All our players seem to be coming into form, can we do this??

I wouldn't bet against a Leeds v Saints final. Every time I think I've got a hang of where we and the other clubs are, the results make a monkey out of me.

We're likely to finish 4th and travel to Cas. But we beat Cas at their place a few weeks ago, and that was pre-Barba, when we were playing badly, and Cas had Gale. In theory, it's all to play for now.

Mind you, watch us lose to Salford this weekend and make it all moot....

yeah good point. Salford.

Can you imagine the whinging on the VT and other social media after all the talk this year about new clubs coming along and upsetting the established order at the top.

I had the same thought. There's be more bleating than a flock of sheep.

I was thinking Leeds-Saints final today. Just a feeling.

Not a chance. If by some miracle we beat Salford, Cas will put a cricket score on us.

I agree with some of the above posts that I to have a sneaky feeling we are going to make the final, probably against Leeds. But first I am fully thinking of nothing else but us getting past Salford on Thursday before I dare to dream.

Do we know which days the Semis will be played on and which positions play on which night? or do we have to wait till 2 days before when Sky have made the decision?

Please play Matty Smith if we do play you.

I believe we are sending him out on loan to you lot, until Luke gale gets better.

The most unlikely outcome is finishing 4th. If we beat Salford we will finish 3rd. So it will be Leeds away on the Friday as Cas have already said that they will be on the Thursday.

If we finish third this season is the most unlikely season of all.

At one point I was wondering whether we would make the 8.

Luke Gale on a hospital trolley still under anesthetic is a better scrum half than Smith.

I didn't really think Smith offered us what we need the first time around, he is the same now, a great in field player but we need action close to the line within 10 meters of the enemy, he never provided this I didn't think and still doesn't

we are better with Fages and Lomax. I Like Matty Smith though and he has proven to be one of the top players, I just don't see how he fits into this Saints team.

Why is it? If both Saints win and Hull win then Saints finish 4th (this is more likely given Cas' team selection)
