Only if Wire won all their subsequent matches. If Saints win all their remaining matches but Wire lose a couple then Saints would be second, whether or not we beat Wire next week. Wire can't rest easy for a while yet.

It makes a massive difference, the stats say it all

If if we were to beat you the gap would be 4 with only 6 up for grabs though.

Correct and our points difference would be higher if we beat them.

some wire fans are thick? next week is absolutly massive finishing 2nd is a must and we all know it and if we lose i just cant see us finishing 2nd as saints final 3 games are crusaders bradford and castleford they will win all 3 of them probably by big scores so yes we have to win next week:)

Only one team has one the Grand Final after finishing outside the top two. Bradford in '05.

Why?

Different set up these days.

It's probabaly harder now.

cause 1 it means all games are at home 2 it means we will probably get a week off in the playoffs and 3 obviously we have a better chance as in the current systm the top 2 should make the final

Also if Leeds put Wigan out and we beat Saints i'm pretty sure we get the club call which could be an advantage. Although I might be wrong.

im nervous for next week, hope we can do it
