Still a big game despite our win at St Helens, we can really really cement our top 4 place and maybe cement playing Wigan in the Semis.

Any changes?

Out of interest. Would everyone rather play Leeds or Wigan?.... providing we make the top 4!

Top 4 just about guaranteed if we can win this.

Not bothered about playing Wigan or Leeds, either would need us to be at our best

But a win in this game would make it likely we finish top 4

should be a cracker, cas last chance saloon so wont be easy

carney v mcgilllvary is always a good one, jerry had him in his pocket last time

wigan or leeds away is a hard one to choose, we can win at both like in the past but id rather see a leeds v hudds grand final

so wigan for me in the semi (if we make it)

Wigan haven't lost at home for over a year- they aren't going to let it happen when they are 80 minutes from another grand final. Id rather go to shedingly- they did a number on us there last time- so we owe them one!

Either game a difficult one so Leeds due to the amount of success we've had there over the past few years (bar this season) and more chance of getting more than the usual taxi lot over there.

Leeds. For the ease of travelling fans.

If we win our remaining 4 games we could grab 2nd providing Wigan lose a couple.
However I think I'd rather play Leeds in the semi than Wigan if we are away from home.

id still prefer a leeds v giants grand final thats why i prefer to play wigan , we know they are both hard tasks but have to be to get to a final

leeds have been head and shoulders above every team this season

wigan havent lost at home all season (we should have beaten them though if we had been more ruthless but we still arent, saints game an example where we kept giving them chance after chance)

Wigan for the simple reason is we will have to drop points to end up 4th win all our games and we will be 2nd or 3rd and be going into the semi in fine form.

that's never helped us before

true

Definitely Wigan for me. The crowd at Headingley are as good as an extra man and don't hesitate in piling pressure on opposition players, the game will be difficult enough without that added into the mix.

same at most grounds, you only tend to hear the home fans when they are putting pressure on the referee to bail them out!

Didn't hear them at langtree park on Thursday - apart from the tramping of feet with 10 minutes to go....

i heard a bit of bleating after about 25 /65 minutes, other than that they didn't need to as Silverwood was doing Ok for them

anyway, back on topic, the cas game is a pretty crucial game IMO, win it and we are more or less sorted for the top 4, lose it and we are right in the mix to stay in it.
although nothing will be sorted, we need to win to give ourselves some breathing space.

just a shame it's on a weekday and not on a weekend, think there could have been potential for a 7,000+ crowd

Lets just beat Cas. This is a massive fixture, but due to the wonderful SKY I'll have to miss it. This game is so important, because if we lose then its proper game on for that forth place. Win and we've pretty much got top 4 sorted and its just were we finish. Focus on the win against Cas and worry about who we play in top 4 shoot out when it happens.

Shenton will probably be out due to a dislocated shoulder. That's a big loss for them.
Millington, gale and carney are the only players who really worry me-even though mcgilvary had the latter well beaten last time- his season seemed to really start there -how well he handled carney I think gave him a great boost.
We certainly have a pack that should more than match theirs. Need to think carefully about who starts- I think a strong bench will be too much for cas and could win us the game.

Looks like Carney is out now www.sportinglife.com/rugby-leagu ... ord-tigers

Could still be reinstated before squads are announced on Tuesday!
Will it work for or against us- either galvanise the cas team or unsettle them?

Carney won't be playing and has probably already played his last game for us.

Edit. Whilst it is rumour lets leave it in the gutter for soemone else on some one elses board although your poetry was good. Mick Edit

More likely to be on Jerry, rather the opposing him.
