Oh god. Another season of Salford in SL

Copy of my own post from HKR board.

Totally out enthused, and that’s totally unacceptable.

The qualifiers concept is a joke. I was happy Widnes got beat last night because they’re the team that should go down with them finishing bottom. Whilst we have never finished bottom we once again find ourselves scrappyimg to survive. I kinda hope we and Leeds go down together because that’s 20k fans lost to the top flight.

Beaten again by the club with the paper thin squad, no money, crowdfunding to make money and no fans when it really matters. They finish below us, but we look like we could go down... again.

The system rewards clubs that don’t aspire to be anything more than clubs that make up the numbers.

Only in Rugby League.

If the players cannot be enthused enough to beat Salford, why does that make the Qualifiers a bad comp? Still plenty of points to play for - could be worse, you could be in the Championship Shield!

It’s a bad concept because a team like Widnes can win 3 games out of 23 games all season and still stay in the top league when they’ve clearly been the worst team over the season. And last season too, when they should’ve gone also, as Hudds should have gone the season before and so on.

The game should have relegation. The season can still be very exciting towards the back end with one up, one down as it was for us in our maiden season. But relegation shouldn’t work like this.

Dismal night for us rovers fans.

Seems the Almighty is shining down on the Reds.

Yup. It was a repeat of the 2016 Million Pound Game which Salford snatched in a dramatic final.

What annoys me is teams playing sh173 all year then signing a load of “star” players from the NRL for the middle eights.

That didn’t work out well then did it Hudge?

It's a bad comp because it doesn't quite suit HKR. Obviously Mr Sheens isn't quite that good at polishing a t*rd is he?

If Hull KR go down, it’s only their own fault. Everyone knows the rules including the players. If you down tools at 23 rounds and don’t perform, just to blame the system, sorry no sympathy. Clearly matters to Salford more to stay in Super League.

It's the same as any sport... what happens on the pitch is what matters the most. I just don't understand your complaint. Fanbase does not win you games. Neither does what chairman you have. I don't know why some clubs feel they are entitled to top flight rugby.

There are 6 games left yet, plenty of points to play for. Some folk are talking as if KR and Widnes are already down. Yes they both lost at home but no doubt Salford, London and whichever other teams win their opening games will go on to lose at least one game later on (the other three round one winners could all go on to lose to KR). If you find yourself bottom three after 5 games then worry but not after one game, you could still end up top of the qualifiers.

Need any help picking those toys up? KR are more bitter than Leythers and that's going some.
