| I could certainly see Wakefield losing to London. That’s not meant as disrespect to Wakefield simply that it’s a high pressure game and London are a good team.
But I can’t see Hull KR beating Salford.
Still between London & Hull KR for the drop for me.

| Wakefield played all right tonight. Show the desire and spirit against London that they did in the second half tonight, and they've got every chance of winning that game. I hope London stay up though, and I'm not really bothered at whose expense.

| Awful position to find yourself in but it makes for a great last week for the neutrals!
Can't wait for the nightmare to be over for us, just been a wretched season after promising so much early on...if London beat us that will be 3/3 and we will deserve to go down just on that basis!
I've a feeling our recent level of form is just a bit above theirs though and I'd expect us to win with a bit in hand so long as the pressure of the situation doesn't get too much...with experienced players like Brough, Kirmond and Atkins and the like that shouldn't be an issue I wouldn't have thought...
I obviously want us to avoid relegation but I'd also be sad to see London go down as I think they've done so well this season...
The gutless Catalans to beat Huddersfield and us and London to draw would do me fine!

| Wakefield are safe because of points difference. So have nothing to play for. London win.
HKR play Salford who have nothing to play for will rest players for playoff game. HKR win.
Huddersfield play Catalans who have nothing to play for but Huddersfield are a basket case and will join Huddersfield Town in being relegated in the same season. Catalans win.
Huddersfield relegated.

Interesting thesis. I will watch the results closely.

Trinity are not safe. They need to win was much as the others so have everything to play for. Huddersfield will beat Catalans.
A remarkable turn of events but all four clubs have their destiny in their own hands and as it stands don't need to rely on others.

Points difference means nothing against league points now. If Hull KR, Huddersfield and London win, Wakefield are relegated.

Salford are still playing for 3rd so can't see them resting anyone.

| Trinity are going down. They've offer next to nothing to the league this season and while every other team is shoeing improvement, Trinity are just as terrible as they were 10 games ago

| All games should kick off at the same time on the same day.
Sky should pull their fingers out and get one game on Main Event and one on Arena. With News going to the other two grounds regularly.
But that’s not going to happen in a million years because while Sky do fund our game they really don’t give a shiny one about it in reality.

Well you got half of your wish. All games involving the bottom four are now kicking off at the same time on Friday night, with the Wakey v London game being televised.
It would be nice if more than one were televised but realistically our sport isn't popular enough for something like that.

Cheers mate, didn’t realise this had been decided.
Good and fair move I say!

I think that in the basket case pecking order, Catalan are comfortably top of the pile, it's an almost certain 2 points for Huddersfield.
The toughest task is for KR, who will be gutted at losing in the last couple of minutes last night and who knows what effect this will have on their mind set and on the flip side of this, London will believe that they can survive and having beaten Trinity twice already this season, I think they may well sneak the win that they need.
Not wanting to tempt fete as it will be the tensest of tense evenings, KR look most in peril but, as Jimmy Greaves used to say "it's a funny old game" and anything could happen.

Don't forget another scenario.
If London lose narrowly to Wakey & Hull K.R. get a fifty odd points shellacking at Salford, then K.R. would go down on points difference.
