While I can definitely understand why Rovers fans are bricking it (and I would certainly be doing the same in your place) I really do think that you'll win comfortably. Salford have looked completely shot for weeks now and it would take a miraculous improvement in form for them to win at the KCL in front of a hostile crowd.
Even if we were a lot better than Salford (which we're not - they won 10 games in the first part of the season), anything can happen in a one off game. We've lost to Oldham and taken a point off Warrington at home this season. It cuts two ways, and we've got a chance - but it will likely come down to chance, to some extent. Things might even up over the course of a season, but over 80 minutes they often don't. A couple of calls going against us or an early injury, and we'll be struggling - over and above our normal struggling.
No complaints, over the season we haven't been good enough to avoid this situation.
I'm not bricking it though. I'll be delighted if we stay up and I'm acutely aware of the challenges the club would face outside the top flight. But on Sunday, the cycle of hope for a brighter tomorrow starts again. IMO, since promotion, we've had 5 enjoyable seasons, 4 that had their moments, and 2016. To adapt a recently popular sentiment from the Hull board, I'd have taken that at the start of 2007.
