Wakey probably safe by points difference alone.

How do you work that one out?
Only two points in front of London, same points as giants and Kr. All those can finish above wakey on competition points regardless of points difference.

Win or lose. London will be a tougher test for KR than Catalans were.

If London beat Hull KR and Wakefield, both away games, then London can still survive in Super League. Tall order I know. But it is still a mathematical possibility, especially if Wakefield loses to Warrington next week, which is likely.

There's one thing which is likely, Jean. The next two teams to play Catalans are on for an easy two points.

London can win both games, of that there's no doubt, but the reality is they won't. If the lose to HKR then they are done because the +/- is now 62 points behind HKR, and over a hundred in terms of Wakey and Huddersfield. If they defeat HKR, it will make for a very edgy final day, but Wakefield owe us for the 2 games we beat them this year.
It's a shame, but it's sport and London will be a competitive side in the 2nd tier next year, whilst Toronto, (if they don't bottle it) being out of the championship will make it a better competition it

If Rovers win ne t wkend then we're safe, but for Wakey and Huddersfield it might be far from over. And may lead, as many Wakey fans feared, to the Wakey/London game being a Million Pound game.

If we lose on Friday, everything is still wide open.

If you win on Friday then giants and wakey are safe and London are down- - no way are London going to turn over a hundred points difference!

Depends if Warry or Saints go to town next weekend as well - which after bad performances this weekend, they might.

It would be in the best interests of Wakey and Hudds if Rovers beat London on Friday. That would, apart from a complete collapse in the remaining games from Hudds and Wakey, relegate London and make them and Rovers safe.

As Jools suggested, if you beat London this weekend, barring some crazy cricket scores, the relegation battle is done.
If London beat you, especially be a significant margin, KR would be left trying to gain points at Salford and good luck with that.

I'd be delighted if KR won by plenty though.

Trinity have shown some improvement of late and will fancy getting the job done against London and possibly getting something at Warrington, although they will be desperate for the "W", to make sure that they are in the play offs.
Huddersfield, by beating your nearest and dearest should be safe as they have Catalan for their last fixture, which, at the moment is a "gimmie"
