London 4/11
Huddersfield 11/2
Salford 12/1
Hull Kr 16/1

Whats going on at your place?

odds now??????

..and now? London have now won three games, and will doubtless win a few more at home. Hull KR look to have a few wins in them, Leeds and Wigan will surely have purple patches at some point. I would say our halves are the worst in the league, and if we keep getting injuries in the forwards we are currently favourites for the drop.

We’ve seen this before with a newly promoted team- remember how well Leigh were doing?
London I think will run out of steam. A couple of unlucky injuries to key players and the likes of KR and Salford will struggle. Nothing set in stone yet.

I agree with that, but London have the advantage of geography that Leigh didn't. Let's say very conservatively they win another 2 games all season, thats 5 wins, are we good enough to get another 5 wins this year? I'm really not sure. The next two games are already massively important and if we lose both i think we are gone.

get your money on then

I think we are in a better situation than Wigan at the moment. We are poor just now but we've got first choice players to come back (7/8 of them) whereas Wigan are playing almost at full strength. Thursday nights result was disappointing but again we were in the game untill we ran out of subs so get our senior players back and we should improve. I agree that if we don't get results in the next 2 games then it'll be tough going when our seniors come back due to pressure.

Wigan will not go down. It won’t be allowed

I'm not a gambling man, just making an assertion that already at this point in the season we are in trouble with the team we have and the fact there are no easy wins anywhere. I don't think getting rid of Woolford is the answer either, he seems a better coach than any since Brown from what i am hearing and seeing. We need to be taking winnable games extremely seriously and should not be accepting lack of effort or commitment in any of them.

I think Shudds have something about them, its not going well atm but they at least look like they could put a few wins together.
Right now, its Leeds that look like they have nothing, obviously neither of them seem likely to be making mid table but its a bit early for both teams to be talking relegation.
Game 10 is the kick up the arris point, if neither have done anything by then, you have to start thinking about basement dog fights.

We’ve already had a fair few injuries and are winning, Salford I’d agree with as their squad is very short past the first 17. I’d make hudds favourites for the drop atm, you gotta hope London don’t do an us in 2007 and you do a Salford. Would Ken Davey stick around if you went down? It’d be a major concern of mine if I was a Hudds fan as you could quite easily do a Widnes if Ken throws in the towel.

two of the relegation rivals coming up

hull kr and london

we shall see where we are at after these two games

another interrupted pre season from us with thorman and mark andrews both going and injuries on top of that, disaster

Said Exactly the same today, can see Hudds going down and Ken saying enough is enough. Lets not forget he publicly made it clear a few years ago in the press he didnt think Huddersfield will ever get the fan base to become self sufficient.

Would the RFL let clubs like Hudds, Leeds and Wigan get relegated for the likes of Toronto? I doubt it.

They didnt do anything in 2001. I can see dodgy shifts in rules with Leeds and Wigan...But Huddersfield Nah.

Nonsense

Of course they would. Bradford who were previously part of the “big 4” were relegated twice into League One.

It present circumstances you'd have to agree but we weren't far off averaging nearly 10k when N Brown was with us. Some sustained success would get us around 9-10k I'd say, very comparable to say St Helens. You could argue St Helens are never going to get much more than they do, so perhaps do a lot more in the corporate area, which Huddersfield could too in similar circumstances.

In the SL era we've been very up and down, that makes it hard to build crowds I'm afraid. And as a result in terms of 'successful periods' theres a large age gap in fans, which I think a lot of teams suffer from, this is fixable I believe but not overnight. Especially when its sport wide too.

I see SL looking at lots of other sports and leagues which to model and pinch things from but l think its going to have to create something new.

Not sure where you’ve got those numbers from- but we were a long way off 10k when brown was here! Less than 8000 the year we topped the table.

Might have ogt the season(s) wrong, maybe towards beginning of Browns era but I'm pretty sure around that time re was talk of not being far off 10k average, maybe I'm remembering the hype and not the facts...

Shouldn't you be more worried about Leeds rubbish start to the season rather than trolling the Hudds forum?

It’s not trolling. Both Leeds and Huddersfield look like they could be in the relegation dog fight.

Your next two games against relegation candidates, Hull kr and London are massive, with both those clubs already on 6 points. On another board it was mentioned 16 points is normally enough to be safe, a win for Hull kr or London would mean they are half way there.

I can’t see us winning either of our next two (Catalans away or Cas at home). We then play Hull kr, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Hull kr again, Salford. This will make or break our season, all of those games are winnable (I don’t think we will win them all) but 3 or 4 out of 5 should mean we have a good chance to be safe. 0, 1 or 2 out of those 5 and I think it is likley we will go down.

Unlike you not to be trolling to be fair.
Catalans away must be a dilemma for you, which team do you want to win?

Wakefield (A) is winnable when you were stuffed by Trinity at Headingley?

Leeds

Two crucial games and two crucial wins. As long as we keep winning games when we have a fair chance to do so and spring the odd suprise we will be ok. The league looks like being really close this year, London are now gradually sinking down to where they were predicted to be, but will win a few more at home especially i'm sure. All to play for!

2 points seperate the bottom 5 teams, 4 points seperate the bottom 9 teams. With the exception of St Helens and Warrington, who seem a country mile ahead of everyone else, it seems nearly every club is still in contention for a play off spot or a relegation battle.
