All going to plan so far

We wouldn't live with Wigan in that form. If Wigan keel this form up then they will win back to back titles.

We just ain't good enough. Wolves got to many injuries and the others apart from Leeds are not in the running.

Unless Leeds get their act together I can only see a Wigan win at old Trafford.

They did look the part, but will they still be playing like that in 3 weeks ? i doubt it

Wigan look fantastic if teams let them look fantastic. Wigan have been beaten several times this season in exactly the same way. Bloody hard work, then Wigan just fall apart. It needs teams to get right into Wigan's face, fast defence line speed. Pull in their 4 man tacklers/defenders when attacking then offload. Every team that's beaten them (including us) have played like that this season.

Wigan fall apart when put under pressure. They look unbeatable when they are allowed the room. Huddersfield did that.

The downside of that is it is bloody hard work and draining. Only the fittest of teams can keep that up for 80 minutes against Wigan, and the team has to be mentally up for it which sometimes Saints isn't.

We would need a better performance than the one when we beat Wigan at the DW, I seem to remember Walsh went off after 20 mins, so there might be a very very slim chance of winning without half backs.
I think we will know where we are going performance wise after tonights game, Waney put the goons in the right mindset in treating it as a one off elimination game, whether Browny can do that I dont know.

On tonight's performance no one will want to come to Langtree Park?

This win keeps my prediction aliveicon_smile.gif

We are going to have an interesting decision next week.

Pick the lowest placed team, it's not hard at all...

So leeds then?

I didn't say hard tho.

It'd be better than playing them in the final

Only way I wouldn't pick leeds is if Widnes got through by some miracle...

Wigan Vs Warrington

Saints vs Castleford

Saints vs Warrington final. Saints just fall short.

Don't think Warrington & Cas can both progress.

Huddersfield vs Leeds/Catalan/Widnes
Cas vs Warrington/Leeds/Catalan

Well spotted.

In that case.

Saints vs Cas

Wigan vs Huddersfield
Saints vs Huddersfield grand final. Saints finally win one.

Or if Cas muster one last big performance to beat Wire? Why choose Leeds and give wi*an a likely easier semi, when we could hope that wi*an and Leeds batter seven bells out of each other.
