Smith said before the game we need to take early chances and we did just that.

Think we did a number on Wigan

Was a risk by Smith given how light we was, be interesting to see how we go for it against Hull who are blowing teams away right now.

We'll be in it, but dont think our opponents will be Warrington!

Looking at it i do think you have a tougher game this weekend but i do think you will finish top. Though as we found out last season finishing top means sod all if you dont win your first play off game.

In terms of the play off, of course you are correct. However, IMO finishing top proves you have been the best team in the league. If Warrington beat Hull I will be acknowledging them as such through gritted teeth whilst hoping the pressure that accompanies the achievement brings them down.

OFC if Wire finishes top makes them the best side this season. But its no gurantee of winning the GF especially if you lose the first play off game.

when briers plays wire will win no matter who the opposition is. you guys need to pray he does not play against you in the GF (if you get there).

IF wire lose on friday, and we win, then does that mean we have been better than warrington all season? I don't think it does.

I'd agree!

putting bias and our rivalry to one side id say there hasnt been much to choose between us all season, theres definitely a gap opening up between us and the rest though

Not really, no. Right from the botched kickoff, it was obvious that we were mentally and physically a long way below par. Most of the important handling errors were unforced, both in attack and defence.

It would be theft of the highest order, Warrington have been the best in the league this season by a reasonable distance for me.

I would be immensely happy if it happened though, the trolls might go quiet, for a few days at least!

I'd disagree with that. We (Wire) have been very very good for most of the year, but if we lose on Friday and Wigan win, then even though we will have won most games, Wigan will have lost two games fewer than us. We were soft in more games, whereas you picked up the results you needed.

There is an argument that we have won more games in style, but ultimately that is only relevant if we draw now.

If you finish top, you have deserved it and are the best team (up to that point of the comp). The League table doesn't really lie.

Agreed, the team who finishes top will have been the best over the course of the season, be that wigan or wire.

Whilt I know where you are coming from. If this does happen and we beat Crusaders Wire will have lost 2 more games than Wigan this season. Part of being a good side is not having the stinkers that they throw in from time to time.

Thats fair enough, and finishing top should get some kind of reward, BUT, at the start of the season all clubs know the format we are playing under, the SL Champions will be the team that wins the Grand Final, thats the target.....Old Trafford, 8th October.
