Well they got battered tonight. Maybe KR are saving themselves for next week.

If we win next week, hull KR would need to win 3 more games than us in the remaining 7 fixtures.

The game is vital. I'm sure they'll be up for it

I still fancy London for the drop but KR really didn’t need that towelling for their points diff.

We just need to keep the pedal down regardless - once we look clear it’s going to make coach and player recruitment much easier.

Looking at the remaining games, Salford could be pulled into this relegation battle.

RD 21 - LON v WAR
RD 22 - HUD v CAT, HFC v LON, LEE v HKR, WAR v SAL
RD 23 - HKR v HUD, LON v STH, LEE v HFC, SAL v CAT
RD 24 - HUD v LEE, LON v SAL, HKR v CAS
RD 25 - SAL v HUD, CAS v LON, LEE v CAT, WIG v HKR
RD 26 - HUD v CAS, CAT v LON, LEE v STH, WAK v HKR, HFC v SAL
RD 27 - HFC v HUD, LON v LEE, CAT v HKR, SAL v WAR
RD 28 - STH v HUD, HKR v LON, LEE v SAL
RD 29 - HUD v CAT, WAK v LON, LEE v WAR, SAL v HKR

They beat Hull and Wire in recent weeks. Wigan away was not one of the games they would have ear marked for wins in the run in. I still they will be fine but you are entitled to your view.

Theres not enough games left to be ear marking any of them, every game should be targeted

Of course. And im sure they played to win but there are other more crucial games to come for KR where they are more like must win games and they have a fair few. Im thinking Hudds at home us away Salford away Wakey away Cats away London home- all those are against sides in poor form or direct rivals for the drop.

Just seen KR play Wigan again away in a couple of weeks. What a joke that is and not a good advert for loop fixtures.

These additional fixtures are a joke.

They should just make it 14 teams for next year no team deserves to go down this year IMO

Agreed. Imo it would be a travesty for whoever it is.

The structure won't change until the new TV deals are negotiated, so 2022 at the earliest.

You never know. This is RL. This is SL. We change formats and systems at the drop of a hat, it still wouldn't surprise me if they went 14 for next year even this late in the day. At least now we seem to be pulling clear so shouldn't get all the saddo comments from opposition fans claiming it is only to save Leeds.

It’s more about saving London than Leeds IMO (and rightly so IMO)

Yes, and I said at the time, they were poop in both and lucky. They look really poor, the worst side down there. I actually think London have resigned themselves to the drop, but that doesn’t mean they are the worst.

I reckon one of this pair will go down but I think the idea that London are resigned to the idea is far from the truth. More likely they're targeting the few they need and that they think are winnable. And Catalans, wakey, salford or hudds might yet worry their fans before the season's done

I think anyone can go on a bad run and get dragged into it. If the head to heads get a fairly even split of wins by the bottom few then a team who is coasting could be in strife

Warrington hammering London at the moment, I wonder if the wheels are finally starting to come off for them.

Probably a combination of London running out of steam and other teams stepping it up both because they know they have to or London can beat them and it’s the business end of the season.

Would be good if relegation was scrapped this year and extend the teams to 14. SL wanted a competitive league, they now have one, as someone said this year no one deserves to be relegated, suggest extend to 14 teams and get the greedy SL chairmen to accept 1.7 million in Sky sponsorship as opposed to the £2M they receive this year. Let's see which chairmen are more interested in building SL or simply looking after their own affairs. I bet this idea would be voted down immediately

The other teams at the bottom have had their little purple patch I.E winning games we needed them to lose .We are having ours now .They were banking on us losing last night. Not over yet and I expect KR to have a dig ne t week it will be very tense

Added the Wakefield games to this with that huge loss at Catalans. They have a really tough set of fixtures.

We just need to get points in the bag as soon as possible.

Get the pressure off, get planning for 2020 properly when we know we’ll be in SL still.

We should beat HKR and can’t afford to get out-enthused by the exes.

Should be WAR v WAK in round 28.

All the people wanting SL to move to 14 teams cos it would make it competitive and nobody deserves to be relegated. Do you not think SL will be unbelievably competitive with Toronto up and London down?

Once promoted Toronto wont mess about. They will add some star names. If you think its competitive now (which it is and all the better for it) wait til next year.

Ahh Toronto the Celtic Crusaders of the 2020's.

What you smoking Marty, can I have some LOL. if SL is to be developed in the UK we need a strong London side not a teams over 4,000 miles away
