Would SL Block A Warrington Relegation? : Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:07 pm  

As per thread title.

Just been looking through their fixtures, they can very conceivably lose the rest of their fixtures. They still have Toulouse to play in 2 weeks which i hope is on TV. As funny as it is watching them plummet i don't want them to go down and want Powell to stay on as long as possible but playing devils advocate a little. If Warrington finish bottom i think they expand the league, if Toulouse finish bottom i think they expand the league because i reckon the powers want them in the league. If Wakefield finish bottom, i think they will let them drop. Unfair? Absolutely, i just have a feeling there are cogs at work for these eventualities. If Wire do go down though at least 2023 will be their year.

Toulouse aren't going to win three more games than Warrington in the last six fixtures.

Hull KR this week and Warrington the week after. Could very well be level pegging in a fortnight. I wouldn't put my house on it.

I think they’ve already said it’s the same structure next season (or it’s rumoured to be that anyway). Whoever finishes bottom will go down I reckon and rightfully so. Wire are a right off for this season but should be safe. It would be 2023 that would worry me with Powell there. That’s a huge bulk of the side for next year playing there today. Yes they will add in the few props they’ve signed but the make up of the squad, the relationships with Powell and so on won’t be vastly different. They’re placing huge faith in a bloke who’s coaching claim to fame is having an amazing, yet ultimately major trophy less season with Cas 5 years ago.

Yes they would (as they would have with us in 2006) but they wont need to

I think Tolouse have missed a big opportunity the last 2 weeks, not saying it’s out of the question they survive but after hitting form they’ve lost 2 games I fancied them to win.

Another question - could Leeds win the league?

Could Saints lose the GF?

Can't see that but their win tonight is a big help to us. We hopefully will hang on to 2nd but even if Hudderfield finish there it wouldn't be a disaster. I think we could go there and win in the playoffs - not convinced we would be able to go to Perpignan and win.

Wire will be fine. They’ll probably inexplicably beat us next week like they used to under Cullen!
