Scubby Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If Wakefield get to the last game of the season level on points with London, they could get relegated having never been in bottom place. Obviously it would need a series of results to happen but would be very unusual. The Hull KR v Wakefield game is huge. Has that sort of thing happened before?

wilsontown Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Well, in thst scenario they would finish in bottom place... I think they're done. London seem to pick up points when they need to and Wakefield are in free fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Huddersfield or Wakefield now for mine. Wakefield have strengthened but are awful. Huddersfield haven’t strengthened and are awful. Take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London's points difference will keep Wakey in Super League Which game do you think they will win? Rovers away, Wigan at home or Warrington away? If they don't win any of those, it'll come down to the last game of the season and points difference won't even matter as they'll be on the same. It'll be winner takes all. This assuming of course that London don't win their next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixiedean Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 London keep winning when they have to. They did so last year too. People forget they were written off for the top four with 3 to play last season. Look what happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Leeds - London (a), Salford (h), Warrington (h) Wakefield - Rovers (a), Wigan (h), Warrington (a), London (h) Huddersfield - Cas (h), Hull (a), Saints (a), Catalans (h) Rovers - Wakefield (h), Catalans (a), London (h), Salford (a) London - Leeds (h), Rovers (a), Wakefield (a) If those fixtures in bold are won, all teams could be on 20 points before Round 29! Leeds would be safe because of their points difference and the fact London and Wakefield play each other (unless it goes down to a draw after ET). Still too close to call.

Wellsy4HullFC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 My main concern with London, if they do stay up, is whether they can build on what they've achieved this year. They haven't announced any signings of note have they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobbygobbler Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Are all the last day fixtures kicking off at the same time or will they stupidly be on different days like last year when Hull KR knew exactly what they had to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would make prudent financial sense. The advantage they have, though, if someone else goes down, presumably they'd be looking to offload quite a few quickly. Broncos would probably be best placed to pick them up, being a long, long way below the cap. And some way below their wage bill for this year.
