Toronto want get within 10 points of Leeds, you will beat Widnes, all 3 remaining super league sides will stay up automatically, hope London or Toulouse come up, both agave paid the dues nth lower leagues, Toronto will be another Celtic crusaders, Paris.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Leeds play their kids v Toronto if they beat Fax today? We are in a tricky situation now.How do you go 19-0 up and lose like that? I'm generally fairly positive but this smells of 2016 again

There’d be some be some big challenges to face up to, but as always some opportunities.

I don’t think there’d be an immediate meltdown, but there’d need to be a choice between trying to bounce back, and trying to reposition ourselves as a sustainable championship club in the medium term - ultimately, probably under a new board.

Cross that bridge, etc.

Leeds won't play their kids. The U19 Academy Grand Final is next Saturday, Wigan v Leeds.

Who would be daft enough to buy Rovers though? That's what I can't get passed

I did not know that. Thanks.. Off to pray for a Halifax miracle result now.

Well, ateotd, it is our club. If the current board decide their time is up and another set of benefactors don’t step forward, there is a supporters trust. A mothballed one, but even so.

It’d mean a radical restructuring and recalibration of ambitions, but the first objective has to be continuing to exist.

Without being blasé, as long as there’s interest there’ll be a club in one form or another. And if there isn’t the interest then there’s nowt that can be done anyway.

It’s worked for well over a century and we ain’t dead and buried yet!

Even if they just keep it close, it will help a little.

Well, as long as Salford beat Toulouse, which itself would be a mixed blessing.

This is how it will play out, we won't be in the MPG.
The fact that technically we could actually be automatically relegated going into the last round however is a shocking indictment of club management given our resources and squad. Awaits the Q & A with NH in the HDM to trot out the annual "aim to challenge" rhetoric.

I am so blazing angry with that shower yesterday,as I suppose many of us are, but I will be there next Sunday shouting my head off again, supporting my team once my anger has died down. The consequences of relegation could be horrible, back to the wilderness years. We have had some stinking luck again with injuries(again)and so have some other teams, but ours always seem to be to key personnel, but whats done is done.
We have to work on the belief that TWP will beat Leeds, and I suspect they will, for reasons already stated. That leaves one clear option to save our season without going into a probable nightmare MPG with half our team missing, and that is to beat a Widnes team who have no pressure and could sting us, by as big a score as possible and overturn a likely points difference.
Are this lot capable without cocking it up again, we will soon find out, but I am not confident anymore. They choked big style when it really mattered and spoilt some previous good results.
Yes, we have injuries, but 19 nil up! no excuses. Defence is shocking.
I have seen some horrendous collapses over the years, but this is one of the worst.
I will calm down eventually,but for now I am so fed up with the lot of them.
We are not dead yet, but the fat lady is clearing her throat.
Time this team got it,s act together and shut her up.
Come on Rovers, for all our sakes, turn up on Sunday and do what,s necessary.

I'd rejoin the RSG, haven't been a member since we go in SL

As I understand it, the RSG, fantastic as it is at what it does, doesn’t have the right legal standing to take ownership.

What they do have is excellent brand recognition, which the supporter’s trust struggled to replicate. Working together they could draw the fan base together. However, pulling a lot of people together initially can be easier than keeping them heading in the same direction.

It’s a worry for another day, but irrespective of survival or relegation in 2018, it is a day that might well come in the next few years.

As points diff(for /against)could be crucial, either I,m losing it(very possible) or Sky are useless.. Their league table has us on minus 13 and TWP on plus 17...a difference of 30 points against us...just done an add up...think I,m right that we are on plus 5..a difference of 12...30 would possibly be a killer.
Anyone else been sad like me and done an add up?
PS. see Leeds did what they had to...hope they turn up next week against TWP

Yeah, the BBC have the same mistake. They’ve added an extra 18 to our points against in error. They’re also reporting that Leeds have secured their place in SL which is technically inaccurate.

Edit, they’ve fixed the latter to ‘all but secured’.

The RFL site has it right

1 - Leeds 10pts PD +80
2 - Salford 8pts PD +109
3 - Toronto 8pts PD +17
4 - Hull KR 8pts PD + 5
5 - Toulouse 6pts PD 0
6 - London 6pts PD -10
