two of the relegation rivals coming up

hull kr and london

we shall see where we are at after these two games

another interrupted pre season from us with thorman and mark andrews both going and injuries on top of that, disaster

Said Exactly the same today, can see Hudds going down and Ken saying enough is enough. Lets not forget he publicly made it clear a few years ago in the press he didnt think Huddersfield will ever get the fan base to become self sufficient.

Would the RFL let clubs like Hudds, Leeds and Wigan get relegated for the likes of Toronto? I doubt it.

They didnt do anything in 2001. I can see dodgy shifts in rules with Leeds and Wigan...But Huddersfield Nah.

Nonsense

Of course they would. Bradford who were previously part of the “big 4” were relegated twice into League One.

It present circumstances you'd have to agree but we weren't far off averaging nearly 10k when N Brown was with us. Some sustained success would get us around 9-10k I'd say, very comparable to say St Helens. You could argue St Helens are never going to get much more than they do, so perhaps do a lot more in the corporate area, which Huddersfield could too in similar circumstances.

In the SL era we've been very up and down, that makes it hard to build crowds I'm afraid. And as a result in terms of 'successful periods' theres a large age gap in fans, which I think a lot of teams suffer from, this is fixable I believe but not overnight. Especially when its sport wide too.

I see SL looking at lots of other sports and leagues which to model and pinch things from but l think its going to have to create something new.

Not sure where you’ve got those numbers from- but we were a long way off 10k when brown was here! Less than 8000 the year we topped the table.

Might have ogt the season(s) wrong, maybe towards beginning of Browns era but I'm pretty sure around that time re was talk of not being far off 10k average, maybe I'm remembering the hype and not the facts...

Shouldn't you be more worried about Leeds rubbish start to the season rather than trolling the Hudds forum?

It’s not trolling. Both Leeds and Huddersfield look like they could be in the relegation dog fight.

Your next two games against relegation candidates, Hull kr and London are massive, with both those clubs already on 6 points. On another board it was mentioned 16 points is normally enough to be safe, a win for Hull kr or London would mean they are half way there.

I can’t see us winning either of our next two (Catalans away or Cas at home). We then play Hull kr, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Hull kr again, Salford. This will make or break our season, all of those games are winnable (I don’t think we will win them all) but 3 or 4 out of 5 should mean we have a good chance to be safe. 0, 1 or 2 out of those 5 and I think it is likley we will go down.

Unlike you not to be trolling to be fair.
Catalans away must be a dilemma for you, which team do you want to win?

Wakefield (A) is winnable when you were stuffed by Trinity at Headingley?

Leeds

Two crucial games and two crucial wins. As long as we keep winning games when we have a fair chance to do so and spring the odd suprise we will be ok. The league looks like being really close this year, London are now gradually sinking down to where they were predicted to be, but will win a few more at home especially i'm sure. All to play for!

2 points seperate the bottom 5 teams, 4 points seperate the bottom 9 teams. With the exception of St Helens and Warrington, who seem a country mile ahead of everyone else, it seems nearly every club is still in contention for a play off spot or a relegation battle.

Latest relegation odds from betfred, London 4/11, Huddersfield 5/1, Leeds 6/1, Hull kr 8/1, Salford 10/1, Wigan 100/1

london.

That 100/1 price for Wigan is looking great for anyone that took it.

I'd say Leeds adrift at the bottom at 6/1 is the good bet eh Kev?

It certainly will be looking that way if the Giants win on Friday

giants 8/1 now.

london 1/2
hull kr 5/2

Let's hope the castleford brainfart implosion isn't a turning point in the season for the wrong reasons. Still some squeaky bum time for us until we get a couple more wins

Don’t really see London getting three more wins than us from the final games tbh.
Not sure why people were surprised by the score tonight. Saints top of table, rested key players, with a point to prove at home after last week - against a makeshift 13 with an average age of 23.

I didn't see it either, but top teams are gifting them points by playing weakened sides against them. Like you i expected us to get smashed against saints today, but we are a massive confidence side and always have been, and now it's low. Let's hope woolford can turn them around before losing becomes a habit

Very poor

When we lose, we mention injuries and players out. Yet we can't beat Cas and Wakefield twice who both had way more players out than us. Cas still have London to play twice at home. Least Woolford knows the 5 is unrealistic, we're in a relegation battle.

We have the worst set of props in the whole of SL for me, including London.

Thought the left edge of Russell, Hewitt, Jake and Innes was horrific tonight. We really missed Joe far too much.

Dom Young was very impressive for what 17 years old?
