So HKR have dragged themselves off the canvas to get off the bottom of the table

As you did last week, apart from one week was enough for us thanks (although depending on results on Sunday it could be short lived).

Just how tight is the bottom of SL and could we see a club relegated on points difference ?
Although Saints and Wire have been ahead all season, the battle for the GF will only really get underway once the regular season has finished and although Catalan and Hull looked in position to challenge, Wigan have got themselves into a competitive position and I still feel that it wont be a Saints v Wire final.
One of them is likely to fall.

Yeah London may not have expected to win today away to Cas but they can’t afford scorelines like they’re getting today. Leeds and Hudds are effectively 1 point ahead of them because of points difference.

And hosting Warrington next week might be rough for you.

Not sure we'll get much out of Wigan away.

Leeds at Cas will be the first proper test with Lui - Catalans are a shambles

The Huddersfield Salford match might get tasty.

Still wide open.

And we still to play all 3 again before the end of the season, 2 of them at home.

So, all change at the foot of the Table after the weekends games. Next up Salford host Huddersfield with the loser really dragged itno the mire. Leeds visit Castleford, with the hosts keen to cement a top 5 place, the visitors desperate to put distance between them and London, FC and Saints could well be the game of the round, depending which version of FC rock up, Wigan could really do London a favour as they are looking like top 5 material now and could turn the screw on HKR, but the Tony Smith factor may well balance this one out, Catalan v Wakefield will be a season ending defeat for either side and London will need to keep the score down when Wire visit......other than the Saintsv FC game, every second is counting again

By the end of July Catalans could be right down there.

Possible but unlikely. I think 20 points might mark the start of the safe zone but who knows?

My son predicted Huddersfield for the drop before the season started. I thought that was unlikely but.....

Salford are 4 points clear of Huddersfield with a vastly superior points difference (3rd or 4th best in the league last time I checked). Little confused as to why we'd be in the mire as even if we lost in Thursday we're effectively 3 points better off than Hudds with our points difference.

3rd best and at least a 100 point cushion against the other teams in the lower half.

Cannot see Salford going down at all
