Isn't that being a little disrespectful to the other teams as we are taking them for granted that we will turn them over in week 2. After all who ever we play will be on the back of a win and we will be on the back of a loss with possible injuries too so i think it's important that we win on friday (and i think we will

)

The team's who finished third and fourth both lose twice and missed out on the semi last year. Take nothing for granted.

I'm not gonna lie though - I'd be absolutely gutted in we won on Friday then lost to Saints two weeks later. I want to win the last ever game at Knowsley Road and we need to lose on Friday in order to be playing in it, but if we lose on Friday then lose the following week (or win but get chosen by Wigan) I'll never have seen us win at Knowsley Road in countless visits. Not a great thought.

Friday's game is therefore something of an enigma.

I dont think Wigan would choose us if they win TBH.

IF it goes the way i think its going too, then Wigan will beat Leeds, We will beat Saints. Wigan will then choose Leeds again (as leeds and saints im sure will turn over whoever they get in the next round), and wigan will hope us and saints will knock ten bells out of eachother and be goosed for the final, as they will beat leeds again.

Wigan Vs Wires Grand Final me thinks.

I actually think its alot more important to you given your injury problems as it would give you a chance to rest Lomax and co for week 3, I don't think Wembley has taken much if anything out of us we were well rested before and after the final an also during the season players have been given breaks here an there by Smith like Morley.
