Don't think anyone would believe that teams go out to lose. But there are times when you wonder whether a team would give an extra 5/10 % if they knew a win really mattered.

I have no doubts that Huddersfield have been the best team over the season, the table doesnt lie. Just like it didnt last year or the year before. However like the last 2 seasons, we don't know whether the best team will suddenly come good in the playoffs. Until the team finishing top is properly recognised, then we will always have doubts about who is the best team in the league.

Your arrogance is quite breathtaking.

The playoff system is always going to favour teams in form going into them.

The current system also favours positions 1,2,5 and 6.

So lets look at the form. Huddersfield and Sts are the form teams.

Positions wise Leeds and Wigan will be 3rd and 4 th. They will have to be on song in the playoffs to get anywhere . Wigan are paying poorly. With Sam and Lockers fit they may do something. Leeds are not at the races but at least may be fit soon.

All this points to a Warrington V Hudds grand final.

Sadly I'm not sure that Wigan will even beat Hull in the cup final which will be a real shame as the 1985 final is the best game I've been to and the best night out round Wigan after it. Losing to Hull would take the shine off that for me.

Don't appreciate the opening comment. I understand you also have an opinion on clubs and team performances, as do I, but DON'T GET PERSONAL. Stick to the teams/clubs players.

you seem rather confident in beating Leeds come playoff time, we all know how that usually works out. How many playoff games have you ever won? (Genuine question)

oh dear........oh dear, oh dear ...oh dear - How pathetic
