What a cracking match.......and it's back in Leeds' hands now. Let's hope they have enough of a rest with Sinfield okay, Burrow back and enough left to raise it for the next 3? matches

3 wins and the treble is ours.

Sure it's not looking great given our recent form but I wouldn't back against this lot doing it.

I would! It would certainly cushion the blow if Leeds don't manage it, which seems most likely on recent form.

We still need to beat Hudds which will be a massive task given how knackered we look. Delaney and Sinny seemed Injured? .

Who do Wigan play ? Cas ? Let's hope they have a good game too

We may look knackered but that game tonight has got to have taken something out of both sides. Great stuff, pray we can capitalise.

How did Huddersfield vs hull go ? Hope they bashed each other lol

We need to turn up in our thousands next week, no reason why we should not take 4 to 5k, outnumber the home fans and make it a wall of noise. 8 days rest hopefully Burrows back and Sinny makes it too. Suddenly feeling a bit better!

At last a bit of luck.

We are not a bit of luck! We are Sintellins you cheeky bleeder. We're on the same Wigan non-loving page though

Walsh is coming good for you at the right time.....and what a defensive effort! How many drop outs did you defend? Makin's tackle was 'Hardaker like'. Brilliant.

Leeds look shagged and out of it....hope we can raise it for the run in, but if not I'd like Huddersfield to win the GF.

Either way, as long as it's not Wigan (or Leeds been stuffed in the final) I'll be happy.

Yes you are ,by that I mean we are both on the same page

Well that's put the cat in the middle of s flock of pigeons.

Guess this is quite a good outcome for the RFL, top 4 could have been a little less secure but all to play for last game with regards momentum, home advantage and LLS bragging g rites.

The Leeds forwards have had a pretty dismal recovery schedule since the cup final. Not surprising (that at their collective age) they are in need of a proper prep week. And now they have it. No round trip to France, no short turnaround.
Let's see if the conditioning team can turn things around and our coach can get some mental energy into the guys.
All in our hands still.

I don't know how Wigan keep putting in those performances, one of the weakest Wigan teams I can remember.

They are awful. So little skill which they try to compensate for with tactics in the tackle from the early 80's.
Still they could kid end up winning it if we can't find a solution at 9 and re-charge our vintage pack.

In terms of the LLS it looks a lot rosier. Am I alone in thinking in 90 minutes the pressure's been lifted from Leeds and now lies squarely on Huddersfield's shoulders?

Not really because if Wigan win they can't win it anyway - the chances of Wigan losing at home are slim.

The pressure is really on Leeds - if they lose they will finish 4th and an away game at Wigan, win and they will have a home game against the Giants.

If the pressure isn't on you are not going to win anything.

So a win away and at home against the Giants and a win at OT against Wigan and we win the treble.
Simple.
Or we lose away to the Giants and get thumped away to Wigan and we win the CC again this year.

Not sure I agree. Firstly, the Leeds - Hudds game is played at the same time as Wigan's. I don't see how Hudds can now see it as anything but a must-win game, regardless of what wigan do. Until this weekend's results, they've not been in striking distance. They sure as hell are now. Conversely, Leeds' must-win game was on Thursday. I think the fact that we've been thrown a - somewhat undeserved - lifeline might just galvanise us. Optimistic maybe; if we don't improve massively we're toast. But I reckon that some of the uncertainty that's popped up in our game may just become a thing of the past. Anyway, we'll know soon enough.

And with regard to the two scenarios above, if we lose and get wigan away I think we'll be focked mentally anyway. But should we win at hudds would you really back us to then fall to them at home a week later? Don't see it myself.

What performances? We weren't exactly amazing last night.

It's their home record that's given them a shot at LLS. If you can go the full season without losing a single home game then you're always going to put yourself in contention. That's probably why it's most vital for them next week not to slip up vs Cas and find themselves away from the DW.

At the same time it makes it all the less likely that they will slip up.
Until Old Trafford, at least

Indeed.

Possibly but whilst they've been winning at home the winning margins have been tight since their mid-season break from the DW whilst it was being relaid.

Hull by 6
Hudds by 8
Widnes by 10
Leeds by 2
Salford by 7

Average of just over 6.5 points, potential for Cas to win if they produce in attack like we know they can.

Wigan will not give them space we gave them - their defence is far more energetic than ours.

Cas will not lie down but realistically you can't see them beating Wigan at Wigan in a game Wigan are desperate to win
