A comfortable home game next week against Whipping Boy SL rabble like Hull, Catalan or Hull KR keeps the play-off engine running smoothly.

If wigan win tonight it will be probably be saints off the back of a thumping win.i would much rather have a week off then a home game to get to OT thankyou.

I'm prepared to give Huddersfield more credit than they've received for finishing 1st, therefore I expect them to beat Wigan tonight. Should they not beat Wigan, then it's further proof that some of the clubs immediately below them... Wigan in particular in recent months... have been taking it easy to such a degree they've been extracting the regular season urine all along.

Point taken about the risk associated with the possibility of having to play 5th placed Saints at home next week but I'd expect it to be either the Hull or Catalan rabble instead.

How many minutes was he on for?

Hmmm i thought he played his part during and in the aftermath of the match will be interesting who if anyone drops out for Bailey then i suspect it will be Achurch but seeing those stats and considering Achurch's cameo i would drop Kirke IF any changes are made at all.

There is a good case for retaining the Wigan 17. However there is also a case (although he doesn't deserve it) for giving Bailey some much needed game time as he needs to be much more match fit to be considered for the knock out stages. However if Bailey is to play it should be in place of Kirk who could do with a rest after playing all but one game so far this season. Achurch equally needs game time and as he proved in his first game back offers more impact than Clarkson, Kirke or Bailey so should retain his bench spot.

at least 15.
and three carries is an absolute disgrace

If we do lose we play the winners of hull v Catalan. So no chance of playing saints next week

If Wigan win tonight and we lose to Wolves then we will play Saints if they beat Hull KR

Does anyone else think that should Wigan win tonight that it will make us even more determined to beat the Wolves on Saturday and progress to the qualifying semi's and thus avoid playing a semi final eliminator against the Saints the week after?

If the Giants win tonight then our result on Saturday isn't as crucial IMO as we would play Catalans or Hull FC at home, with no disrespect intended to those clubs surely we would fancy our chances more in either of those games would we not?

highest ranked loser of 1v4 2v3 plays lowest ranked winner of 5v8 6v7.
