| I think Salford and Huddersfield will win. Wakefield will be far more nervous going into their game, because London don't have as much to lose. They were red hot favourites for relegation at the start, have been bottom more or less all season, and although they have admirably stayed in touch throughout rather than being cut adrift, they would always have been favourites to go. If you had offered them at any stage of the season to go into the last game knowing a win keeps them up, they'd have taken it. With the momentum from winning so dramatically last night behind them, they will bounce on to that pitch next week while the other three teams involved will be terrified. Wakefield undoubtedly can win, but they're a long way off being safe already despite the bizarre claim above.

None of the 4 clubs involved in the relegation battle are safe, none.
I still believe that KR are most in peril though.

| Yeah I agree, I'd make Rovers favourites to go down. London will have all the enthusiasm and none of the fear of the other teams. Huddersfield should win. Salford will make the top three if we lose at Headingley, which is perfectly feasible, so they have it all to play for and they're bang in form. Another defeat to Salford relegating Hull KR is my prediction, but let's be honest, it could be anything!

What league have you been looking at ? we have everything to play for EVERYTHING we need to beat HKR by a large margin especially if Wire Beat Leeds in order to finish third and get the second chance. If Leeds somehow manage to beat Wire we will only have to win by a small margin.
I'm intrigued why you think we have nothing to play for ? especially as we are going for eight straight wins.

Indeed
Salford are THE form side in the comp and confidence and momentum are flying high.
I dont think they would have the "know how" to win a GF but, I'd be more than happy to see them at Old Trafford.
The main issue for them is that very few sides seem to win at the first attempt but, if they keep on winning, why not.
It's time that you guys had some good news and what a turn around since the MPG against KR just a short time ago.
Wonder what Koucash thinks.

Economics. Wakey are not a rich club and losing KR as a visiting team could cost them 50K a year, which is a decent squad player salary.

He has the RLFans inflicted condition of "speakbeforethinkingitis" which seems to affect a large number of posters.
I think you'll also find we can finish 2nd if both Wigan and Wire lose and we beat KR. We can also finish 2nd if Wire win, Wigan lose and we better Wires winning margin by 14 points I think.
No chance Salford will be letting up next week so Friday night will be one hell of a dogfight with some crazy twists and turns along the way. Just grateful Salford (whilst having a massive say in proceedings) aren't in danger of having the trapdoor pulled from beneath our feet....

Cheers for that
They don’t know everything but I hope they are about right.

| What a great story for RL if Salford somehow managed to pull off the impossible, and London to survive. I'm very nervous as a Wakefield fan about Friday, wasn't this nervous for the last 2 decoders, just have a bad feeling that we need Salford to do us a favour.

I seem to recall the famous Halifax v Fev game in the mid 80s that finished a draw. Halifax won the league and Fev avoided relegation. Legend has it that the ball never went further than 20 meters from the halfway line in last 20 minutes of the game.

Problem is that whilst a draw would be plenty for Trinity, London may actually need to win, pity though.
I hope that we have an electrician on hand to deal with any floodlight failure on 65 mins

| Wishing good luck to all four teams and supporters involved in tonight’s relegation decider.
Hope it’s a fair and square outcome and not mired in controversy and poor officiating.

Bound to be some twists and turns as the games unfold.
Most of the neutrals will be wanting London to stay up, which as long as Trinity do, I'll be happy.
Maybe a Catalonian surprise awaits Huddersfield
Come on Trin !
