Leeds have confirmed that an the away team in the play off will be given 3k tickets. Capacity of 12.5k for the game.

Thought we only needed to give away team 10% of our tickets,So that's only 9,500 for us .Surely we can sell more than that for a semi-final......O wait.

Will Saints being 3k?

No but Hull will

Wouldn't mind playing them. Really strong record against them at Headingley and they've had a really demanding month.

Would leave Saints to go to Cas who are the only team to win at their ground this year.

Can you imagine the whinging and moaning if we got another Leeds - Saints GF.

Although very amusing and excellent fun for us all of us on this board, i really don't think it would be good for the game if we got a 'same old' final between two sides a mere shadow of themselves a decade ago.

I really want us to win the GF of course, but i hope Cas make the final from the other semi and if we win it beating them it will feel a little more worthy even if we have been a distance behind them all year. Beating an 'iffy' Saints or Wigan for that matter for the crown when finishing a mile behind the league leaders and not beating them in two years would make the victory a hollow one from my perspective when the dust had settled.

I get that view.

Might not be great for the game but after hearing all year about new teams challenging at the top upsetting the big boys and the established order we could very well end up with a playoff series containing all three of Leeds, Wigan and Saints

An all Yorkshire final would be good.

Leeds v Hull

Hi could anyone let me know if the semi final game is included in the season ticket package
Thanks

No it's not included, it's like a cup game.

What Him said. And if your season ticket is a seat, you've only got till Friday to make sure you get your usual one for the game.

I'm away and she wont take the hint....

Well this is Cas'' 19 man squad for their fixture against Hull (who will face us if they win)

18. Matt Cook
5. Greg Eden
27. Tuoyo Edogo
28. Conor Fitzsimmons
34. Alex Foster
25. Jy Hitchcox
23. Tom Holmes
33. Kevin Larroyer
8. Andy Lynch
22. Will Maher
12. Mike McMeeken
9. Paul McShane
2. Greg Minikin
21. Joel Monaghan
16. Ben Roberts
15. Jesse Sene-Lefao
19. Gadwin Springer
35. Jake Trueman
3. Jake Webster

No Hardaker, Holmes, Millington, Massey, Milner and Shenton. Moors and Gale still missing through injury.

Well, that's the reward that your able to achieve when you are light years ahead in a league season and not desperate for form or points.

If Hull can't take advantage of that line up with a near full squad and needing the points then they don't deserve a play off berth.

Should really be Hull and Saints cruising this weekend with what is on the line for them as opposed to the their opposition. Wigan missed the boat on Sunday

Hull have looked to be running on empty the last few times i've seen them.

Last week they were appalling in the first half and Wakefield should have been light years ahead but like against Saints they tried to shut up shop with far too long to go. Preceeded by a loss against a poor Wigan side in not great form, and relatively comfortable losses against us and huddersfield either side of the cup final.

We have beaten them 3 of 4 times this year, 2 relatively easily, but were completely outclassed in the semi.

They almost beat Wigan with 12 men.

Hull seem to be learning to peak when it matters. in the cup anyway, and that is a good trait to learn. We will see if they have learnt from last years experience of the play offs for this year from this weekend now where it is virtual sudden death from this Cas away game onwards. I expect they will win, and it will be a very tough task for us against them in the Semi.

my new contracts manager is related to a hull player. he said they were 'bloody lucky' to beat wakefield and they haven't much left in the tank

That will not happen now Cas have dropped 6 players for the game

Cas clearly want Hull to finish 3rd and Saints 4th. Can't really blame them, Saints have looked average at best.

True and you can't fault their effort against us so soon after the cup final. Admirable efforts post Wembley but those 2 games plus Wembley and plus having to claw their way to victory over Wakey I think they won't have enough left in them.

Cas' squad this week improves Hull's chances but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a close game.

Hull clearly have a huge confidence in the cup nowadays from finally winning at Wembley last year but still a big question mark if that translates to the playoffs. Leeds and Warrington around 2009-2012 had differing successes in both competitions, they could nail one but not the other.

Mr Powell is not overly keen on Mr Wane,. Cas may still have too much for Hull though if they get a fair share of ball. Funny old year though, trying to predict anything this year is a lottery

Saints are a different proposition now they have dumped that useless lump of lard at 7, put Barba at FB & Lomax & that young kid in the halves.
