Couldn't make the 23rd so I'm happy with the switch!

Haven't we been offered a refund for those games should we want one?

Spot on as usual mate!

I think the criteria was if 4 games were lost through covid . I can't say i've had word of a refund or seen anything on my bank statement.

The play offs are a sl event, the monies get pooled amongst the clubs, so warrington don't have the right to shuffle those games on

After blocks of 4 games they would review any potential refunds and get in touch with us.

They got in touch around May June time for the start of the season games, you had to respond to tell them if you wanted a refund, or not

Thanks for that info . First i have heard.

17th June the email went out refund details for the leigh and Hull kr games

Wigan not being allowed to play at their own ground without begging their League One landlords brings the game into disrepute at least once a year.

I'm pretty sure their rent is being put up and it's not very affordable so things aren't too great for Wigan rl at the minute. Looks like they need a new stadium and now is not the time to be building one from a financial point of view, material costs are sky high.

Sale sharks are trying to buy the aj Bell as well possibly with Salford City FC, Salford red devil's could potentially be going to Salford City fcs ground but I'm not sure if that would be as a tenant or owner, probably a tenant.

We are very lucky to have the HJ. I don't care too much when the playoff match is played, just hope we get through it. I've got a bad feeling though, I think we will be poor this week and then be unable to shift up the gears when it matters.

But the players will be rested.......lol no game to play but they will be rested.

Saints Wigan and Leeds are all ramping it up this end of the year when they've been successfull we go on about peaking at the right time but then go and disrupt things ourselves by making wholesale unnecessary changes to the line up? Resting and not taking risks are different if a key player is not 100% then don't risk it. But if they are this is the time of year we need them on the pitch. We've actually played a few less games this season so not really sure players need a rest either.

It didn't work for us against Salford in the cup semi last year and I cant see it working now. We should be working on our game, sharpening up the attack, defence has been quite good but defence alone won't win it for us.

Last season St Helens lost their last two regular games, against Salford and Wigan. The year before, they lost to London in round 23 and then beat Wakefield in the last game.

We should get past the paranoia and the idea that Saints and Wigan are impregnable winning machines all of the time. It has been a weird season and because of some of the rearrangements the schedule has been punishing at times. It is perfectly sensible to try to let players recover from knocks they have been carrying now our position isn't changing. There is risk, but there is also risk of key players getting injured in dead rubber games.

In 2018, St Helens finished the regular (Super 8s) season with the wind in their sails, winning their last four games in a row and stamping their authority on the competition by finishing six points clear of everyone.

This gave them such momentum that they lost to us in the first playoff game, ending their season.
