The middle 8s would be a piece of cake for any superleague side next yr with Salford in the championship . The biggest threat would probably be London playing in some park'"
I just get that feeling it will be Hull KR for the drop

| I've got a feeling half of the Salford players would prefer to go down so that there contracts are ripped up allowing them to bail . Probably all signed elsewhere

| Should Hull KR stay up, I would expect to see them have a mass clear out.
I think one of their problems has been the fact that they have thrown a lot of money at 3 half backs, 2 in particular, and really kept their salary cap expenditure relatively low elsewhere, to stay within their budget and the cap.
Maybe some of the Salford players will be following Sheens.

Sheens announcing his move to KR, prior to the season ending, looks very unprofessional now.
It didn't look too clever at the time but, I suppose that Salford v KR (in the MPG)
perhaps seemed unlikely at the time but, as things have panned out, it really doesn't look good.
I know these guys are professional and all that but, just imagine if Salford consign KR to the Championship or if they are in front and then capitulate to give KR the win.
It's certainly going to end in tears but, at least they wont be our's !

i think Sheens has already said he has now pulled out of any further Salford input to avoid a conflict of interest.

| I know the game is do or die for most of the players, especially the fringe players with the talk of lively hoods if dropped to the championship but apparently it's not smooth sailing their also as a little bird told me that the Bulls players haven't been paid last months wages.

It's hard to know what the answer is.
There should be a means of promotion from the Championship into SL and nobody can argue that Leigh have earned their shot at the "big time".
However, the damage that is done to those clubs who over stretch themselves "chasing the dream" and to any club that gets relegated could be terminal.
IF the game is wanting to expand and the inclusion of Toulouse and Toronto suggest that it does, then, we should revert to some kind of franchise system which will at least bring stability to ALL clubs.
Ok, getting into the top flight may be more difficult but, at least nobody should overstretch themselves financially and if youth development was put somewhere near the top of criteria for being in SL, moving forward, this has to be good for the game.
We are faced with a strong possibility of Toulouse and Toronto pushing for a spot in SL over the next 2/3 years which will essentially relegate 2 of the heartland clubs and this issue needs thinking about and dealing with in advance of the 2 new clubs challenging for SL and not wait for a crisis to unfold.
Personally, I want KR to stay up (my Granddad played for them before WW2 came along) but I really fear for Salford if they go down and IF Koucash walks, they would be absolutely stuffed and nobody wants any club to go pop.

| Personally think Sheens is a total disgrace - so the week before his clubs (who paid him for a seasons work) are in the biggest game of the season he walks citing conflict of interest. So presumably any player who has signed for another club can in the following season can say to Mr Sheens as coach - sorry i can't play against that club - hmmm don't think he would take that as an excuse - until I read that I was marginally supporting Hull KR down i will be fully behind the devils .....

Aren't Bradford always late when it comes to paying wages though?

| I don't mind who wins the game, just relieved we aren't in it again and I can watch it without any pressure. If pushed I'd probably prefer KR to go down due to the comments of their chairman a few years ago after we played at their ground and there had been a few issues with the way the stewards were told to work and when questioned about it on the radio after the game the chairman said 'I don't care about the away fans" so I've not cared about him since then.
