[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Finishing 2nd is, largely, the same as finishing 1st. In fact it's arguably better beacuse if Huddersfield beat Wigan they are guaranteed the odious club call, we can still win and avoid it. But broadly speaking there is no real difference.
Top 4 have a huge advantage over positions 5 to 8 - guaranteed 2 home games and you can afford to lose. That's what makes Leeds achievement the last 2 years so special and, in my view, worthy Champions.

Rather we beat Leeds, Wigan beat Hudds, KR beat Saints, Catalan beat Hull, then Hudds, KR beat Leeds, we pick KR, Catalan beat Wigan, and we beat Catalan at OT ..... can that happen? ....... ' think I need my meds now .....

There are some good odds for Saints and Hull at the moment - worth taking a punt on them for Old Trafford?
Hull made Wembley after all. |

| Quote: sally cinnamon "Leeds get a better reward for finishing 3rd than us or Saints.
They get Wire who may well bottle it as usual against Leeds in the playoffs, then they will have played themselves into form and will get either Hudds whose nerve might well fail them on the big occasion or Wigan who are on a losing streak and then they are at Old Trafford where they will probably have one of the three teams mentioned above, none of whom would realistically beat Leeds at Old Trafford.
How is that fair?
IMO the whole system is rigged to favour teams that win all their knock out games like Leeds.'"
How on earth can Leeds have a better advantage finishing 3rd than Wire finishing 2nd?
If you are worried that you might have a week off after winning a home game then maybe you should throw that and you will be happier and match hardened next time round!! |

That's another one fallen for it. I'm amazed that, after all this time, people still rise to the bait. |
