Couldn't have asked for a better route to old Trafford in my opinion and the value of finishing top has shown. Just have to deliver on Thursday now, it will be a tough game!

Well, I can only assume you're a bitter Leeds fool who couldn't even get past the first hurdle......

It's in our hands to reach Old Trafford now. Not saying it'll be easy next Thursday, but we certainly have a marvellous chance now.

Apparently nobody wanted to finish top. What a position we are in because of it! Other teams take note.

Catalan will be tough, they looked fast and a right handful. We will need to play well to get passed them, definitely.

I can only see defeat if we get to the grand final tho. Shame no walsh or lomax or I'd be confident of getting there and winning it.

We are not there yet, last time we played Catalans we got hammered 42 - 0 also historically the semi finals are the toughest of the games.

That's funny because i'd rather saints win than wigan, 1000%. Don't assume.

Catalans are knackered. They'll make a good fist but saints will take control in the final 3rd of the game. Saints best chance of winning at OT is a battered wire getting there.

It's possible that it could go that way. we've never had a full strength side for many many years in the play offs and final, so we will take anything to our advantage.

On another note, I've just checked the RFL website for tickets and they have confirmed that Saints / Catalans will be in the West Stand (Streftord End) & Wigan / Wire will be in the East Stand.

This is where we've been for the majority of our grand finals.

Last time a team won with that end was 2006 I think?

Stretford end is cursed.

Have I think it was the finals against Bradford when we were last down the other end.

We've been next to the TV screen for years, (when we get there).

So long as we go out and play a solid game then we should be ok. It's aways difficult for Catalans away from home so 3 weeks on the run is really pushing it.

Stretford End is where we lost all our Grand Finals to Leeds but beat Hull.

No such thing as curses, just being outplayed everytime we've been there since 2006.

Warrington caught the Stretford end curse off us too.

I don't think I can bring myself to sit in the end. Might have to go on the side if we get there.

Werent we in the Stretford End when we beat Bradford in 1999?
