so am i right in thinking, if cas beat celtic and we beat hudds then its catalans, if we lose and cas win its cas. I wud personally prefer cas at home than catalans !!!

At half time when they were saying who'd make it in, and Stevo just went "What about Warrington Eddie?"

His reply was fantastically awkward

Wakefield must get a better result than us in their last match (i.e get more league points) or we finish 5th as our PD is much better. If we draw or lose we will finish 6th should Wakefield do better against Hull KR.

Castleford should win and get 7th so we will play Catalans unless we get a worse result than Wakefield.

Did he mention the " Saints Saunter "

Apparently according to the preview at the top there is a far shorter turnaround in matches finishing 6th when compared to 5th. Also my understanding is that the highest placed winner of the matches played between 5-8 plays the lowest placed loser of the matches played between 1-4.

Therefore if Hull KR or Hudds were to upset one of Leeds or Saints then we would go to them if we finish 5th and Wakefield/Cas would go to one of the big 2.

Having said all that I think in a one off contest Catalans is a far tougher proposition than Castleford. I would say us against the French is a 50/50 call.

I have said all this season..the saints we have seen this last 10 years are dying.

if cas fancy going to wakey rather than wigan , they might do a saints and not bother turning up.

cant be d looking at fixtures, but when do wakey play?

still a lot of ifs, buts and maybes, andd another case for playing last round of games at the same time.

Was KR packed to the rafters ( rusting rafters ) tonight ?

Im sure Wire fans will be there cheering on the Dragons (CC Semi)

Nope they aren't.

They're dead already!

I'd rather play Saints than Catalan.

They have the best pack in Superleague.

Wouldn't have to if you'd got in the play offs. Still, year of the wolf and all that



To be fair, I'd rather have cats at home than anybody esle. Sure, they pulled off a good result tonight but their away form isn't too great over all.

They have a big pack but the best? Not a chance.

Wheather it's Cas or Catalans we should be beating them with home advantage and if we can't we don't derserve to progress.

Thats knock-out for you



We have proved this season that we can beat anyone on our day, and with the way we have finished the final two seasons we have every reason to be excited and optimistic about the play-offs.

Well for the last 2 seasons we've had Bradford away followed by Hull away in 2007 and then in 2008 Bradford on basically a neutral venue followed by a trip to a very hot Franch to play Catalans so a home game against Cas/Cats followed by a trip to more then likely Hudds/HKR shouldn't hold many fears.

I'm not counting my chickens by any means and we'll be underdogs if we make it through to week 2 but like you say we've shown we can beat anybody.

Looking forward to it.

The only thing that worries me about Catalan is it being a tough game. There could be some sore bodies the next week.

They've got some big nasty beggers haven't they in Ferriol, Elima and Fakir and we're down on bodies as it is but everybody will be getting tough games in these play offs.

Imagine if Leeds play Saints again at some point

That would be an absolute cracker!

:bll6p5i8

Careful he might drop it.

He's waving at the wrong fans

Wigan are my darkhorses for the GF, although Leeds will win it.

Spot on my good man, as our trophy haul for the year shows.

I honestly didn't understand a word of the post, bloody trolls.
