There is a scenario that brings it down to points difference between HKR, Hudds and Salford, who can all finish on 8pts. This means that we could avoid the mpg. Unlikely, but possible.

HKR beat London then Fev, but lose to Hudds = 8 points
Hudds lose to Leigh and Leeds, but then beat HKR = 8 points
Salford beat Fev, London and Batley = 8 points.

Of course, our points difference (-23) is worse than HKR's (+46) and much worse than Hudds (+90). We would need to win all our games by more than 30 points to get near Hudds.

Right now, I couldn't even guarantee that we'll win our three games.

I thought he sounded sick of it all Gadger. If he was staying why wouldn't he just come out and let us know? If all the players are being tapped up by agents they must have been told he is out of here. I hope he stays because it'll be a massive shame if it ends like this.

He isn't staying even if we make SL. Simon Orange has been interested in taking full ownership of the AJ Bell which includes us for a while now. He was also there today and overheard whatever he said as it being 'done'. I think being under the ownership of Orange can be very very good for us .

If we look at how the "SL" clubs are this morning, we get the following:
we'll leave Leeds out as they're home and dry:
HKR 6 pts and point diff of +86
Hudd 6 pts and point diff of +82
Salf 4 pts and point diff of +31

We play London on Sat.; Huddersfield entertain Leeds and Featherstone entertain HKR on Sunday.
I can't see Huddersfield losing as Leeds will be thinking of the beach.

The following weekend
Batley entertain Salford
and HKR entertain Huddersfield

I'm not ignoring London as they did get into the qualifiers by playing well.

If what you say is true regarding Orange, It's an absolute coup. Fingers crossed Twist.

Gadger mi owd mucker is it really you?How can you be sick of the Circus?It's such a happy place, come down to the Tower.
