Not sure about the play-off teams. I've rarely seen the "resting players" bit work when it comes to the crucial game afterwards. Look at KR this weekend after resting key players. I think you've got to keep momentum.

The biggest risk for KR (if they lose the London game) or Huddersfield is if Wakey are safe by then, as they will literally have nothing to play for other than pride, and there is no doubt that London can get themselves up for a game.

What helps Wakey is that both Catalan and Leeds need to win their next game, which might narrow the relegation scrap even further to just three teams.

Anyone know the latest relegation odds??



Not being smug but interested to know how some teams are motivated and on the up whilst others are plummeting

Very interesting scenario...especially seeing Hull KR drop back into the mire. However, rumours are rife that Toronto will not be in a position to come up if they finish first.

I hope you're wrong, Super league needs Toronto. After all,expansion needs to be proved a good or a bad idea. I also wish all the teams in the relegation battle, the best of luck.

Makes you wonder about that Million Pound Game last season...

Although I'd be happy for Toulouse, York or Leigh to make it into SL (instead of Toronto), IF Toronto were to have serious financial issues or actually fold, this would bring yet more negative press for the game.

It would be interesting to know where we are up to with the next Sky deal and whether they actually want Toronto in the top flight for viewing figures / advertising revenue etc.

Well said Cokey, It's good to have a bit of perspective on the game, oh and if they don't make it, it would be nice to see Leigh back in it.

Between London and Robins now after the weekends results

Huddersfield or Leeds I think

Whilst we're (Leeds) not by any means out of it, our points difference is like an extra point, Leeds could still lose all the remaining games and to go down it would mean every team below them on 18 points to get 2 wins from 3 plus Wakey to get one. That's not impossible of course but I'd say unlikely however I am by no means thinking we're safe.

The relegation issue really rests in London's hands.
IF they were to get on a roll, it is possible that they could win their last 3 fixtures, Leeds, KR and Wakefield and we could end up with one hell of a scramble from the other sides.
I certainly fancy them to pick up at least one more win, possibly two and it just depends which side(s) they beat.
KR's points difference is now very much against them (unless they beat London) and if they can pick up a win then, Huddersfield will be very, very, nervous and probably hoping that Catalan come over in holiday mode for their last game.
I cant see them getting anything against Hull or Saints and those two games could also make a mess of their points difference.

As the thread title suggests, this is THE most interesting relegation battle of the SL era

What are the rumours? Not heard any.

INOUTHull KR v London will be good news for one team. The other could be hoping Shuddersfield continue their run of form




Unless neither HKR or London can get a golden point and both come away with a point.

I thought our protracted finale of relegation a couple of years ago was bizarre, what with dubious drop goals and video ref disallowed tries against hudds in the penultimate game then followed up by losing a home mpg with an 8pt lead with 2 mins to go will never be superseded but knowing rovers we will go down with us and London on 20pts each with London -241 and us -242 , you will then look back at Craig halls short kick offs against wakey that probably led to us dropping 4pts on Sunday.

Bloody hope not I can not stand it any more the last 4 or 5 yrs have been terrible and I have been watching them for over 55 years I have seen the bad and the good but this seems to go on forever

Huddersfield will definitely lose their next 2 fixtures and maybe it would be worth London and KR settling for a draw


Mind you, expecting Catalan to do a job against Huddersfield on the last day might be a mistake. They could win by 30 or lose by 50 and right now, even an out of sorts Huddersfield will fancy beating them, although, assuming that they get battered in their next 2 fixtures, the may still struggle.

london still faves to be relegated with the bookies... just about! 11/8

giants 9/4
kr 5/2
wildcats 8/1

Those odds mean very little, relegation will be settled on the pitch and not at Ladbrokes (other bookmakers are available)

Yes, those odds are just the opinion of someone else, means very little really as so much can still happen down to pressure etc...

I contacted Betfred yesterday morning to enquire about this market...the bookies who sponsor the competition and they told me there’s only 3 rounds left and 5 teams who can still mathematically go down so they’re not offering any odds...strange move I thought?

It’s worth remembering for any team that the year Wakey looked certainties to go down before John Kear took over they were as short as 1/12 to go down yet survived!

Still all to play for...

If the rumours are rife, then perhaps be so kind to provide a link (or several)? I've always been an advocate of promotion/relegation being sorted out on the pitch, and if TWP do win the final playoff game then they deserve a place in SL. If there are insurmountable issues regarding them taking a place (which I doubt!), then it probably signals an abrupt end for the North American/Canadian experiment. Tbh, with the money they can throw around, TWP aren't good for the Championship, and it will be a better competition (imo) without them.

Glad to see Trinity are no longer in danger, don't know who the Wildcats are though

is daddy cool the mascot not a wildcat?

Sorry to dissapoint you but it's a man dressed up.

That mascot suit is not old enough to be decommissioned.


If Brian Potter could have be trusted, we would have updated the Wildcats Tunnel.
