Difficult two games. We might be able to snatch second but let's be honest playing Wire away is the same as playing them at our place i.e. we win.

You had to say it didn't you!

Time to tempt the Gods.

Nothing can go wrong now!

I'm sure that will make very good sig material for some Wire fans.

I'd rather get one more crack and try beating you before KR falls down.

I can see you beating Crusaders and then Cas, I can see Wire maybe lose one at Quins.

Plus you get a week off and Wire dosen't get a break until the Grand Final if we go all the way.

So i think you have the advantage Tbh.

And just to give you Saints fans a bit of ammunition.




They shouldn't have closed the primary schools in the holidays.

Speaking of sig's, do you not have to change yours following the revelation that Wigan were kicked out of a cup competition in the 70's for fielding an illegible player?

Does this now make Wigan the original cheats?

No check your clubs history.

As I've just posted on your board, this guy is a wind up merchant - most sensible people can realise this and take no notice. 9 posts - all on your board.

Awesome attempt at telling tales though.

You tell us, you probably sad enough to know if off by heart.

I have noticed that Quins and Wire have to KO at the same time as us on Friday 3rd Sept. We will need to go flat out to hopefully get a good points difference.

Hopefully wont need it if Hull can do a job on Friday

Aye! a Danny Tickle penalty goal on full time would do us.

Looks like it's down to points difference now!

Im expecting 3rd now, cant see us putting the crusaders to the sword by 40-50 points which is what is required to stand a chance of coming 2nd

Ditto for me. All those tries we gave away just before halftime and fulltime over the course of the season have made clinching second a step too far IMO. Not to mention the two stupid tries we gave away last week.

Same.

No we don't, we need to beat them by 20 points and then put more on Cas than Wire do on Quins.

See you at the HJ

Hull somewhat disappointed me last night, I wasn't expecting them to win but they were poor especially considering Wire rested a couple and were clearly thinking of Wembley in the first half... they either put all the eggs into beating Leeds in two weeks to snatch 4th or they are really not particularly good.

The 12 points conceded last week look very expensive today and while Chair Maker has grossly exaggerated what we need to do to Celtic we do have to match or come close to last nights Wire scoreline to give ourselves a realistic chance going into the last week.

Not sure what to think of Harlequins its a bit of a dead rubber for them but in McDermotts last game in charge I can't see him wanting to go out with a wimper, either way we have to try and run up a cricket score against Cas which will hopefully make for a thrilling final game.

Spot on there with your post. If we beat Quins tomorrow we still have everything to play for to get second spot although it will take a monumental effort. We have put Cas to the sword before now - scoring 60 along the way but it is how many Wire post against Quins who seem to have hit a further bad patch. Let's hope they (Quins) want a Grand Finale in two weeks.

The Crusaders game is the decider for me. If we don't win by a cricket score (unlikely) then it's Dire for 2nd spot, unless they win the CC and then follow up with a hangover defeat against Quins.

Have I got this wrong ...dont we need to post more than 38 points to get our nose in front of wire going into the last game or is it 20 + ?

Difference was 2 in Dire favour up to last night. Think it's 22 after last night

Points difference is currently 20.

Due to the "unique" way the RFL is run, if we're tied on point difference, unlike almost every other sport that goes with points scored, effectively the rfl go with least points conceded, due to a ridiculous equation that promotes low scoring games
