Last week I posted a thread asking whether it was in our interests to beat Saints because beating them gave us a harder game the following week. This week I also feel that beating Les Cats would give us a harder route to Old Trafford than losing. Here's my workingWigan v Les Catalans
Warrington v St Helens
Leeds v Wakefield
Hull v Huddersfield
St Helens v Hull
Les Catalans v Leeds
Wigan v St Helens
Warrington v Leeds
If we loseLes Catalans
Warrington v St Helens
Leeds v Wakefield
Hull v Huddersfield
Wigan v Hull
St Helens v Leeds
Warrington v Leeds
Les Catalans v Wigan
So basically, unless you think any of those games would have different outcomes, we can play either Saints, or Hull then Les Cats. The latter two look much easier opponents to me, plus we would have McIlorum back for the final. Thoughts?

Of course it's in our best interest. Daft question.
Get to the final via the shortest route possible.

If we win, why would we pick Saints? Pick Leeds every time.

I certainly wouldn't write Wakefield off turning Leeds over just yet.

Win and win well to build confidence then play a semi in 2 weeks and win at all costs and then go and do it in the final.
Thats the best route regardless of who we play along the way.

Really? They have won 4 grand finals in 5 years and turned us over in a semi already this year, I would much rather play Saints, who have lost 5 in a row and we've beat in every important game this year |

Giving up clubcall and risk being sent to Perpignan, off course it is in our best interests to win. We don't win this week we don't reach Old Trafford IMO.

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Doesn't it just.
Win this week, win every week - that's the attitude to have.
