difference will be huge. At the moment it’s:
Leeds -34
Wakefield -109
Huddersfield -175
Hull KR -233
London -251

It may still come down to points difference but, either London or KR will pick up points when the 2 clubs meet on the 8th September, potentially making that club safe.
However, it's equally possible that this will go to the last weekend of the season, with all 4 clubs needing to win to avoid the drop and still just about possible that Leeds could be dragged back into the dogfight.

Certainly KR v London is massive.

Something else which may well come into play is, the performance of those clubs that are safe and any squad rotation going on in the clubs who are in the play offs, who will be concentrating on having their best 17 ready for the play off games, rather than necessarily going all out to win on the last day of the regular season.

Twists and turns aplenty still to come and this is all without the contrived nonsense of the 3 x 8 structure
