4 Aug: SL: London Broncos v Salford Red Devils KO 3pm

[redjonn]

London still have to play Leeds, Hull KR and Wakefield... all relegation teams, so its still in their hands they stay up,,, with KR and Wakefield to play each other at least one of those teams will drop key points.  Plus Leeds have a hard run in by league positions, even if games at home.

I think this relegation battle will go to the end 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Hull KR winning makes it a doubly bad day for Broncos. At least if they’d have both lost, they’d still be on equal points, now Broncos need to win at least two of their remaining games. 

Cas (a), Catalans (a), Leeds (h), Hull KR (a), Wakefield (a) left for Broncos. 

Wigan (a), Wakefield (h), Catalans (a), London (h), Salford (a) left for Hull KR. 

Can you see two Broncos wins there? It’s possible, if unlikely. They simply have to beat Hull KR in that game but before that, Cas away, tough one, you’d really fancy Cas there despite them losing to HKR today. Catalans? Well, they’re going to have a couple out through suspension, you’d suspect. Catalans forwards are much bigger and stronger so you’d still probably favour them. Leeds, well, they’ve picked up three wins out of their last five but London’s pitch could be somewhat of a leveller. Wakefield, they’re in freefall at present, so this could be a massive game at the time.

I think if you said to London that the Wakefield game will be a relegation decider they would snap your hand off.

An abysmal performance from London.

No-one comes out of that with any credit whatsoever, but noticeable that Mr Lamb doesn't like tackling much.

Talking of remaining fixtures, check out Wakefield's.

Hull FC, Hull KR, Wigan, Warrington and London.

If I were a Wakefield fan, I'd be worried.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

With only one of our last five games at home, I'm afraid that things are looking a bit grim down Ealing way.

When I predicted a Salford win by 10, .......I didn’t envisage Salford scoring 10 tries!

Nor did I, John. Nor did I.

I’ve seen some fine individual performances at Ealing this season but none as good as Jackson Hastings today. Wigan have got themselves an exceptional organising halfback.

Looking very sticky for London now.

I really hope it isn't.

There are four teams just 2 points ahead of you and some of them are poor and getting poorer. One win brings you level, though I think points difference goes against you, so two wins more than just one of those four teams and you are safe. Think positive!

Couldn't agree more keep your eyes on the prize Broncos!

Mind you didn't see that coming from SRD .......Phew with a capital Ph!

The last match of the season, the home game v HKR is going to be emotional in seeing Jackson Hasting’s last appearance for us, before he defects to The Pie Emporium.

Over his time with Salford, it seems to me that a boy has matured into a man and that the club should be proud of their part of this very good player’s development.

Thought he was truly outstanding today.

Salford completely bamboozled London’s defence and it was Hastings directing all the traffic. Amazing that he’s only 23, he has the game smarts of someone who is 33.

I suspect he may end up back in the NRL eventually and Salford would take a lot of credit if that happens.

London have gone. No hope and Bob hope chances of London staying in Super League and Bob Hope is dead

If you were a Wakefield fan you would have been worried for many months already.

London drew the second half 22 each yesterday and I thought they played well to come out like that after the drubbing they got in the first half. There was not much they could do about that either because both Hastings and Loloheah were in brilliant form for us. I hope London stay up but it looks a long shot now.

There is opportunity for Brock Lamb to make for himself and get a contract either in Super League or the NRL depending on how he performs.

Or League 1.
