Saints and Leeds have the home ties now

Saints get 1st choice outta nexts weeks winners, you get the other

So really its Saints v warrington, Leeds v Wigan again 2 weeks after the same fixtures. What's the point of top 8 again?

That's a very good question.

I was hoping we could have had you lot at KR for our Big Sendoff Night! Alas. We might have to beat Warrington again. How dull!

So all been said, all those extra games Wigan won mean sweet FA now

Leeds will play on Saturday 25th September.
Saints on Friday 24th.

No!!! No,no,no,no,no,no,no!!!!!!!

We play better away from home anyway

Who do you think you are?

Don Logan?

Do you actually know anything?

First your unsure of pitch measurements and now have no clue of the playoff system.

Terrible format.

Wigan finish clear at the top, lose one game and now have to win away to make the Grand Final and that's only if they win next week first.

At least in 2005 St Helens had to lose two at home to not reach the Grand Final.

Agreed.

Should have stuck with the Top 6 format, though I'd prefer Top 5.

it just gives teams outside the top 2 much more of a sniff, that's why they changed it. too many 1st v 2nd grand finals.

wigan surrendered home advantage for the semi (if they get there) by losing tonight.

This formatt requires the top team to have just abit more playoff metal which is a good thing.

Must be getting bitter with age, because after the dissappointment of the CCF, i'm very amused us winning could have effectively sent Warrington back to knowsley road for Saints last ever game there. Good luck lads

Nope, it's an embarrassing Mickey Mouse format with a Donald Duck club call thrown in for good measure.

I'm underwhelmed at the prospect of repeat fixtures between Saints/Warrington and Leeds/Wigan too.

You're counting some chickens there. Think HKR will have alot to say about that.

Wigan have lost 4 of their last 6 matches at the DW Stadium.

Hull KR have won 3 of the 5 games played at the DW Stadium since their introduction into SL. Wigan hold the upper hand in the SL Regular Rounds and SL Play-Offs V Hull KR though 6 to 4, including winning their 4 most recent meetings.

Could be good this.

I've not seen a coach V Leeds under that much pressure at half-time since Daniel Anderson at the Grand Final in 2008 and like Anderson, Maguire's men also went on to lose.

Think that Hudds and KR will provide very tough opposition next week. We can sit back and watch them kick lumps out of each other with our feet up.

The play-off system is a bit of a joke, as if it goes to form, its the same games in week 3 as week 1. However, we didn't see it last year due to Hudds & KR imploding. Maybe the same could happen this year.

I said exactly the same to a work mate of mine, and then as i did last night thought we would go on to win the game.

I hope i'm wrong but I have a sneaky feeling that the winner of the GF will come from this next weekends round of matches

There are six teams left in it.

I have a sneaky feeling one of them will end up Champions.

Before the play-offs began I thought five teams had a shot at it, after Hull KR's performance at the KC I've upped it to six.
