KR vs London : Fri Sep 06, 2019 10:02 am  

I will be at Warrington tonight, yet keeping a very close eye on this game.

I agree that as a team we should not be looking to rely on other teams and concentrate on what we can control but as a fan of Wakefield Trinity I feel like we have had more than our fair share of "Million pound games" and really not sure the old heart can take another all or nothing game ! For that reason this fixture tonight is impossible for me to ignore!

Both teams will be desperate, London more so I believe as effectively they don`t get another chance after tonight where as KR can still stay up even if they lose tonight albeit with a tough final game at Salford, they will want the job done tonight! I think Hudds will pick up a win against Catalan. As it stands if London lose out tonight they would have to make up a 160 point gap in the points difference effectively having to beat us by 80 points next week. All that said, if we could pull a great performance out of the bag tonight against a Warrington side that will be desperate to get the win and maintain there position in the table and get the 2 points then none of the above actually matters at all. It is sad that a season with such high expectation has finished with us having to even have any interest at all in this fixture yet it is just the situation we find ourselves in and the sooner we are deemed safe and we an all breathe a big sigh of relief once again the better.

Come on HKR

I'd take a HKR win and a 2nd bottom finish for us at the moment. I'd rather the lads pulled a win out the bag to help us finish with some pride but would rather this horrible season was just over and out the way. Its been a big let down

Totally agree with this.
Right now, I dont care how our SL status is kept in tact, just as long as it is.
If we could win tonight and then again next week, we may finish 8th but, in the grand scheme of things, we just need to be in SL next year.
From where we started and following two decent campaigns, this season has been bloody awful.

KR just announced the signing of Shaun Kenny-Dowall for next season as their marquee player, so they are planning on being in SL next season...lets hope they win tonight

SKD

that’s an excellent signing if true

I would have thought a player of his calibre would be looking at one of the top sides to play for

Will be good to see him in SL next year

He has been a great player no doubt, but he will be 32 year old by the time next season starts and has had quite a few injury problems over the last few seasons and is currently in rehab now for an injury. For me I would be disappointing had our club payed marquee money for a wing/centre in the twilight of his career. Akuila Uate springs to mind in this case.

Surely Super League XX## will go down to the last game. Saints have made the top rather boring and there is some jostling for 2-5 but the extra drama will come in the last round.

HKR have to win tonight as they wont beat Salford next week - meaning they will be relegated.
