Stevo raises huge concern for Super League side

There is a lot of discussion about the sides at the bottom of the league at the moment and especially Hull FC.

Speaking on the Eddie and Stevo podcast, the latter has raised a big concern for the Black and Whites in the long term.

He said: “A lot of people perhaps don’t realise that there’s rumoured to be 19 or 20 players off contract at the end of the season. That could be a devastating blow where if they lose all those 20 players, where on earth are they going to substitute them?

“Where are they going to get those players from?  If you’re fighting in a relegation battle not many players will think to go because they might think there could be a risk that they’re not playing in Super League next year.”

Meanwhile, Eddie believes it is between Hull and Wakefield for the drop:

“We’ve got Hull and Wakefield seeming to be battling it out just now to avoid the big drop.”

Asked if newly promoted Leigh are already safe, Stevo said “I’d have to say yes. You look at the fact of will Wakefield have at least four wins throughout the season? That’s quite difficult to get those eight points on the league leader. It’s probably going to be a safe enough cushion to stay clear of maybe a fight back from Wakefield or the Black and Whites.”
