With Warrington beating Catalan and opening a 4 point gap between us and themselves it now looks like a straight shootout between Wakefield and Toulouse for the drop.

In my estimation Points Difference is going to determine whether we get relegated or not.
We’ve got 40 points to make up as it is which is why I’ve placed Toulouse above us

Nice to see you have given them a vote of confidence LOL

I’ve been charitable and given them a win
How do you see it?

Youve missed off Shudds away which we'll win....

I'm not sure I see TO winning another game, even at home.

Their opposition just have too much at stake and too much quality.

We can only hope that Saints do a Saints in one of the games and put out their scholarship team. I still think we'd struggle.

Tbh, the only wad we'd beat Saints is if they decided to either...

a) Stay on the bus, or
b) Go and have a look round trinity walk,,,,

Toulouse will win 3 more matches, I cant see us winning any. We are a busted flush, we are conceding 30 + points a match, we have zero leadership on the field, players are not playing for the coach, there is zero discipline and zero understanding of the game and match management. The players don`t give a toss most will get some sort of a gig next season, several already have a new club lined up. The man you feel sorry for is Willie who inherited the team and it seems to me that he is a really decent chap, despite that the players are not putting a shift for him. That said Willie has made mistakes, this Sat playing Croft and not Batch in the centre, not playing Bowden, poor management of the subs.There is only one option remaining and that is to sack the coach and his assistant and get someone new in, it needs to be someone who is tough on discipline who will give our work shy lot the rounds of the kitchen. Remember no paracute payment for the relegated team next season so those saying we cant afford to change the coach need to remember that we cant afford not to ; last throw of the dice. we get relegated then we go back to part time and no staff

Toulouse have beaten a weakened Sts side, Hull KR and us twice.
It's not like they are veating all comers so it isn't as certain as some think that they'll win all their home games left.
Ultimately, as Willie has said, it's in our control. We need to win as many games as they do and preferably not get hammered when we don't.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but.......like i posted the other day on here, look back to when he was given the job, those 5 wins had the likes of Senior, Josh & Kyle Wood, Green, Arundel all in the team, i couldn't find anyone, myself included who wanted those players to stay, all Chesters' signings, but Poching got more out of them?! I haven't got an answer as to why we are in the position we are in, apart from simply the players who have replaced the ones' i've mentioned aren't as good, or as committed as those ones' we all wanted out were, when Willie was given the job.

Toulouse who had about 6 weeks to put a side together after winning promotion?! Who then signed an under-rated full-back, and a State of Origin stand-off who have completely transformed them?! We sign an unfit, out of condition prop. You need to give them a bit more credit i think, even though that's detracting from our own woefulness for whatever reason this season.

Shame you’re not playing us (wire) again for a banker! Lol.

We have played tolouse three times and they have won 2 to 1.
Here we are again praying for someone to be worse than us and quite honestly its becomming tedious.
Dont be fooled in thinking all our troubles will be over with a new stand, they wont be. Because without a decent team crowds will drop. A winning team on the pitch is 90 % of the reasons crowds increase.

We have been lucky in that having been SL for a long time have always had the edge over the promoted team but eventually we will get caught out and this season is looking like our luck could finally run out.

The bottom line is that our bod may be good and work hard but they dont have the resources of the rest of SL . Top flight rugby is a rich mans game and you need to be in that financial league to compete.

Will the game miss us if we get relegated, well not on my opinion. I can think of four championship clubs given a crack at SL for a couple of seasons that would be more resourced than us.

Really difficult, and that's why this sits so uncomfortably. I can genuinely see us beating Hull FC at their place, and HKR at Belle Vue. I can also genuinely see Toulouse not winning any of their fixtures....

Unfortunately, I can also see Wakey not winning any more (that's not a dig, but a reflection that they are ALL tough fixtures remaining) and I can also see Toulouse beating Salford and Hull FC in France, as Avenger has predicted......

Two totally different outcomes, both completely feasible, but perhaps the crystal ball will be a little clearer in three weeks time, when Toulouse have had their three home games on the bounce.....

I'm going to go the middle way, cross my fingers and say:

11th Wakefield 12pts
12th Toulouse 10pts

I think both teams will pick up a couple of wins each and we'll stay up by the skin of our teeth again. Likely just delaying the inevitable for one more year though.

Oh don't worry. I think they've done an outstanding job and if it was anyone else but us I'd want them to stay up.
They are no mugs but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion they will win all their home games.
If they do then they probably deserve to day up.

This weekend will give us a good idea on our chance because Hull KR is a game we could win and Toulouse against a resurgent Leeds they could lose. If we lose and they win with home advantage I think our survival chances are virtually nil.
The team have had several chances to put this situation to bed with two games against Toulouse and one against a weakened Huddersfield team unfortunately we lost all of them.

The club are about to become better resourced with the new developments. The whole club and players need to be fighting hard to ensure the clubs survival so it can go on to thrive in the coming years. Honestly I can’t imagine one of those players wants relegation tag round their necks.

There are 18 points left on offer and we need to go out there to try and get them all.

The most important thing though to sort is the defence and discipline. We can not keep collapsing in games for 20 minutes and more even when facing adversity.

Saints to play second string against Toulouse esp if top of table is guaranteed by then.

Spot on

The clubs had plenty of time to ensure they are not in this position. Trinity have made some bloody awful signing resulting in wasting money, they allowed Chester to make signings, then dismissed him.
Cheap ends up costing you Mr Carter and tbh you have let yourself, players coachesthe club and supporters down.
I think the days of depending on the 100% loyalty of the fans have finished, holding your hand out at season ticket time will be a little difficult.
Please adapt and change,

Perhaps a new coach together with the usual "new coach syndrome" might just give us the three or four wins that would more or less guarantee safety.

I regret that after Saturday the game against Hull KR is very much our million pound game because we could by the end of this week be bottom with the negativity that brings. We must win and hope Leeds continue their resurgence. We have the harder run in and little benefit with home advantage despite the current weather conditions.
It is currently ours to lose so cut out the performance matters, it’s the result nothing else. I would ask the club to do whatever it takes because the alternative you will find unpalatable. The supporters do not want to return to the starting line and I am sure those running the club don’t want to be remembered for being the ones who oversaw our relegation and what that could mean for our future.
We will if I am honest become the third team in Wakefield with the progress Featherstone have made especially if we go part time which was suggested before the Bradford game and let’s face it our none Sky revenue streams are questionable and no Vastman I don’t support them either.

In the past I've made the comment must win games due to the amount of of posters doing the same but recently it was with genuine concern, having replies of there's plenty of games to find the points is now looking fairly worrying, it's now getting to the point where are two thirds way through the season, now we have no choice in accepting where we have to win these games,

Sunday must restore the 4 point gap needed to keep everyone happy that's hoping Leeds win too

Rather than look at all fixtures let's take each one at a time

I keep reading that if we take our chances we'll be fine. Well, we've had a number of chances so far and we've blown the majority of them. Saturday was the big chance to go 6 league points clear of TO and we were leading 20-4 at half time. And then look what happened. We rolled over for a second half drubbing and are now only 2 league points clear. Some of the current team wouldn't know a chance if you gift wrapped it and handed it to them on a silver salver.
