Wigan V Leeds. The chances are the winner goes to Warrington and the Loser to Hudds in the first round of play offs. So the question is do you want to win or loose?

We've got to be able to beat anyone to win the grand final so I don't care what happens next week, if anything is a nothing game this would be it....

Yes i agree.

Its not our fault if we have finally woke up to how the system works. The best hardly win it so get everyone fit play the same side as tonight take the beating and beat the Giants the following week. I bet if we do that win the GF the system will get changed quicker than its going to.

Similar team to tonight then let the 1st team rip into Huddersfield in the play-offs.

Next week's game could be like West Germany v Austria at the 1982 World Cup.

I rather fancy it'll be difficult to outdo the masters of regular season mediocrity next week but good luck attempting to finish 4th.

Given our record at the HJ, we are better trying to lose next week.

What a pathetic situation the RFL has got the sport in when you are better off losing.
Roll on 2015 and the top 4 playoffs

Just like last year ' oh lets lose the last game so we dont have to face ' .....' what a joke!, No matter what the consequences I would never prefer to lose.

Take the young lads tonight despite the loss every one of them played their hearts out and i'm sure each would agree that a win is what's important.

I remember being at the final game last year and being embarrased at some of the people around me actually cheering when Saints beat us while wearing Wigan shirts and then had the cheek to celebrate us collecting the LLS.

The let's lose game backfired last year as we got an easy tie against Catalan and then when Leeds came in the semi we expected a similar results and then blew it by a single point.

Even if Wire did beat us in week 1 at least I'd hope we tried and would hope to get revenge should we then face them in the semi.

My advice to anyone with this 'let's lose' attitude regardless of the fact the RFL has a factor in it, why bother going on Thursday if you dont want to back your own team - not very ancient and loyal is it?

Well said. That said I think we will have as full a team out as we can because it is "Superman". That will take precedence over players not playing IMO.

To be honest whatever happens against Leeds we have a tough game. We haven't beaten either this year. I would hope we put a full strength team out barring on or two if carrying injuries as IMO win or loose they would benefit from the game before the play offs.

I can't get my head round the idea of wanting us to loose, I have to say though I won't be devistated if we do.

This wouldn't be an issue and would set next weeks game up nicely if we had a sensible play off format where u gained an advantage for every place higher you finish.

Such mind games extend to the play off first week, if we lose it doesn't matter as we get a second shot. How the hell did the game get in this situation?

d040.gif It still amazes me that you fans think that the players go out to deliberately lose a game. We are more than happy to beat you on our own ground. But then we are more than happy to play anyone... Unlike you who feel you need to pick and choose your opposition to be in chance of a win. icon_surprised.gifops: icon_surprised.gifops:

Why so frightened of Wire , they are not the team they were 2 years ago and in my opinion are not as good as Huddersfield apart from when they play Huddersfield if you understand the logic
