And Hudds may well be in the top 4 too, and they're constant playoff failures. If Warrington complete the top 4 then there's hardly a GF winners ring to show between those 4 teams apart from the ones Roby and Wellens picked up many moons ago and Lunt's win with us. |

| Quote The Eagle="The Eagle"Its a harder run of games, that is true, but as has been pointed out over various seasons.
Taking the 7th team out of it (if we don't win that then we have failed), we have an away game against one of the top 4 teams, followed by another.
The differences between that and what top has to do is that its home vs away , which is something that I don't think should worry a champion team. Its certainly something this group of players has shown capable of in the past in games which really matter.
the other difference is that we get a week off in the top 4 if we win the first game. Again, at this stage of the season the jury is out on whether the break is useful or not with regards to momentum or fatigue.
It is harder to win from 6th, but its not as hard as it was back in the day of the 5/6 team playoffs where every spot mattered.'"
I would hope most top sides would consider a home venue an advantage? especially in what is likely to be a tight game. Unless you have injuries to key players a week off is no real benefit in some case it can be the opposite.

Home games can be an advantage, but it can also add to the pressure. Leeds have shown that they can win away in the play-offs. Some of the teams we could be facing in week 2 it could be debated that they haven't shown ability to win play-off games, of any sort.

A little O/T but a post on the saints board suggests they've actually performed better away from Langtree Park than they have at home since the stadium opened. No idea whether this is true but no other poster has contradicted him.

Not really a surprise.Knowsley Road always was a tough, intimidating place to go for the away team, much in the same way Central Park was for the pies.Langtree Park is a great stadium but doesn't hold the fear factor yet. |

So likely top 8 of:
1. Castleford
2. St Helens
3. Wigan
4. Huddersfield
5. Warrington
6. Leeds
7. Catalans
8. Widnes
Week 1:
Castleford v Huddersfield
St Helens v Wigan
Leeds v Catalans
Warrington v Widnes
Week 2:
St Helens v Leeds
Huddersfield v Warrington - too close to call
Week 3:
would think Cas would club-call the winner of the Huddersfield-Wire game, sending us away to Wigan again.

Leeds have played a total of 28 (71%) SL Play-Off games (including GFs) covering the period 2004 to 2013 inclusive.
Wigan have played 24 (67%)
St Helens have played 22 (55%)
Warrington have played 15 (40%)

Not in the style of an AP/Keith Swiftcorn/William Eve league table where games against those teams he chooses and only those games count. |

It's all a bit different if Wire beat Wigan and Hudds beat Saints next week.
Would be something like:
1. Cas
2. St Helens
3. Warrington
4. Huddersfield
5. Wigan
6. Leeds
7. Widnes
8. Catalans
Cas vs Hudds
Sts vs Wire
WIGAN vs Cats
LEEDS vs Widnes
Couldn't pick a winner of the first two games. Could easily be the away sides sending us to Cas and Wigan to Saints, with the winners away to Hudds and Wire.
It'll be an odd situation where the teams finishing 5th and 6th are going to be shorter at the bookies to win the GF than the teams finishing 1st and 2nd. |

So those were a sub-set that only included matches involving those five clubs. Ok, get it now. |
