| ...or is anyone else feeling really calm for the weekend, and just looking forward to a great game of RL?
From reading some on here, you'd think we were well out of our depth, and talk of nerves this far out surprises me.
I'm not saying I'm supremely confident we'll win-I think we'll rightly start as favourites, but with no guarantee of success, but know if both teams play to their best we'll come out on top.
But there was a time I was worried I'd never see us win anything. 160 minutes in August 2009 changed all that, the first 80 versus the Pies, when we showed how Smith had changed our mentality. We've proven we can finish top, and now all doubt has gone about our ability to make the GF.
I hated last year's GF-I've been to all but one, and I enjoyed it least of all, cos I'd built it up to mean too much. My thoughts this year are completely different. It's still a massive game-bigger than last year I'd say, with it being a derby-but I've got faith that we're now a club who belongs in these kind of games, if not every season, a bit more frequently that once a generation.
So I'm just going to go, enjoy what will hopefully be a great game, cheer the boys come-what-may, and if the long wait ends, great. If not, I'll just keep on dreaming.
Either way, I'm proud to be a Wire, and after the years in the doldrums, just happy we've proven we're good enough to consistently be able to get to, and win, the games that matter most.

| Two more sleeps ..... or two more lie downs with your eyes open all night, depending on how relaxed you are

| I was nowhere near this anxious in the play offs of 2011 or 2012. I've honestly hated this season as all I've wanted was Grand Final redemption and nothing that's happened in between has mattered. The Challenge Cup games - even the semi - were a minor inconvenience that just had to be finished win or lose, and the Super League defeats were horrible stressing about how they affected our position and play off chances. The wins were just run of the mill. The two play off games so far - especially last week's - were clouded in pure nerves and panic, and this week is just one slow and arduous countdown to the blind fear I have of us losing on Saturday.
I'm not calm.

You should be because the people that matter have played the last two play-off games, and indeed the last half of the season, in a manner that suggested they are not of the same state of mind as most of here. Which is a good job really!!

| I'm really concerned about what might happen to Dropkick's mental state if Wire lose on Saturday.

He's always like this.
Man up Chris.
