Looking at the run ins Wigan have a tricky one on paper.

Leeds away
Both Hull clubs away
Hudds at home

But the Leeds away is the week before the semi and Wigan will want revenge for the manner of the QF defeat and Leeds will have 1 eye on the Cup so possibly an easier game for Wigan than it may have been had both been out of the cup?

Win 4, lose 5.

I really don't think we will slip up to the lesser teams.


We still have to play Leeds , Saints , Wigan - I don't think we will all them 3. If we do then I'm confident of a Grand Final Appearance.

Wigan play - Wire , Leeds , Both Hull teams away and Huddersfield at home. I think one of the Hull teams will beat Wigan. If Wigan can manage wins against us and Leeds then top spot's there's.

Saint's have Wire , Leeds - We can beat Saints and I think that could be the game we win. I don't think they will beat Leeds.

I'm very confident we can/will beat Wigan away.

You would then have to repeat a big win in the final. You would be lucky to avoid saints in the play-offs. Your best chance is to play Wigan in one of those games because I can't see Warrington beating Leeds and Saints.

You have said that alot today.

What if we beat Leeds on Sunday? or does that not count?

Probably not.

Half the pie's were on here when we beat KR saying the Ref spoiled the game.

Just wait till after the game on Sunday.

Finishing second is pretty much equal to finishing first as far as the play-off draw is concerned. That should be our goal, great to finish first but not essential. Even finishing second will be an improvement record: no team has finished 10th one year and improved to 2nd in the following year of SL. The 'business end of the season' the play-offs themselves, is where we need to turn it on - after a second successive Challenge Cup win, of course.

I would like to see us show what we can really do on our day like against Hudds in the cup.

Since then we have been pretty much grinding the win out.

The pies always have an excuse!

Think we've got the toughest end to the season of the 3. In a season of pleasant surprises there just might be a few more in Tony's bag. 2nd place would be a huge achievement for us, 1st would beggar belief for me. Still think we'll win one or the other.
