. . . and to deny Wigan the last derby win at KR.
It's a no brainer.
Big pressure, but then Wigan crumble under pressure anyway  |

Looks like being a much tougher call for you guys this year compared to the choice Leeds had last year

Why risk a derby loss against Wigan when we could have a big pay day at the GF. For me the most logical choice would be the easiest game.
Wigan at home would be nice and a fitting send off, but I wouldnt be as confident playing the pies as I would playing Wires.

Just as a quick question.
Are we gonna be playing on the Friday or Saturday, and what time is KO?

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

| Theres a rumour doing the rounds at work that Saints v Wigan will be the last game at KR anyway, but on Boxing Day rather than in the play offs. Ive no fact whatsoever to base this on, other than chinese whispers as stated, but you wouldnt put it past Saints to pull something like that for the financial benefits it would achieve. Only after they've sold out the latest 'last game at KR' in two weeks tho! |

I'd normally say go for the lowest placed side, so if Hudds or HKR win pick one of those, but........
Just noticed Mcguire out for rest of season so if one of those win do we send them to Leeds and take on the harder team at home.
Home advantage helps us knock out harder team.......Then Hudds/Hkr then either knock out injury hit Leeds giving us an [ieasier[/i final.
Or we take on an injury hit Leeds at O/T and get revenge.
Trouble is its a gamble taking on Wigan or Wire at home

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

We can't pick Leeds. It's one of the conditions of qualifying at the first attempt. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

Its possible our Eamonn McManus might have a say in it, he criticised the concept last year. So ethically he might request the club call is chosen against the lowest ranked team.
