Quote: FlexWheeler "If you take the table as it is whichever way you look at potential results and combinations it's a very difficult task from 6th place. Leeds need to get top 4, get a win in the first game then they have a week off and a home tie into the final. That is the route that gives them the best chance winning the grand final, no question IMO. That means winning the 2 remaining league games which would hopefully be enough.'"
There's no formula that is "best" IMO for reaching the GF in terms of where you finish.
2012, Wigan and Saints both got the week off in the playoffs, both failed in the semis.
2013, Wigan and Warrington both got the week off in the playoffs, both won their semis.
Its playing good, being injury free, and playoff 'smarts' that count more than home/away advantage or a week off.
