It's impossible to pick right now though, league is that tight at the bottom

Anyway I'm off to pick those splinters out my backside now

It is like the "I'm not dead yet sketch" from Monty Python.

Just when you think things could not get worse.

Leeds are my prediction.

I've done a little predictor mainly for fun as there's too many caveats to be anything like accurate. what might be crucial are games against any CC semi finalists and finalists around that time, as well as the usual form, injuries and unpredictibility factors. heres what i ended up with.

so if that all works out it will be a bit tight and will make for great drama in the last 2 or 3 rounds. of course it won't but its just a bit of fun. feel free to amend as you think it will go

London Broncos last 3 games are the key...Leeds at Home, HKR and Wakefield Away.......on current form you'd back them to take the 6 points, but that's september.......not June

Wakefield will more or less return to a full outfit in the next few weeks with 5 or 6 players returning - It would be extremely disappointing if we could not pick our form up to win more than 2 of our remaining games.

IMO

current points 16

1. Hudds home – Win
2. Catalans home – Win
3. Cas home – loss
4. Wigan away – loss
5. Saints away – loss
6. Hull fc home – loss
7. Hull kr away – Win
8. Wigan home – loss
9. Warrington away – loss
10. London home – Win

final points - 24

yeah i thought you would get troops back but i feel confidence might be a bit low currently, hence the 3 losses in the next 3 outings (though the next game is going to be pretty big). beyond that you have some tough fixtures. i guess hull kr away will be a big game. (also you're playing catalans away from home - my mistake)

Leeds playing Catalans (arguably both teams currently have no form) is interesting this weekend. If Leeds lose to the current Catalanshambles then they're really in the brown stuff.

I'm not expecting anything from the derby apart from another hit on our pts diff but will Hull implode again like previous times this year?

Think London are a couple of injuries away from relegation. Leeds and HKR have the depth, London unfortunately IMO do not.

You won't get much argument from London fans on this point, but the squad seems to be pretty much playing as a Unit and we've coped pretty well so far........even the players who've been signed for other sides next year (or are being tapped up) seem to be giving that extra %.....
....confidence is key. At no stage have London been "hammered' this year....I think we've only shipped 40 points twice and I know we've scored 40 twice against Wakefield alone....we've been involved in some close games and seem to have a "never say die" attitude......and we are o a run of 4 wins and a 2 point loss in the last 5 games...we are the form team in the competition!

Make no mistake London have done brilliantly. The contrast in effort from some previous teams sprinkled with very good Aussies is a lesson on how to build a team. If they stay up Danny Ward deserves a medal.

I’m no Leeds fan, but if Leeds did go down and I don’t think they will, look at the bigger picture, Leeds attract 10,000 plus crowds swapped out for Toronto who will bring what to the game, take into account that superleague crowds are falling year on year, you already have around 4 or 5 clubs in superleague who bring nothing to game, my question is how long can superleague survive, let alone can Leeds survive ???

Leeds only brought 280 fans to the saints game, it was embarrassing for a club with a massive demographic.

If you believe their numbers, Toronto may be pulling crowds of 10,000, if/when they make it into SL.
Leeds, at the moment look to be in serious trouble on the field of play and their away support, this season has disappeared like an ice cube in a teapot.
They would usually bring 3000ish to Wakefield but on their last visit (a game that they won) there was less than half of that number.
Ironically, Trinity took more fans to Headingley, than Leeds managed to bring in the opposite direciton

I am always confused when I see someone saying clubs bring nothing to the game, To me they bring a squad of 25 players which is all that is required for a game on the weekend. The majority of the funds for every club come from Sky.
What we do need is a greater number teams to play in a season I am getting sick of playing FC, three/four times a year.

Well said they should be at least 14 or 16 at a push then the game would be a lot better for it

Is that the same night there was torrential rain in the lead up to the match and for the first half?

Yes but, getting wet is all part of supporting your team, especially away from home

Toronto will bring more fans to us so we are quids in.

Leeds brought about 100 to us at the start of the season, then about 5 last week

"Best supported club in super league" according to their fans.

Toronto will bring far more than that should they replace Leeds

Fair weather supporters?

Supporting a winning team is easy, have Leeds supporters forgotten that when a team is stuggling that's when they really NEED the support? And as Rovers supporters, unfortunately we know.

If Leeds did get relegated I thought they'd bounce straight back and keep the support. I'm less convinced now.

As for declining spectators, Leeds' own are also falling year on year - not something Hetherington admits though.

Be the same as Catalans away support

Leeds avg attendance at home was staying consistent around 15-15.5 for a decade before the stadium work in the last two seasons. Only next season if Leeds are still in SL can we properly judge if they’ve dropped with a fully open stadium to work with.

Has their away following decreased, yes but ANY club would see a noticeable difference in the same circumstances. If they didn’t and their away support was the same when the winning trophies as it was when they were near the bottom then it only actually show a failure by that club NOT to INCREASE crowds during successful periods. I don’t think any club brings as many away to Headingley as they did 10 years ago.

Actually, best supported club according to the statistics. 12,638 as of this weekend just gone. Given they are at the bottom end if the table and playing like crap, i find it ironic that a fan of the top team with fewer fans feels the need to troll their fans...... Did mummy not give you enough cuddles?
