* - subject to choice of highest placed winner in week one

so if we lose to saint we will still be in it but if we do we will get a week off???

Assuming the positions don't change, if we lose to St Helens we then play one of the winners from the bottom half of the draw. If we win that, we then play one of the top half winners from week 1 (i.e. St Helens, Wigan or Hull on current positions).

So we could face Saints twice in the playoffs?

Possibly if Wigan choose the other winner of week two (should we lose in week one.) To make it clearer and before the question is asked, the highest placed winner of round one that selects their opponent cannot select the other top four team who won in week one. They can only choose between either winners of week two.

I just want to beat cass at home....!!

Pennant? He wouldn't dare turn up at the HJ.

I like that read a couple of his books,one tough cookie!!

So confusing

I read Andy Nicholls, and he says Pennant has exaggerated a few things to make himself (and his firm) look better in certain situations. I'm sure he's not the only one, like. I imagine that the way the OB have clamped down on it these days, all the old boys have got is dick measuring stories off days gone by.
