I agree mossdale, however I'm being positive tonight!! It's better to learn tonight and win closely as opposed to not learning and Losing next week!!!! My point is; maybe a closely fought victory is better for us in the long run as opposed to an easy victory concluded after 65mins.... Winning yet being disappointed with defence is a good mentality!

Drop Webb (ha can't catch or pass backwards) and play BJB at Fullback, then Hardaker on the wing with Watkins and Ablett in the Centres and Delaney back into the second row with JJB.

Sometimes its better to travel hopefully rather than actually arrive at your destination. Our end of season form is a vast improvement on what was on offer earlier, and whilst great to watch, I think we are still a little bit off the pace to be confident of a Grand Final win.

A Grand Final appearance may possibly be our best bet, and one that looked a million miles away mid season.

The hard truth is that to get to Old Trafford, we are going to have to do something that we have not managed thus far this year, which is put in a massive 80 minute performance against either Wire or Saints away from home. If we concentrate for 80 minutes and dont drop off like we did at the end last night, it is possible, but anything short of that level of performance and we'll probably end up disappointed. Our best bet would be, as has probably been already mentioned, a Catalan win at Wigan, which could well see us at Saints rather than Wire, (their choice permitting of course!), but even a trip away to a young St Helens side, would still need the massive effort mentioned above!

The +'s far out weigh the -'s imo but as has been posted we need a complete 80 minutes performance to compete with Wire and ST's.
What i will add is we know we can play better and are still only 80minutes away from O/T which is a huge improvement on our early season form and inept efforts against the top 4 prior to the CC.
I think Wire are too strong but i do honestly think we can take Wigan or ST's so the key is the Dragons beating the Pies and we end up at the scousers.

Brown's chokers choked. Obviously.

Now down to the real business.

However it pans out I would love another crack at Wigan.
