The R word is definitely one that can be used now and from Agars presser i think the team and management know it.

However I will say with 10 rounds left and bugger all between position 7-12 the league could look a lot different in just a few games time, we could even be 9th by Sunday, if we can string a few wins together the table will take care of itself IMO

I still think (or hope) London may fall off the pace however we cannot rely on other teams losing so the club is right it is in our own hands

You're doomed, I tell you, doomed.

Seriously though, in a few weeks time it wouldn't suprise me to see 4 clubs joint bottom - this season is wierd.

This weekend, we will probably see four clubs joint bottom. So a lot closer than you think. Luckily we will probably be the 9th placed team out of them.

It’s a crazy year this year. Usually there is one clear wooden spoon plonker team by this stage, but only 4 point separates a whole clutch of quite evenly matched sides this year.

It’s anyone’s guess.

I’m still not a fan of P&R but there is no denying this season is giving bags of interest to games at the bottom of the table.

And this is why I'm not a fan of P&R the interest should be who can make the top 5 which is still a lot of teams in the league, technically all of them, yet all the talk is about relegation

I don't think they are evenly matched. Luck plays a part, and other circumstances create the results. In terms of levels, there is still big gaps between some of them.

Hull KR last night, looked equally as bad as they looked last week against London, if not actually worse. One they won against a team somehow fancied (who were absolute terrible), and one they lost against what should be the poorest of the lot.

if you add together the average home crowds for London,salford,Hudds & Wakefield it just about adds up to a Leeds home crowd. Surely the League cannot afford to lose the best supported club, especially with a new TV deal due soon. I recently spoke with an RFL official and asked about a possible rule change if Leeds finished bottom and his reply was "Don't even go there, it doesn't bear thinking about"

Do you need any more salt with that opinion?

We were miles better than at London. Having an actual hooker now makes a big difference. Plus we didn't put up a single bomb last week.

Surely not no matter what the consequences if we finish bottom we must go down .We are unpopular right now for no reason ,we dont want that unpopularity to become a genuine reason

Not too sure why you would stop at 7th when 5th, 6th and 7th are all on 18 points.

We are 4 points off relegation the foot of the table and 2 points off the playoffs - It really is tight this year and a few wins could change everything drastically.
