The way I see it, it's just as important the London lose (bless them) as we win. If we beat Cats and they lose their next, then yes we just need one other win from our remaining games and they can't really overtake us due to PD.

Indeed. As a neutral I find it very interesting.

I'm surprised anyone watches the NRL without a yearly battle over relegation. Maybe this is one idea they could steal from us

All the interest in relegation translates into bigger crowds, TV viewing figures and sponsorship. Doesn't it??

Yes have you not noticed how packed out Headingley is this season. It’s the same at Huddersfield, Wakefield and London.

And that is why it's a flawed system. How bizarre that the NRL thrives with no relegation or promotion... it must be witch craft!

Its certainly exciting this particular year not that I'm enjoying it . I dont even look forward to the games without trepidation.

I'm glad our panic set in a little earlier and our new signings have had a bit of time to settle in.

We are very fortunate that we have the financial clout to make a few things happen in a crisis. With our Marquees we must be spending waaay over what London, HKR or Wakey are. Much credit for turning this disaster around (so far) but let’s not kid ourselves it’s a level playing field at the bottom.

Just one or two more wins should get the job done now I hope, and the club can get on with the important next phase of team rebuilding and the coaching appointment(s).

A season best remembered for tension than champagne rugby, Saints aside of course.
