My prediction for the entire play-off series.

Qualifying play-off 1 - Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR Leeds Win

Qualifying play-off 2 - St Helens v Huddersfield Giants Hudds Win

Elimination play-off 1 - Wakefield Wildcats v Catalans Dragons Wakefield Win

Elimination play-off 2 - Wigan Warriors v Castleford Tigers Wigan Win

Preliminary semi-final 1 - St Helens v Wigan Warriors Saints Win

Preliminary semi-final 2 - Hull KR v Wakefield Wildcats Hull KR Win

Semi-final 1 - Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR Leeds Win

Semi-final 2 - Huddersfield v St Helens Huddersfield Win

Grand Final - Leeds Rhinos v Huddersfield Leeds Win


You'd get some huge odds on that at the bookies I'm sure. Would anyone actually give you odds on that or not? I guess maybe not due to the Club Choice element and potential for it being fixed.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that leeds would not be able to pick the team they played in round 1 of the play offs, i.e Hull K R. Similarly Huddersfield would not be able to play Saints twice. i hope I'm wrong, because I'd be very happy with things working out the way you say, but in such a scenario would we have no choice but to play Saints? (thus rendering the "top team get to pick" rule irrelevant!)

Yes Huddersfield have had a great season and are playing some great stuff but i would be amazed if they beat Saints twice

I fancy Saints to come good in the play offs and fancy them to win the GF this year as everyone has wrote them off following the last month or so, where as the last 2 years they have been expected to win.

So you can't play the other winner from week 1 or the team you've already played that could leave a choice of 1.

No that isn't right. You can play the same team in week 3 as you did in week 1.

In the above scenario Leeds could pick Saints or Hull KR. There is a possiblity that week 3 repeats the week 1 games.

you wouldnt be able to bet on those predictions like that.

you would however be able to start with a small stake, and then back each team in sequence,

i.e
£5.00 on leeds to win - Returns £6.67

£6.67 on hudds to win returns - £20.00

£20.00 on .... and so forth.

whether you have the nerve to put the bigger returns on the later game however.

Something that has been bugging me about the new playoff format is:

If Leeds Win against Hull KR, Hull KR then get a 2nd chance (which fair enough because they have earned it by finishing 4th)

If Hull KR then win there next game and come to face Leeds again and beat Leeds, Leeds are out, without any 2nd chance.

A bit offside imo.

I see your point, but, for the past two seasons, Leeds lost a playoff match but, making use of their second chance, went on to beat Saints in the final - for two years in a row Saints' first defeat in the playoffs has ended their interest in the competition.Slightly different I know as these were Grand Finals as opposed to eliminators, but same in that a team which had lost a play off team prevailed over a team that hadn't. Just the way it goes I guess.

I agree, I think you should throw the first game a claim your 2nd chance thus feeling like you've got value for your 1st place.. icon_biggrin.gif

I think that might have been my fault as there was a rumour that was mentioned on Touchline (RIP) that this might be the case to stop 2 repeat games in week 3 and I did mention this in a post but it was indeed a load of rubbish!

Teams in places 1-4 get 2 chances to get to the semi final.

What are they doing over there? They're filming something. They're filming midgets! Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in f*cking Bruges Ken: You from the States? Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me. Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass. Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world. Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.:
