Quote: ThePrinter "Well considering those SL sides also have to play each other then in the context of this competition their's still easier and trickier games.
Hudds have the 3 'unfancied' Championship teams next up in a row.
HKR go away to us, away to Salford and home to Leigh in the next three.
A difference clearly. Granted that means HKR then have some of those 'unfancied' Championship teams later on but you don't want to potentially go on a run of defeats and have to play catchup in such a short format. As we've seen at Leeds, winning games can build momentum and become a habit so if Hudds can win those 3 in a row regardless of the strength of the opposition it's helpful. Do HKR want to face Leigh potentially on the back of consecutive away defeats? Would Leeds have beaten Hull and Wigan recently if we didn't get a couple of wins against Salford and Wakey beforehand? Probably not.'"
Do HKR want to face Leigh potentially on the back of consecutive away defeats? no of course they don't because they dont want be losing consecutive away games. But it does it matter that it is Leigh or London or anyone else in that game? not really.
Hudds might have 3 championship sides in a row, they might win them all, that might give them confidence to for the remaining 3, it might mean they coast. They might lose one or two and that easier run suddenly becomes a harder one.
This is the easiest run of fixtures and SL club will have this year, by far. Whatever order they come in, its not getting any easier. Youre just making up possible circumstances and then pretending they are a consideration but they don't exist anywhere outside your head.
