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

If Salford beat Leeds tonight they are pretty much guaranteed a top 5 spot with there PD, do you not think they may be tempted to rest a few players against KR if it is a nothing game for them with a playoff game the week after? It is all dependant on the scenario after tonight really.

Even if Salford do win tonight, I still think they'd play a good 13 v HKR as they would want to go into the play-offs with their winning run intact........
Look how Hull and the Wire have dropped off in recent weeks...........
Just my opinion...............

Assuming Saints beat Huddersfield, it is not a disaster if we lose tonight and London win. We could stay up by beating London, OR, even if we lost that one too, hope Huddersfield and KR lose too, as points difference would keep us up.

I'm not saying we are safe, but there would have to be a lot of results to go against us for us to go down (unless Wire put 70 past us - at that point, all bets are off).

Huddersfield have Catalans at home last match.
Catalans are out of top 5 chase, so to me it's an easy 2 points for Huddersfield.
If we don't win tonight and London beat HKR it's down to last match of season. HKR are away to Salford and we have London at home.
Anything could happen then, it's a 3 way scrap between us London or HKR for who is relegated.
Let's just hope Rovers do us and themselves a big favour tonight.

I still think it will be decided next weekend. Whether that be us needing to beat London to stay up, or London needing to beat us to send someone else down.

Salford will want to win. Second place has value in the playoffs, as does 3rd to be honest with a home game.

Oh Dear, London 6 nil up after a couple of minutes.

Re: KR vs London : Fri Sep 06, 2019 6:57 pm  

I've just got visions of that penultimate Bradford game in 2006, and what the Sky commentators said after it when I watched the replay - "well, we know we'll be at Belle Vue next weekend".

Oh god we’re going down aren’t we.
