Saints will rest a lot. Probably be a similar squad they sent to London so yeah, in that scenario we really out to end the torture.

I can’t see Saints resting many at all to be honest. Possibly ones who have played a lot, but they will have others back, that I am sure they will play. Shouldn’t matter though, obviously they have been well ahead of everyone for most of the season, but for a few weeks now they have been pretty crap to be honest. They need a good performance, as I can see them getting beat in the final without it. Funny enough ever since the started mass resting they have gone off the boil.

Still think we will beat them anyway though.

Lots of games that are too close to call between teams down here. Teams taking points of each other and points in the bag mean we should be almost there

Not sure about Salford losing that many, seem to be in a little bit of form, i think that mey well be one of our harder games to win

I don’t think Hull KR have won 2 games on the trot all season, they’re not suddenly going to go on a 4 game rum IMO in fact I think Wakefield may beat them this weekend

Big game this weekend for HKR & Wakey. Winner gets a bit of breathing space, loser is right in it.

Good news for us is that one team won’t be picking up points on us even if we lose, and then there’s only 3 to go.

One more win and we’re safe.

Yeah I think one more win is likely enough. Would love to get it this week so that we can put this season to bed and plan with security for next.

Agreed. I think London will see all four of their games as winnable.

I can see them going to Belle Vue on parity with Wakefield and/or Huddersfield.

Anybody who thinks its good for the sport to have almost half the teams in the top flight not sure which league they're playing in with just 4 games to go needs their head checking.

None of these sides can safely plan for next year, none will be able to give a few kids a game to see how they go. And we complain about short-term thinking.

Couldn't agree more. Whether excitement of surprise or not, the quality has still been absolute turd, and the game as massively regressed as a result.
