| Will be a compelling watch. Rovers can make themselves safe, but it won't guarantee Wakey, if London hammer us on the last day, assuming we lose against Warrington.
London are 150 worse off. Let's say we each lose by the same number of points on Friday, Wakey would have to lose to London by 76 points to go down. Unlike the OP, as a Wakey fan, I won't be confident until the last day at 4.45pm.

Come on Slugger, all of us would take not getting done by 75 points on the last day of the season as being safe.

The arrogance of the OP is a little premature
"Who is this super arrogant get, ....... Sarge? No. Rosemary, the telephone operator? No. Penry, the mild-mannered janitor?" COULD BE

| London wont go down imo. Super League will expand to 14 teams and Toronto and Toulouse will come in - that would be an ideal super league imo

Do you realise the Saints 'Academy' that faced London had between them played over 400 more Super League Games than the 17 Players the Broncos put out there?
Tony Smith had no issue, Richard Agar had no issue so I am at a loss to understand quite why a Hull KR fan would have an issue?
The cap is based around a 25 man squad. If the numbers 20 - 25 are not good enough to be classed as first team players then they should be removed from the cap and Saints can have that to spend elsewhere. Would that make you happier?

We dont agree on much sometimes, but I am 100% with you on that.
Toronto need to be self sufficient and get a marketing team to big up games in Canada. IMO they could get crowds of 15k+ in SL
Toulouse would give France the shot in the arm it needs to boost interest there and to help improve the International game.

Tony Smith did have an issue. He complained about it in a recent article.
I can see why a coach would be annoyed by it but I’m very much of the view that resting so many players rarely works anyway as it disrupts a teams momentum but also its attitude.
In recent time I’m struggling to remember a time where it’s actually worked resting a large amount of players.
So I doubt we’ll see it happen very often.

Cos the OP is a hull fan masquerading as a rovers fan so when we probably capitulate we'll get all the rovers fans thought they were safe diatribe

I've not seen that article however I did hear him shoot down that awful Aussie woman who has replaced Angela Powers when asked about it. He was adamant it didn't bother him so I am surprised to hear he has now backtracked. Can you provide a link?
Seems like very sour grapes for him to suddenly change his mind.

Straight after the game on live tv he said he had no problem with saints doing what they did. Seems odd he’d change his mind later.

And what if Toulouse lose away at featherstone (very possible) and York win at Halifax?
Will York go up?
