Presuming us and Hudds lose in week 1, then we'll be the highest placed loser, which means we'll play the lowest ranked winner of the games between the bottom four. So if Leeds and Cats win it'll be Cats. If Hull beat Leeds it'll be them.

Did Leeds finish above Catalan?

Yes, believe it or not! Leeds in 5th, the Dragons in 6th.

Quote ="St pete"Did Leeds finish above Catalan?'" Aye. Beat Hudds this afternoon. www.skysports.com/rugbyleague/ma ... 32,00.html

They will be outsiders in play offs

If both wolves and pies win in week one, do they get week two off or do the play the first semi final?

Yep, week 2 is eliminators, losers from the top 4 games v winners of the bottom 4 games.

Plus Warrington will get the clubcall if that happens.

So week two IMO will be saints v Cats and hudds v Leeds.

Warrington only get the club call if they win their first match. If they don't then it's the next highest placed club who won their first match who gets the club call.

Or is that what you meant?

Can't see Hull troubling Leeds although I wouldn't rule out a Rovers win over Catalans. Catalans could pose a threat to us if we end up playing them but I would be confident of us beating Rovers.

Wire, Catalans, Saints and Leeds to win this week.

If Saints win the first play-off then we would get a week off and a home tie in the next play-off. Wigan would then lose the week off. Why Wigan and Saints fans are saying they don't mind losing the first play-off is beyond me. If we beat Wigan then Wigan would have to come to 'our' ground for the re-match (providing they won the second weeks play-off game).

What are the odds on saints being highest placed winner from round 1 and getting club call?

Extremely remote.

So remote, in fact, that I can't see it with the strongest telescope available.

Should we sell out the North Stand for this game?

Can we sell it out?

Thoughts.

We should and we can but I wont be going as I wont be back from coventry in time, off to a Pie eaters wedding

Why is there a £1 difference between Saints tickets in the North stand and the South stand?

Its a donation to the mentally challenged folk that inhabit Wigan.

Inhibit or inhabit?

The right one! Irony!
Best get that changed!

Well the squads have been announced, can't see that anyone else has bothered to post it yet, so thought I would. =#FF0000(opps just seen it on the Wheeler thread)

All the talk of Wheeler is academic as he is injured AGAIN.

the squad is:

1. Paul Wellens, 3. Michael Shenton, 4. Sia Soliola, 5. Francis Meli, 9. James Roby, 10. James Graham, 11. Tony Puletua, 12. Jon Wilkin, 14. Scott Moore, 15. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 16. Paul Clough, 18. Matty Ashurst, 19. Andrew Dixon, 20. Jonny Lomax, 22. Jamie Foster, 24. Tom Armstrong, 25. Lee Gaskell, 28. Tom Makinson, 29. Scott Hale.
Michael Maguire, Wigan Head Coach, will choose from:

1. Sam Tomkins, 2. Darrell Goulding, 4. George Carmont, 5. Pat Richards, 6. Paul Deacon, 7. Thomas Leuluai, 9. Michael McIlorum, 10. Andy Coley, 11. Harrison Hansen, 12. Joel Tomkins, 13. Sean O'Loughlin, 14. Paul Prescott, 15. Jeff Lima, 16. Ryan Hoffman, 17. Brett Finch, 21. Lee Mossop, 22. Liam Farrell, 25. Josh Charnley, 35. Ben Cross.

The match kicks off at 2.45pm and the referee is Phil Bentham.

Given the line up unless we have thrown injured players into that line up it kinda picks it's self..

1. Paul Wellens,
28. Tom Makinson
3. Michael Shenton,
5. Francis Meli,
22. Jamie Foster
20. Jonny Lomax
25. Lee Gaskell
11. Tony Puletua
9. James Roby,
10. James Graham, ,
4. Sia Soliola,
14. Scott Moore
12. Jon Wilkin,

15. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook,
16. Paul Clough,
18. Matty Ashurst,
19. Andrew Dixon, , ,

To miss out

24. Tom Armstrong, , , 29. Scott Hale.

Royston could shove Puletua at loose which would give us a strong start, but I still think 2 props replaced by 2 props is the ideal and Wilkin at Loose.

Moore gives us plenty of aggression along side Sia, so for me it's our best starting line up from the squad.

£1 means a lot too in Wigoon especially after the recent financial downturn. I don't know if you've heard but their economy has ground to a halt following the death of the local manor lord's donkey.

Last time i looked you made a very big loss and we made a decent profit that is not including the 1.5mill we made off the cc final
