| I was thinking about the various Playoff scenarios, but am not 100% sure of the method for the 3rd round.
Let's assume the top 4 is:
1. Wigan
2. Wire
3. Saints
4. Leeds
First round, I know we would play Wire at the HJ, and Leeds would play Wigan at the DW .... or Widnes If Saints and Leeds win those games (quite possible), and then Wire and Wigan beat their opposition from the 2nd round, Am I right in assuming that:
a. We would get the "Team Pick" as the highest placed qualifier from the first round
b. We couldn't pick Leeds, as they qualified from the first round too - so we could choose either Wire or Wigan
c. The 2 teams who qualified from Round 1 get the home advantage
If that's right, then we could potentially play Wigan in the last ever game at Knowsley Road.

| I've heard this mentioned before and it seems to be everyone's dream scenario.
Unfortunately the reality is more likely that on current form we'll lose at HJ then get a home tie to either Hudds or Hull K R then lose that one as well.

If you win your game and Warrington and Wigan lose then you will get coaches call if i am correct

I was just trying to temper the OP's optimism
I'd love it if his "dream" came true, we know that on their day Saints can beat anyone but we're also capable of losing to anyone

| If we beat Wire and Leeds beat Wigan, and then Wigan and Wire go on to win their next match to leave the semi's featuring the aforementioned sides - I would have thought Wigan would get the club call, because despite losing the opening playoff match, they are still the remaining side to have finished highest in the league table.

Interesting point,
If they lose their home game do they then lose the right to choose???

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

If the scenario was as stated that Wigan and Wire lost their opening fixtures against Leeds and Wire then Saints would have the club pick, and would have to pick Wigan or Wire (assuming those two won their second round games).
The games would be played at Saints and Leeds.
I still believe that the top 5 system was the bast of the play off systems, in that it really rewarded a team for finishing top. I'm not sure the current top 8 system does that.

But then that negates the importance of the weekly rounds even more so - the team finishing 3rd would than have more of an advantage than the team finishing 1st?
Makes no sense.
