why? that is what a squad is for! as long as they are named in the 19 man squad.

Completely agree. If it was Leeds up there and clear with a chance of going for all 3 trophies; a very demanding task, then using London at home a week before the cup semi would seem a great opportunity to rest key players. May not work out well for us but Saints have a very strong squad and at home will still compete well with London.

The games at London pal

Leeds were fined when Doug Laughton was in charge for resting players before CC semi.Im not sure if the rules have changed.Will you complain if Hull rest players?

We have enough opportunity to avoid relegation this year with the games remaining.

We can’t control what anyone else will do. We can make sure we don’t give up more soft losses though.

We could do with Lui and Martin really having a dig for us.

we have that's why I'm not bothered what team Saints play.

It's a funny one. They brought in the squad rules as they are as a direct result of Mr Millward's team selection for the game against Bradford. They didn't however make any rules about who needs to be named in said squad. As long as they are eligible players, we can field whoever we want. I'm sure there's some form of 'spirit of the game' clause in the rules somewhere, but difficult to actually punish us for it.

The initial plan was the rest half the squad against London and half against Halifax. But it seems they are taking Wembley seriously this year and aren't risking that.

Leeds will be fine in the grand scheme of things. London will likely still go down. The main victims of this crime? Perhaps Halifax, who'll face a full strength, fresh as a daisy Saints side.

Saints have earned the right to do what the hell they like with their squad. Theyve built a 10 point lead at the top so I dont blame them for resting players.

Cheers missed that. Still think Saints will compete well though.

We need to take care of our own business anyway, we have a kind enough fixture in Hull at home who also have focus on the Semis.

Correct it's still in our hands with enough winnable games.

This continued speculation over our SL status can’t be helping us at all in the transfer market for 2020. You can see how lower clubs get caught in this self-reinforcing negative cycle.

We look like we’ll need another three wins maybe from remaining fixtures. First one against Hull would be a huge step forward. We do like making life hard for ourselves.

it can't help especially if we eyeing a big one up.3 wins you would think will be enough.London away could well be the biggest game of the season if we fail to pick up points against Hull Catalan and Huddersfield.

For whoever goes down, it will be hard to keep the side together. Good players want to play in SL and other clubs will be circling, especially if it’s us.

Huddersfield and Wakey will be in a similar boat; both have some real talent in their sides.

Bad as we were last week, I'm watching wakey tonight and thinking 2 more points could well see us safe. F****d if I can see how they're going to pick up any more.

Crazy season this. Wakey looked pretty good earlier in the year.

Feel Wakefield are in deep trouble with their run of games and injury crisis. Their last game v London is going to be very big IMO

Agreed. Wakey looking very poor at the moment.. most definitely getting dragged into the relegation battle

Wakey looking poor but the way this season is going they will probably beat a top team in next couple of games.

If London beat Saints (Saints resting 10 players) I’d agree Wakefield are in real danger of relegation.

London won't get to play weakened sides every week though and they still have some distance to travel on points difference as well as needing wins.

On a level, this year is fascinating at the bottom and most fixtures are significant.

We are not out of danger ourselves yet. Will be very interesting to see how we perform against Hull.

We look like we're coming home with a wetter sail than some sides around us but... it really is week by week at the moment. Two poor losses and we're in massive trouble.

IF this weekends rsults saw us beating Hull, London beating Saints and Hull KR beating Huddersfield, then Wakefield and Huddersfield will be deep in the doggie do da

What makes you think we are coming home with a wet sail?

We were saying we'll be ok weve got a few home games. If we lose against Hull that's 2 out of the way and 2 losses .Then running out of reasons to thinking we'll be OK .I think the team will have a go at this one .Hope so

The previous three performances before KR were better, and we’ve got Lui and Martin added in. Even Lunt might help give us better structure going forward. I think we have the players to get us away from bottom spot now; I see some of our rivals struggling with form and injury.

Team and fans have to perform starting Sunday. Simple as that. Crucial times at moment.
