I think we can be 99.9% sure Sky will show this one.

The broadcast slots they are doing for that weekend are...

Saturday 3rd Sept 5:45pm
Sunday 4th Sept 1:00pm

Hard to speculate which games at that time will be most vital but bringing the kick off forward 2 hours seems most likely for us.

It definetly isn't going to Friday Night anyway as I said the other day in another thread.

Sky don't have to confirm anything though until 22nd August.

As messy as it will be, I do hope it's on the Saturday night.

They'll definitely show it.

It'll probably be the title decider game depending on how we both go until then

And my Wire fan friends have it as a banker for them already

My wire fan mates have said that we'll win, and they said we'd win the QF so fingers crossed!

Hope yours are right and mine are wrong then!

Saturday would be awesome.

It bloody wouldn't, ive just started a new job and asked for the sunday off, if it gets changed the chances are I won't be going!

Praying it's saturday. 1pm would give us only about 4 hours drinking time, gonna need more than that for how nervous I'm gonna be.

Fingers crossed for Sunday. Got a lads night out in Scarborough Saturday.

Open up your house to a 6am, bring your own tins, start you tight get!

Saturday would be better for Sky, Big match to keep the punters in the pub or sat @ home

Match is week after Wembley - if we have triumphed in the final we will get hammered at Warrington.

Might not matter, Wire play the Catalans away the game before.

Anyway lets not get ahead of ourselves this Saturday is the important one at the moment

They also play Hull in their last game of the season away from home. Looking at the table and the fixtures to come, I reckon Hull will have to win that game to make the play-offs. They have beaten wire already.

We should win all our league games appart from warrington, I don't think we will have any problems. Wire could struggle against the other teams they have to play.

Maybe wakey can bounce back and put in a huge performance at the HJ as well

It doesn't really matter what day or time, it will sell out.

Anyway most companies won't suspect anything if you plan ahead, call in Thursday, "boss i ate some dodgy shellfish and now i'm p*ssing out my backside, i'll be back Tuesday (monday being alcohol recovery day) please pray for me"

simples

I always do. Kind of a last resort for you wire fans.

I'm already off that day and best of all, i'm on call in 2 weeks which means 10 weeks till i'm on call again, meaning i'm definitely off.

Can't wait as well. I haven't got a wire season ticket so me and others in the same position are going to try and sort some tickets out this weekend.
Good luck for the semi. I hope you get to the final to give us a better chance!! Looking forward to the semi as well. Saints have pryce back and
I think he'll make a few things tick. Saints' pack were excellent v us and I'm looking forward to a great battle. I don't think it'll be as easy as
last time at the stobard stadium but i think you'll pip it with no more than 4/5/6 points in it.

I am not sure about this one. I think the balance of power has tilted in the direction of Wigan now. In fairness to Wigan, despite most of this season Warrington being the 'in form' team and Wigan sometimes struggling to hit their best, Wigan have stayed on top of the league and that combined with knocking us out of the cup IMO says something, Wigan are a slightly better team than we are.

However I do think if Wigan win at Wembley the emotional ride will mean it is difficult to focus on a big game like Warrington away and in that situation I think we will win that game. If we are consistent against other teams (like we did a professional job against Bradford) then I think if Wigan win the Challenge Cup we will finish top of the ladder.

I am hopeful but not confident that we will make the Grand Final, but if we do and it is against Wigan, even though I think Wigan are a slightly better team than we are, I think if Briers plays we have got a good chance, our record in recent games against Wigan has generally been good, so I don't fear Wigan in the way that I used to fear Saints.

Good post SC, can't disagree with any of that. What I would say though is I believe right from the off this season Wigan's focus has been on the CC, at the start of the season they were determined to win it EVEN if that meant not retaining the SL title. Maguire wants to go home having won both. If we win the CC he will undoubtedly want to push on to do the double and that will present a real challenge to the club, especially given that Wire and possibly stains will be standing in the way.

Not under this regime. The party will be over with on the Sunday and back in training fully focused Monday.
