We need to be a fair bit closer than "on the radar" ?

That’s not going to happen

Tolouse are down

If they win their last three games by a total of 46 and we lose all three by the same total we are down. We've already lost more than one single by that difference this season.

Re: Andrew Fifita : Wed Aug 24, 2022 7:47 am  

Regarding players leaving I think the thing that galls me is this squad has been gash all season, but for whatever reason something seems to have clicked these last half dozen games, surely tweaking a few positions would have been the way to go. Instead we’re letting TJ, Miller, Batchelor, Fifita and possibly Aydin all going and I’d say they are/were our more talented performers

Just to be clear if they win all three and we lose ours they will not have to make up 100 if they win each game by say 10 points that would reduce it to 70 we would then have to ensure if we lose games its by fine margins, Warrington are in the same boat but have a better difference.

Hopefully, get the right result on Thursday, and we can start to plan ahead.

That also means any confirmation by the club, regarding Fifita and Miller.

Seriously!!, do you genuinely believe that the club are so amateurish in their recruitment that things aren't in motion for next season, I'm not privvy to anything and like you I get my imfo wherever it comes from, I'm sure the club knows whose gone/going but it's not their place to say is it, as for recruitment they're not our players till they've signed and if they are still negotiating they're unlikely to broadcast it to other clubs, we may not like who they sign but one thing is for sure they will be doing their best cos without players we don't have a team.

I think we’ll see a change when we are mathematically safe. Simple question to anyone, would you join or sign for a company/team who might technically go bust/down putting you out if work/voiding contract. I wouldn’t until I knew things were safe

Problem is if players are OOC you can’t stop them going .
I would bet all you mentioned WANT to go either chasing money we can’t match or their heart is no longer at the club in which case off they go for me.
We move on .
The club are not naive enough not to have foreseen this and we may get some answers after Thursday if we beat HKR.

What?!? You’re talking about odds like being struck by lightening
It’s virtually impossible for Tolouse to stay up

They are 3 wins behind us and 91 points behind us

They’d have to beat each team by an average of 31 points or assuming we lose each of our last games

Just to be even more clear

Wire 16 points & -111
Wakey 16 points & -177
Toulouse 12 points & - 286

Tolouss we’re relegated as soon as they lost to wire

Any loses we suffer will soon bring that points difference together. 45 - 0 loss at Saint Helens for example.

Whilst I don't see Toulouse winning all 3 of their remaining games, and given how we've played the last few weeks I don't see us getting hammered but Saints and Huddersfield are both capable of beating us by 30 points if we're not ready for them, or get complacent. Add to that a narrow defeat to Hull KR and our points difference could take a hit of 70 points.
That would then leave Toulouse needing 3 wins by an average of about 15 points which is not impossible.

I don't see it happening and I'm fairly hopeful that we will win on Thursday in our last home game and put it to bed, but it's not quite over until that happens.
