Pre-season I thought relegation was looking to be between London and Salford, both teams have had great starts with 2 and 3 wins respectively. How many points do you think will be needed to stay up?

Hudds seem to be the team in trouble. We need to keep picking points up at home

Between 14and 16 Points should be enough for 11th spot....the highest tally for a team finishing bottom since the end of Licencing was 14 for Huddersfield in 2016....

If we say 16 is the target, then we are 25% of the way there already.

We have a to target Hudds, Reds, HKR as must wins at home

Then we are looking for a few more wins

I get the impression that Danny Ward is a very quick learner. He moved Cunningham to hooker today and by all accounts that worked and we managed the ball (other than for 15 minutes at the start) better than Wigan. I am under no illusion that we will be involved in a dog fight at seasons end, but I think Ward will do as you say and target specific games. Catalans don't travel well, Huddersfield are a shambles and if Hull FC defeat Leeds next weekend, then the week after we need to target Leeds at Headingley, where they and their coach will be under the pump.
St Helens this coming week will me a good marker for how we can limit damage to our +/- column....they have started well and I see them and Castleford as the form teams to date.

I think the relegation battle could be really tight between quite a few clubs this year. It’s certainly far more exciting than the qualifying for 8’s throughout the season.

I’m not confident we will beat you in 2 weeks time, well if we play like we did against Salford we should be far too strong, if we play like we did against Wakefield you could well get another scalp.

How many wins in total make it safe? 7?

One more than Huddersfield.

Re: Relegation : Wed Mar 06, 2019 7:48 pm  

Good point....can't see Huddy winning more than 5/6 so maybe only 3/4 wins more for Broncos

Re: Relegation : Wed Mar 06, 2019 7:52 pm  

We play Huddersfield twice in a month soon, if win both of them we will be well on our way to survival.
