| How much impact can we have on the playoffs?
The last 2 games have been poor but before that we were performing decently. In fact many were silently confident of a potential double.
We've lost peacock. But we are champions. We need to adapt our game. We probably don't have the forward muscle but we still have the speed and class. We get a second bite at the cherry. We are looking pretty wounded. If we do get into that situation where we are a choice for the club call, a team may well pick us - motivation.
If you betting on it though, you'd probably bet on a wigan saints grand final.

| also, can we have some proper opnions from respected posters.
none of this ''well if we perform to our best, we could make the grand final, ill reserve judgement until after the event''
come on, stick your neck on the line.
FWIW i think we'll go out in the final eliminator at either saints or wigan and it;ll be a saints wigan grand final.

| If we can tighten our defence up we will be a threat imo.
I liked Senior in the 2nd row yesterday but that does leave questions out wide if Smithy isn't fit although another option could be Ablett.
Of course then the question would be why swop a back-rower and a centre from their natural places i'm not gonna write us off and IF we can put a performance together i honestly think we can beat anyone in this league it's a case now of who we have available and whether or not they can reproduce previous play-off form.

True. But I just think in 2nd place they have a good platform to make the grand final, even if they aren't brilliant.
And once in the grand final I just think they have that x factor to win the big game that wigan don't have. (yes i know whats happened the past 3 years but it's wigan, not grand final specialists leeds )

Well whatever the final placings we are certainly the under-dogs in this play-off series and that could also add something to our game.
Wigan have to be favourites to get to OT and then it's on the night but any of the others can still get there including us imo.

| Wigan should beat Leeds.
Saints should beat Warrington.
Huddersfield should beat Crusaders.
Hull V Hull KR is 50/50.
Wigan & Saints (week off)
Warrington should beat Hull or Hull KR.
Leeds should beat Huddersfield.
Wigan select Leeds.
Wigan should beat Leeds.
Saints should beat Warrington.
Wigan V Saints Grand Final is 50/50.
I'd marginally favour Saints.

| Warrington won't beat Saints. Saints won't beat Leeds. Leeds won't beat Wigan. Wigan won't beat Warrington. Could be interesting. Huddersfield have a chance too.

| Personally I'd like to see a Wire v Saints GF but can you imagine the bleating from the Pies about being the 'rightful champions' if that did occur? Doesn't bear thinking about. Would be funny though!

| wigan are stumbling a little bit, saints are leaking points all over the place,we are very hit and miss and warrington seem to be on a roll.
you can ignore the rest for me.
it should be wigan v wire but you can never tell. all four sides are capable of winning it

We will win the GF. There I said it.
We will lose to Wigan, beat "whoever", then win whatever game comes up. Leeds vs. Saints again is my prediction. Mystic Chris has spoken. Bollox on the line etc. (although it may be the rugby club cider talking).

| I wouldn't rule Leeds out of beating Wigan, but I am pretty convinced Saints will get to and win the Grand Final without breaking sweat.
