Last 3 games 2019. : Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:18 pm  

Yes I know our games, but, London play Leeds next, a must win for Leeds as they have Salford & warrington, both sharing 2nd place, so they have to win the obvious to assure 22points.
The week after, London play HkR, again a must win for assurance of not being caught by London.
Therefore, if London loose those two, it's all over & nothing hinges on the last game - us @ home.
It's going to be intersting, if London win one before our game, then all will have squeaky bum time ?
I have never said this but " come on Rhinos " & come on HKR.
But up the Trin !

I think it was posted that if both London and Hull KR lose their next games we cannot be relegated even if we don’t win another game unless we lose by very large margins.

There is another team to bring into the equation ie Hudds
They are 2 points behind us (as are LDN and HKR) and 66 behind us on points difference; does that maybe equate to 2 wins needed for them. Hudds next 2 fixtures are Hull and Saints, both away; don't see them getting much there, except more -ve points difference. But you never know, all ifs and buts.

That was my assessment, on the basis that the loser of the game the week after (Hull KR and London) would be on 18 points and with a horrendous points difference.

Huddersfield are my bet to go down.

Yes, the Catalans and HKR game is a lose-lose for them. If Catalans win, they might have something to play for in that last game, so bad for Huddersfield. If Catalans lose, bad for Huddersfield (and us) generally.

I am hopeful that having only recently worked out that we are in a relegation battle our coaching staff and players are switched on the fact that every point matters, we have to play Wigan and Warrington who on their day are well capable of posting big scores on teams who have put the cue on the rack and indeed on teams who are giving it their best. London in case we forget have hammered us twice by big margins.

42 - 34 is not a hammering, it's just a slightly less embarrassing scoreline defence wise than us. I'm not making excuses be we are yet to play London on grass, a surface they struggle with a little more. I'm sure we are more than capable of shooting ourselves in the foo a third time but a little perspective is needed.

Of the 160 mins played against London this season, if you put the games back to back, we won the first 20 minutes 18-6, the last 20 minutes 28-6, but lost the middle 120 minutes 72-14

Which is the true reflection

Whatever we really need to beat them for pride if hopefully nothing else.
