Are we peaking at the right time? Could we win the playoffs? : Sun Sep 18, 2011 3:50 pm  

We just seem to finally clicking better in defence, and the attack is making better moves too, could the impossible, actually be possible?

Steady on. We might if Wigan lose next week and Warrington lose their semi. Otherwise it'll be very tough.

It would be truly unbelievable, but anything can happen

true, were still in it so I guess we have a chance. Still odds against us but Wigan look like they have run out of petrol. A good tough encounter next week and they could be there for the taking. Difficult to see past Dire at the moment though.

Of course you can, hopefully we [Wigan] will come back stronger and go on to the final but i think that at this moment Warrington must be odds on but you certainly have the talent to beat them in a one off game, i think that we may have ran out of steam a week or 3 too early..

Of course anything could happen.

I'm assuming Leeds will have enough for Hull now, which means we'll either face Catalan or a seemingly fatigued Wigan at home. Beat either of those and it's another boost of confidence and Warrington will not want to be facing Saints in their first GF appearance - with all the pressure on them.

Either way, I'm proud that we've shown finally that this team can man up and expose Wigan's frailties the way they did today. After Saints' first half performance in particular, Wigan should feel lucky they finished the game with a respectable scoreline.

The CC will do that to you, it's so hard to raise your intensity for a cup final then maintain it for the play offs. You do look spent, but who knows? A win next week, and you're 80 mins from the final.

Credit where it is due, you deserved your victory today, well done. You looked more hungry for the win today.

They were blitzed today Wigan. Beaten from the first whistle. I just feel we lack the composure and clinical ability to kill off a game and that will cost us this year. When we got 14 points ahead today, twice, we looked very, very brittle. One try at that stage and Wigan would have folded but we never got close.
