Cant understand clowns wanting a strong team out sunday, its a totally meaningless game & as folk have said we will have 2 days less to prepare for whoever we play. Play off = knockout rugby so I cant see anything sensible at all in playing any player needed for the PO game.
Got a couple of injuries to the U19s lads but at the very least we should be debuting Sonny Esslemont. Tyler Hepi and Arron Ollet should play along with Chris Heil. IMO of course.

Every game is important if I want to watch the 19s I will go to a 19s match we could save the players to give it a go in the first playoff game but you know we will get hammered the week after I would play the strongest team every game

Aye, got to manage the squad. It's a shame, as a winning season would be nice and if we end on 3 losses in a row, some'll tag that on to the counting if we start next year slowly.
The bigger problem is how constrained we'll be by injuries. I suspect more than is ideal will have to back up.

It'd be an idea to switch the last game of 2014, if it is at home, just in case. Though sod's law, then we'd probably need a win, having played rnd 26 on the previous Sunday. Something to be said for Saturday as match day, maybe?

Even if we reached a Challenge Cup final, for example? The week before it, I mean.

If we play on the play-off game on Saturday, then there's a case for trying to build momentum and confidence.

If it is the Thursday, it is barely even a choice. Unfortunately.

Even the RFL are classing our game a dead rubber and giving the inexperienced ref a SL gig.
Tells you somat that.

Yes he can.

Just in case you forgot, or never saw it, he made a huge mistake right in front of his eyes in Manchester 2012. So we are even on that score.

Personally, I don't think he actually worries about what decision he gives.

Warrington already selling tickets for one of the Saturday slots and surely the other Saturday game will be Catalans.

I wouldn't take touch notice about what Warrington are doing as they were advertising challenge cup final tickets week befor the semi !

From what I understand it will be ......

Huds at home on thurs
Hull (if we finish 5th or 6th) Friday if not it will be Warrington
On sat it will be the other 2 games be it saints cats or Warrington depending on final league positions and what game is played on friday

Important: Play-Off Ticket Information

Warrington Wolves secured second spot on Friday night with their win over St Helens guaranteeing a home tie in the opening round of the play-offs.

The Wolves will host their first play-off fixture at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday 14th September, kick-off 3pm.

The team will face the winners of Thursday night's Round 27 fixture between Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos.

Match tickets will go on sale exclusively to 2013 Season Ticket Holders from 12pm today (Tuesday 3rd Sept)

All the fixtures and every possibility have already been agreed by sky.

[iHuddersfield Giants can confirm that their Super League Qualifying Play-off against the fourth placed team will take place at the John Smith’s Stadium on Thursday 12th September with an 8pm kick off.[/i

So that's Warrington one of the Saturday slots & Huddersfield Thursday.

If Catalans have a home tie surely they will be the other Saturday slot which would mean Rovers play Friday.

Nailed on that rovers are Friday game IMO now! Saints vs rovers would be favoured to be the Friday game over dullers vs Catalan and the hull derby would be favoured for the Friday game over saints vs Catalan

smailes tweeted if we beat saints, we play rovers on Friday night, same if warrington beat catalan, if we lose and catalan win, we play Saturday teatime, you play saints Friday night

Looks like Friday either way, so those of you that work should be cheering for us this Friday

Should, but won't Come on you Saints. I fancy a Friday night dash from work to Merseyside. Its safer than Analby Road

nice one Stan

Hard game next week for Rovers. Saints appear to have had the weekend off so will be fresh!

Nice one Stan
