It's totally debatable. personally i think our forwards are far more dynamic than theirs. The wire posters have said they feel their players have learned how to grind in the tight games. Ours have mastered it, Kirke who is regarded as the weakest player in the forwards has stood up time and time again at play off time. Our back line however IMHO is in a different class to theirs and ever other team in SL.

It's all about who turns up on the night. It's a game that could go either way.

Stopped reading after you said Saints will win it.

Great result tonight, played in winter conditions. Catalans tried to drag us into a down the middle game, which, to an extent, they did. And herein, lies the problem.

Tonight, we got away with it. But, play that game against Saints or Leeds, and we are toast. And here comes the 2nd problem. Play that game without 2 recognised half backs, and we will be played off the field.

Kevin Singield is sat here now, rubbing his hands. All Leeds will do is sit back and take the down the middle attitude. All Singield will do, is kick us around the pitch.

Tonight's win is the worst result we could have had. Without Ratchford working overtime and out of position, we did not deserve that.

Saints or Leeds will win the GF.

The worst and most erroneous match analysis I've ever read on these boards.

Only if Wigan beat Huddersfield and the winner of Wire V Leeds picks the table toppers in Clubcall, which is extremely unlikely.

If Huddersfield beat Wigan they will almost certainly choose the lowest ranked team which won't be Wire or Leeds. If Wigan win then the winner of Wire V Leeds will get the call and the lowest ranked team will almost certainly be the losers of our week one game.

Basically, unless the losers of our game also lose in week two, or Huddersfield lose in the first two games, we will be playing Leeds again in week three, not the final.

Only two defeats in a row from the table topping team, or a highly controversial Clubcall pick from whoever has the option will provide the opportunity for a Wire V Leeds final.

Stating the flipping obvious but if we can "play the game that's in front of us" then maybe we can go a step further this year.

This is Leeds forte in the playoffs. Absolutely top notch at not letting the opposition play a game on their own terms.

This year we've not looked as good through the season as we have in previous years. I'm just hoping Smith has knocked it into us how to win an arm wrestle and not have to rely on blowing teams away.

Re: Here is the Warning : Sun Sep 08, 2013 6:41 pm  

i believe that this years gf winners will be either the rhinos or the wolves
this would be the best final imo but i believe that results and club call will mean that if we both progress to the last 4 then we will be paired together in the semi final

i can see the giants getting to the final too but i am unsure who they will play in their half of the draw,i can still see saints beating wigan should they meet
