Every higher placed side will win, though I would like to see Cas do Wigan, Huddersfield maintain their play-off duck and... hmm... yeah, Saints do Leeds at Old Trafford.

Not happening at the moment over at Belle Vue.

I did predict....


Come on Catalans.

2-22 now!

Gah, the Norris-worship prevalent on here of late has clearly clouded my judgement. Still, seeing as I gained now credit for my uncannily accurate predictions as to how the close of our season would play out, I accept no approbrium here.

2 from 3 for me then. Would have been 3 if Saints had not let me down, as usual.

Terrible display of refereeing from Ian Smith at Wigan has handed the Warriors a place in the next round. He let a few high shots go, but the sheer amount of laying on and messing around he let Wigan get away with was nothing short of disgraceful. I wouldn't blame Matterson one bit if he came out and slagged off the official.

It got comical the amount he let Wigan get away with. And the Wigan fans had the audacity to boo the ref for not giving one high shot against their player that wasn't even high.

So now we have...

Hudds v Catalans
Hull KR v Wigan

I'm going Hudds and Wigan.

As a Cas fan I thought Smith missed a few, but the speed of the game & the number of infirngements made that inevitable. As I predicted Cas' lack of professionalism let them down, something that has been apparent all season. They remind me of an amateur club who get wound up by the opposition & become intent on proving how hard they are, despite not having any enforcers.

I'll go with Hull KR and Hudds from that I think, and a total attendance from the two games of 14,575.....give or take a couple

Well sadly St Kilda beat the Bulldogs meaning they face Geelong (who were the victors over Collingwood) in the Grand Final at the MCG on Saturday.

Catalans and Wigan for mine.

I'd like, but think it might be a game too far.

Well, looking ok so far...

Huddersfield were shockingly bad tonight. Saying that, despite Catalans winning, if I had Club Call, I'd be picking them. They weren't anything special and Leeds would have absolutely killed them if they had as many penalties as Catalans gave away.

Yeah indeed, didn't see it, but am certain that Leeds will pick them now. And that they will now get paggered.

But you never know...

So the drought goes on for Huddersfield.

There is always the Carnegie Nines next year.

lol, how long is it now?

Giants think they are something they are not all of a sudden. They've been found out now, back to the for them next season. Any team that know how to blame will take them apart.

4000 for a playoff game, WTF is that about?

They could have won tonight though, but they tried to act hard and clearly they wen'rt hard enough.

Really embarrassing that that's all that turned up and unless I have hearing problems I heard booing at the end, not that there were that many left by the full time whistle. Catalans played Huddersfield at their own game tonight and made it look like men against boys.

Huddersfield Giants.. big match chokers

And they dropped the price by about 3 quid per adult.

Number of points

Firstly Isn't Fulton off back to Oz? it's a shame that the ban he should get for his cowardly act won't count over there.

Secondly that attendance was embarrassing.

Thirdly what a fantastic tackle on Sulthorpe by Bird shame Ganson cocked up royal and penalised him for offside when you could see on the replay he wasn;t nor was there anything wrong with the tackle

Fourth - 1 Try in 160 minutes of playoff football



Last and by no means least the 50 or so giants fans left in the ground booing them off after the best season they have had in Superleague. I bet Ken Davy is wondering why he bothered.

And this lot have the bare faced cheek to come on here taking the mickey out of us.


I'm not even going to start on the Ingerland chants

Best team in Yorkshire.

Its odd that such a big successful club on the up has struggled so much in the playoffs....

Wonder how much cash Davy took out of his own pocket (if that's legal) or how hard the club had to work to free up the cash to subsidise this years season tickets? It's a thankless task running one of the top teams isn't it?
