Huddersfield and Hull KR will have a much better chance at returning to SL if relegated. Salford however I fear for.

think koukash walks if salford go down

he predicts it will be salford v huddersfield in the mpg at leighs ground.

salford win and huddersfield relegated i fear

have a sneaky feeling that defeat to leigh will be the kick up the @rse huddersfield needed, wouldnt be suprised to see them beat leeds at home

That depends on whether Leeds have there buckets and spades out, a fully focused Leeds side will be too good for Hudds.

Wouldn't lose any sleep if Huddersfield went down - certainly wouldn't miss their crowds. SL should go down to 10 teams for a bit anyways, imo

losing all season hasnt given them a kick up the backside

we are better at home though and have a decent record against leeds

would you miss salfords crowds? and a few others not just giants

Salfords crowds have been disappointing. Whereas Leigh's fans seem hungry. If it's salford to go down then it's not a bad swap. no disrespect to the poor loyal salford fans but that's the way it currently is.

A SL of 10 great idea yes that'll certainly keep it fresh it's bad enough with 12 IMO

I have to agree. I understand we need to share the money as best we can, but at some point the reduction in teams makes the league pretty pointless.

A 10 team league would be far too repetitive.

I could live with a 10 team league if there were going to be fewer games and so increase the competitiveness. But RL clubs with current crowds can't survive, let alone thrive, on 9 games a year so I'm against it.

In fact I'd be tempted to go the other way and go with a 20 team league but with no P&R.

For the current format 12 is about right. Less and clubs will struggle to make money even more than they do now. more and the teams coming up to play in the middle eights won't be good enough to compete.

Personally I would be looking to go to a 14 than league with Leigh and probably Bradford joining the top table. Then in a years time have a look and see if anyone needs to be replaced or if any other championship teams could add something to the top flight. No P&R and a top 8 playoff format the same as the Nrl.

hudds v hull kr next saturday to decide who stays in sl

loser gets another go...

Unless it's Huddersfield winning by less than 4 points. Then it's the loser who stays up and the winner has to play the MPG

That'd be a kick in the teeth, wouldn't it?

Huddersfield would be 2 pts ahead of Rovers, points difference would be irrelevant!!

Hull Kingston Rovers 6 4 2 0 213 119 94 8
Huddersfield Giants 6 4 2 0 234 144 90 8

Would be the biggest ever kick in the teeth, if it wasn't an impossibility.

Rovers or Hudds could still pinch 2nd place if results went the right way.

Sod that, 3rd place is the place to be

huddersfield survive

phew , dont want to go through that again..hope we learn from 2016 mistakes.

so hull kr or salford????? (london)

What a shame.

sorry to disappoint, it should have been your lot in the middle 8's so think yourself lucky salford got points deducted.

Wed have still beaten your lot so I don't think it's a problem.

Indeed. 3 times this season would easily have been 4

hull kr home to salford after today's results
