Agree.

Did you coach the Chinese Badminton doubles?

| Saints could well be coming to our place 3 times in September. The possibility is that we could win 5 times against Saints and still not get to the GF, which would just about be it for me if this top 8 system is retained.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

No, it wasn't tactical, it was to allow them to pick up their pensions on Friday whilst the rest of team was travelling down to London.

| What dilema, even at our lowest point over the last few years, the chance of beating Stains always comes before anything else.
The ginger pearls try in the last minute against them was more pleasing than any of the trys in the Challenge Cup final last year. Nothing feels better than putting our 'noisy neighbours' to sleep.

| It may be an easier route but just think.
Some Wire fans say they won the league because they finished top. If we threw a game (which is against the spirit of the sport and should be punished like it is in football which would obviously get wire punished for the London game) it would be wrong and it would mean that if our route was easier and we win the Gf we would've won from not finishing first (something we disliked about Leeds winning it last year) and it would mean those same wire fans could do the "we won the league" for another year. Plus who wouldnt want to beat saints 3 games in a row (assuming we did that of course)

| No, never throw a game for whatever reason, I will not go to a game that I think Wigan would not want to win. I don’t care who we may have to play, and how many times. This sort of idea will KILL THE SL, if there is a problem with the way the play offs are set, change it. I’m sorry but this is a real bad idea, and I keep hearing it ever since Leeds won the GF. Stop this we can lose this one or lose that one and we’ll have a better chance of winning the GF, I’d sooner us not be in the bloody Grand Final! Saying why don’t we rest players against Saints is just the same thing if the idea is to lose.

| For the record, I hate the fact that some teams don't play the strongest squad etc every week.
As a season ticket holder and regular away game fan, I pay to watch the so called best players every game. The game at the moment is becoming a joke.
This top eight is just rewarding mediocrity, we could end up with the fact that we have beaten Saints four times in the Super League for nothing, if they beat us once to get to a Final.
I personally would hate Wigan to not try and win every game, but the reality of the competition is that it would potentially give us an advantage not to.
Surely a system that enables this to happen can't be right?
