I like making Saints/Wire play each other twice... Even if Wire can shake the hoodoo, can they do it twice?

That's why I have them in the last 4. I think Wigan would rather select them than have a derby against Wire or Saints.

The only change I'd make to that is in Week 1 with Saints beating Wire.

I just can't see Wire beating Saints twice in the space of 14 days.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that one but without Pryce and Eastmond I don't think they'll be quite good enough.

Wigan v Leeds
Saints v Wire
Hudds v Crusaders
Hull v Hull KR

Wire v Hull KR
Leeds v Hudds

Wigan v Hudds
Saints v Wire

Wigan v Saints in the final for me

Week 1
Wigan beat Leeds
Saints beat Wire
Huddersfield beat Crusaders
Hull FC beat Hull K R

Week 2
Leeds lose to Huddersfield
Wire beat Hull FC

Week 3
Wigan beat Huddersfield
Wire beat Saints

Grand Final
Wigan v Warrington

The one that matters for us is getting Saints in the Semi Final depends who you pick.

In a way im not fussed about losing on friday becuase we get another chance the week after but i do want this hoodoo over Saints to end ASAP.

I have a feeling Nobby may just work his play off magic and shock a few

Wire only have to beat Saints once to make the GF.

Might they not have to play them again in "Round 3" - in fact, if I 've understood it correctly and the 2 losing teams from the top 4 then beat the 2 winning teams from positions 5 -8, depending on who Wigan pick, might not these Round 3 semi-finals just be an exact repeat of this week's opening games, ie Wigan V Leeds and Saints V Warrington?

Or maybe I've just misunderstood the system!

I think Warrington will play Saints twice because Wigan won't pick either of them in the semis.

lets just get through leeds first before thinking about picking anybody

Saints are still the big threat, but I think Hudds will make it to week 3. Let's have a derby at OT
