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

The points shipped against Halifax look very costly now?Ok,in game Injuries were a factor but we got well clear then fell off.Similar pattern in all our wins and that's got to be down to attitude and fitness and it came home to roost in Toulose.The players taking the pitch should have had enough to get the job done but showed a soft underbelly that goes back to Morgan leaving. Yes it's been a long hard season and we have had more injuries and lost a full back division Add in being newly promoted and this crazy middle8 roller coaster and mitigating circumstances abound but we should be sat at least plus 30 on points diff and put the French away.The Salford non performance was balanced somewhat by sneaking win at Leeds.All should be well with a thumping win v Widnes.Signing Hauraki may be our trump card as he won't want to send next year's employer down the gurgler?

A nervous week ahead that's for sure, either way I'll be there next season supporting the only club I've ever loved. Hopefully the club can make the changes needed and not just churn out useless politician speak JP and Smith seem to be good at. I also hope the powers that be come out and apologise to the fans Monday morning...

Sheens signings this year in general have been bang average and to top it all our last signing is todd carney as our saviour,no wonder we are in trouble.

If Leeds lose against Toronto we could end up with the top 4 all on 10 points.

Salford at home to Toulouse isn't quite a must win but they could end up in the MPG otherwise.

Leeds are safe unless Toronto hammer them by 60 or something which is highly doubtful. Are they willing to risk youngsters for that game?

Salford might end up in the MPG if they lose however Hastings is back.

We lose against Widnes by any margin and we could still be auto relegated.

Someone said something to me yesterday that is interesting. With only one promotion spot, would Widnes want us in the Championship with them next season?

I don,t expect Widnes to simply lie down, they will come to fight and win. Also don,t think they will be too bothered about us going down either, because if we do, who knows what team we would have left. The stuffing would be knocked out of us initially and no guarantees that whatever team we have left would be good enough to get us up again.
However, we all have our views, mine is that Salford will beat Toulouse and be safe. That leaves one automatic place left. Not sure about Leeds, but think they are safe regardless, and that could go either way, but TWP will be mega fired up, I would be.
London will beat Halifax by a good score and be in the MPG, and we will either go up automatically or play London in the MPG(gulp) Home or away will depend on points diff. At the moment we have 15 points on them, but expect them to rack up some points against Halifax and probably claw them back.
Best result for us, Leeds win, we win,job done. If TWP win, we have to win and better their total points difference,at the moment we are down by 12 plus any more they gain by a possible win, that would take some doing, but would also be job done. Anything else probable MPG.
If Toulouse win, who knows.
Be a kick in the guts if we go down again finishing 10th. Hate these stupid qualifiers.

If Salford win, TWP ‘only’ have to beat Leeds by 32 for the Rhinos to look slightly nervously at Widnes’ level of motivation.

Realistically, I think Salford will secure their place in SL on Thursday. Toulouse are 3-0 at home, but 0-3 away in the qualifiers.

Anything could happen at Leeds, but i’d be a little surprised if TWP won by more than a couple of scores.

We could be effectively in the MPG before we even kick-off. Or, theoretically, we could be more or less safe.

Only us could go into the last week with a chance of finishing top or getting relegated the only good thing is the games are spread out and we’re last so once again we have to beat Widnes for our place in SL don’t know what frame of mind they will be in there fans aren’t happy they were out on the lash in Toronto

Win or draw against Widnes will mean MPG at home at worst.

I am not predicting anything on the basis of the round 6 results.

Loving it

Well done Chumlee. No one likes you on your own forum and they certainly don't here. We should be fine. Enjoyed your perfect 10?
