| The team i really want us to face, should we get to OT, is Wigan. Only hurdle i have never seen us jump in a final going back to Wigan's dominant 90's days and its about time it was put to bed.
Back to the question, no i'm personally not worried by any side. What we know is we can match and beat anyone on our day.Wigan were average last night but not reading anything into that they will ramp it up come the play offs, as will we.

| I'm worried that our players might need some kind of safety goggles.

| I'm more worried about injuries and regaining our form post CC final (and without Aiton).
Wigan always seem to up their game against us and are finding form at the right time but we are the better side this year (even Wigan supporters have spent most of the year complaining how below par their pack is)

| their was 2 things I learnt from the game last night-
1. Phil Clarke thinks John Bateman is quite an average player
2. Shaun Wane would heve been furious at half time.

| I think we should also be concerned about the Giants who've very much sneaked under the radar this year.
I know they've blown previous grand finals series but I believe they've learned from that.
All in all a playoff series to surpass all others so far.
Just what the competition should be about.

Our pack is playing a lot better now. Christ even Mossop made over 100m last night. And these days we're a completely different team with Bowen who has been one of the best players in the league over the past couple of months. Some sloppy defence against Hull sure, but that's easily fixed and will be fine once we have players like O'Loughlin and Farrell back.

| Wigan and Huddersfield are the 2 teams im most worried about. I think their defences are the only ones in the league that can shut down our attack.

| I'd rather play Wigan than any other side TBH. Both Hudds and Saints pose more danger IMO.
Shaun Wane's big match game plan:
Plan A. Slow the game down, lie all over the opposition, try to milk a penalty at every opportunity.
Plan B: If plan A doesn't work, resort to thuggery.

| Wigan will be a different prospect in the playoffs than they were last night, think they just expected Hull to roll over and get smashed so got caught very unaware, that won't be the mindset when/if they play us.
As for Hudds, same as every year. Can they perform when it becomes crunch time? Our CC hammering of them earlier in the year hints at perhaps not.

You actually lose track of how many times in a game Stevo or Eddie say "Shaun Wane will be furious", if it was a drinking game and you had to take a shot each time you'd be f**ked.
I know they say it every game that the coach will be furious, but when it's Wane they say it nearly every time a bit of poor play happens from Wigan.

| If we have a fully fit squad (except Aiton, JJB and Sutcliffe whose seasons are over) I don't think Wigan stand a chance. Sinfield and Peacock look more focused on winning than ever.
I'd love to see a Leeds v Huddersfield grand final. As long as we don't meet in the play offs I think it will happen.

Shaun Wane's big match game plan
Brian McDermott's big match game plan:
Plan A. Throw as much until it sticks
Plab B. Call the ref names until he starts making calls in your favour

| Worried about rugby league? Never. Whoever we play will be a tough game at this stage of the season. It's also worth noting that Wigan had several players missing as well.
