makes next week very intresting now

not sure how interesting it is, mostly because theres about a one in 4 chance wakefield will turn up. And then only half a chance the team will come out of the changing rooms at half time. If u would like to donate a centre, namely ryan atkins that could be a hudge help

im not very optismistic, but come on wakefield anyway

With the injuries we have at the moment all three results are possible.

Saints hit 50

Saints win by 18 next week they take 2nd. Not likely but I think its a massive game for Warrington.

Is it?

Does it really matter were we play Saints in the play offs

How does that work with three games left after that?

Every Saints point ahead of you next week would bring your points diff down and theres up. So an 18 point lead would evaporate the current 36 points difference (they lead on points for). So too lose that game will make it harder for you. A win would seal 2nd for you. Big difference isn't it? Don't get me wrong I don't think its likely Saints will win by 18 or even win (more likely a Wire win) but it's a big chance for Saints now.

I know your record v Saints is pretty poor but the difference between a home game and an away game in the play offs is huge, apart from ironically us at Wigan, we seem to prefer playing away from home.

I mean how would a Saints win seal 2nd palce? If there are three games left after it with 12 points at stake?

Oh right I meant a win would seal 2nd for Warrington not Saints. I'll edit to make it clearer.

Ahh I get it now.

Only if Wire won all their subsequent matches. If Saints win all their remaining matches but Wire lose a couple then Saints would be second, whether or not we beat Wire next week. Wire can't rest easy for a while yet.

It makes a massive difference, the stats say it all

If if we were to beat you the gap would be 4 with only 6 up for grabs though.

Correct and our points difference would be higher if we beat them.

some wire fans are thick? next week is absolutly massive finishing 2nd is a must and we all know it and if we lose i just cant see us finishing 2nd as saints final 3 games are crusaders bradford and castleford they will win all 3 of them probably by big scores so yes we have to win next weekicon_smile.gif

Only one team has one the Grand Final after finishing outside the top two. Bradford in '05.

Why?

Different set up these days.

It's probabaly harder now.

cause 1 it means all games are at home 2 it means we will probably get a week off in the playoffs and 3 obviously we have a better chance as in the current systm the top 2 should make the final

Also if Leeds put Wigan out and we beat Saints i'm pretty sure we get the club call which could be an advantage. Although I might be wrong.

im nervous for next week, hope we can do it

You got more reward for being in the top 2 few years back
