You should walk it against Widnes they have been done since last season.

Salford look like they'll rip you apart though.

10 points will either guarantee a home draw in the mpg or avoid the mpg game completely. You need a min of 12 to guarantee safety. Just be glad you've got Toronto at home.

Think you'll survive but if nothing is down closed season, you might come unstuck next year.

10 points has been enough to avoid the MPG previously, and so it should in a league of 7. Whilst Widnes isn't a 'must win' mathematically, it probably is in reality, because unless Salford are so well clear they're cruising by the time we play them, they look capable of beating us quite comfortably. That means we have to beat Toronto, Fax and Widnes to guarantee survival. Interestingly if we beat Widnes the MPG could well involve two Championship teams.

i think posters on here think widenes are suddenly going to turn up against leeds when they couldn't in any of their last 15 games
we should win with something to spare and then the result against salford is less important
i'd be tempted to blood a few against halifax which leaves the toronto game and they haven't looked anything special so far

Do they have to "turn up" to beat us? I think a postcard or a text might be all that's required.

game kicks off as I board a plane for a 13 hour flight. going to be a long wait to realise we lost and are in deep doo dah

Worrying that Salford will beat us so we have to beat Widnes, Halifax and Toronto. With our complete inability to defend we could find two of those difficult and with the right team selection we may even make the third a challenge!

Personally I am actually more worried about Widnes than I am Salford. Widnes are in last chance solution, their hunger SHOULD be very high, if they have any professionalism about them. A loss for them and they are finished. Salford, whilst have wins are not as good as Hull KR, and we can at least say we came close on that. So at this stage for me Widnes is the more worrying.

Yeah me too. Make no mistake Widnes are crap and we should beat them by plenty but i fear they may out enthuse us crazy as that sounds, they will be all out this week and treating this as a cup final and on their pitch where we have had some shockers they will really fancy it. Nothing less than treating this game in the same manor will do from us if we are to get the result we desperately need now.

You will be fine. We(HKR) have suffered big time once in this stupid comp were if you finish 9th you could be relegated, but the team that finishes rock bottom could survive. Time for it to go. That said your game against Salford will be interesting, but you don,t want the MPG, it,s a nightmare, were a bad call can send you down. We(HKR) are nowhere near safe and cannot go down again. I,m still very worried it could happen again..If you finish bottom, you should be relegated, end of.

It’s a shame the young Scottish half back isn’t allowed to play.

yes and if we lose that confidence will nosedive this team will throw in the towell

If in all our remaining games we showed genuine fortitude in defence we'd have a good shout of winning all of them. With the kind of shambolic attitude we have been showing we could easily lose 2 games. That's what I don't understand - its great that we're now scoring points and Sinfield can sound all calm in press conferences, but there's more starch in his shirts than our defence. Yet every single expert on the game will tell you that defence is about effort and attitude as a team and should be the first thing addressed when a team is struggling.

I'm starting to feel nervous about this game now

YEP reports Ward out as well as the more obvious Ablett missing.
