CLEAR 2ND. GET IN THERE!

Get in there! Sounded ugly but who cares.

Liam Marshall’s had a class year imo, defence and carries have been class, nice to see back in the tries again.

Can someone let me know how French was ? What position? Did he play alright?

Scrapped our way through. Loved the Wakey fans moaning about the ref as we walked off, he was their player most of the day.

Stand off and in his short spell he looked a real threat. He’s off the cuff but showed some good skills with his passing and kicks through the line. I’m confident we’ve signed a pretty special talent.

Have I got this right that if we finish second and win the playoff game, our ‘reward’ is Saints away to qualify for the Grand Final??

No. Our playoff would be Saints away. A win means the GF, a loss means another bite of the cherry.

Thanks Nicky, I agree!

Yep

Week 1
A - 2nd v 3rd
B - 4th v 5th

Week 2
C - Saints v Winner A
D - Loser A v Winner B

Week 3
E - Loser C v Winner D

Week 4 (Final)
F - Winner C v Winner E

No Saints get a week off, it's as above

Assuming it’s the same as the champ if you came 2nd your play off game would be against the team in 3rd - the winner of that then play saints for a place in GF
