I think it happened once before between us and Leeds, and Leeds pipped us to first place.

The good old days eh.

I thought 1st plays 2nd with the winner going straight to the final.

Not any more

Game one. 1st Plays 4th as Wigan and Leeds did last season. Winner gets a week off loser plays at home the following week.

Game two. 2nd plays 3rd. as per Saints and Us last season, winner and loser same as above.

game three. 5th plays at home to 8th. Winner plays away to loser of 1st & 4th
Game four. 6th plays 7th at home. Winner plays away to loser of 2nd & 3rd

Then the highest ranked team from G1 & G2 plays at home with Club Call.
Winner of Game two plays at home to the non selected team.

The two teams to win from these rounds are at O/T for the Grand Final.

Now, try to explain that orally to somebody who has never watched RL.

Plenty of people who do watch RL don't understand the play-off system

Wigan and Wire are nailed on for top 2 and now it just depends in which order.

We have 4 home games left against Wakey, Salford, Crusaders and Bradford so to be sat where we are is very pleasing.

What an end to the season we should see! There are going to be some very special games between us and you guys in the next few months.

I think second will do nicely so it will give us the inspiration to raise our game in the playoffs.
I initially didn't think we could win the grand final as essentially we have come from nowhere as regards to the history of the playoffs.

I'm getting a bit more excited as each week passes, thinking "surely we can't win it.......can we?"

But we are in a very good position to have a jolly good stab at it.

One thing is certain if the Grand final is anything other than Wires v Wigan then it won't be between the best two sides in the competition.

'Oley moley as Barrie Mac would say

2nd could mean Hudds at home instead of St Helens in the first round..I'd take that.

I would prefer to play Hudds than saints... so second might be the best place to finish.

I still think Catalan might sneak into 4th. In which case 1st may be a poisoned chalice as we've both struggled against Catalan thus far this season.

i am sure i heard somewhere that sky have better viewing figures for their saturday games rather than those on friday nights? either way i am not bothered if it's moved (birthday friday) as long as we get the two points,it's sure to be a cracker anyway.
