Yes, Wakefield v Cas is 20th August

Before then the fixtures are

Cas
Warrington H
Saints A
Leigh H
Hull FC A
Hull KR A
Huddersfield H

Wakefield
Hull KR A
Salford H
Wigan H
Huddersfield A
Warrington H
Hull FC A

I'd say Wakey have the favourable run there so it could get very interesting.

I agree although , of the two sets of fixture lists, still think Wakey may struggle to get a win, even if Huddersfield continue with their wretched form, although they may fancy a crack at the Robins, given their once in a generation , injury crisis , which has never ever affected any other SL club, ever.
Could get down to a 2 point deficit by the time they play Cas, so very spicey clash, potentially. That said, wouldn't really like to see either team go down as I'd fear a Widnes / Bradford type of exile from topflight RL for both.

Little point losing either Wakefield or Castleford if they are succeeded by Featherstone
Hope Toulouse can put some form together

Are we safe yet?

Shows the extent of the turnaround under Smith, we've gone from worrying about relegation to planning our assault on the top 6

Bradford have made some very good championship signings, could they challenge Fev for SL?

It's pretty open the Championship. London have picked up form and signed some decent players too. Toulouse are playing better.

Still think Fev are the favourites, but wouldn't be surprised to see them lose out

Re: Relegation Dogfight : Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:33 pm  

The recruitment of both Cas and Wakey shows why relegation doesn't work in SL, makes clubs panic and be short sighted.

Re: Relegation Dogfight : Tue Jul 25, 2023 1:41 pm  

That’s why I think there should be a Transfer window and all other signings around that need to because of extenuating circumstances and approved by SL

Be careful, last Wembley appearance was against a team with Le, as the first two letters of their name and despite Kieran Dixon's best efforts , they only managed to score 50 points.
