| So, with Salford's win today seeing them limping over the line to SL survival it's down to us vs Wakefield probably at their place unless we absolutely smash Fax by a cricket score.

| Well we have a few wrongs to put right after our diabolical performance last time there. What an awful venue for such a big match, hope the Wakefield club are better prepared to deal with any crowd problems in what will be an emotional game.

| I still feel the game should be at a neutral venue. Given the importance of the game and everything

Well they have finished higher in the table. Wakefield could have finished comfortably above us, and then being asked to play in a knockout game at a neutral venue would seem harsh. I'm comfortable with 4th having home advantage.
The hiding we got at their place may turn out to be a good thing. It will be a close game and hopefully we can have all our key men playing in their correct positions and not lose Gaskell and Pitts after 10 minutes.
Game on!

| It's a bit pointless going on about the venue. We always knew it was going to be at the 4th place club.
Don't suppose we'd have complained if we'd have been in 4th (which we could easily have been if we hadn't shipped a boatload of points against Widnes and HKR)
That said, it is a scruffy, tin-pot ground to be hosting such a vital game. It's up to us to make sure that its a ground that won't be hosting SL in 2016

You're clearly making reference to Odsal, but as I said NEUTRAL that doesn't work does it?
Maybe you should take your brain out of neutral?

Yes your right squire, as it's such a vital game for you, we should play it at that super duper state of the art stadium called odslum

First of all congratulations to the Bulls on making it to the "£1 million" game, it should be a cracker. I will very much be a neutral for this one as I would like to have seen both Wakey and the Bulls in Super League next year.
Secondly the phrase "people in glass houses" comes to mind ref the highlighted comment above. I have watched the Rhinos at both Belle View and Odsal and I know which I prefer.

| It's not a super duper state of the art stadium....but I could see why you thought it was. Thank fully it's much better than Belle Vue and we rent it for peanuts.

| For me I feel it should be neutral ground regardless if we would/still could finish 4th. It was always likely a super league team would finish in 4th and seemingly be offered home advantage.
Roll on Wakey away part 2!

Referring to the fact you lot don't understand the rules set out from the outset.
4th will be at home to 5th,
Not we still think we are a massive club and have a divine right to play at ODSLUM!!
Just sayin

Let's jump forward 12 month, let's say we are away to your Wakefield again, it could well be played at Dewsburys ground as you would get home advantage.
It would be nice to see Wakefield move up in the world
Beat that one with your sarcasm
