what is great is there are four genuine contenders for the title this year (Saints, leeds, wigan, wire) with 2 more outsiders not far behind (hull/huddersfield)

makes a better change than the last 3 years where (with respect) there were only really two who looked like going all the way

Agreed. Could be the best series yet.

You're right. We're coming to get ya.

McGuire to score a hat trick leaving Tomkins (the little one) for dead each time. Our new props Ambler and Eastwood to batter your forwards.......AND Bailey from the bench to get one of yours (prob Coley) sent off too. Sweet.

If you're gonna talk complete cack why not add you'll be bringing 7000 fans with you as well?

Nahhh ! Only if we were going to get a game from your lot. Admit it ....the hubcap's your pinnacle this year. You've peaked; Leeds haven't yet. We're timing it for YET another GF win

They're a good team, but I'd fancy playing them over either Saints or Wire at the moment.

I personally think we will get to OT and lose. I just don't think we have that composure in 'big game' situations and we may struggle. Next year however, we WILL be a massive threat.

Well so far it looks that way. HOWEVER, we have to adopt an open mind to Madge atm. Nothing is won yet, but equally nothing is lost. Maybe he is another "Nobby" and peaks his teams for the playoffs. Let's hope so

It'll be very tough but I think we'll get past Leeds in Week 1.

The smart money would have to be on Wigan, Wire, Leeds and Saints taking the four final eliminator spots. Again, far from a certainty but pretty likely.

If it does go as predicted (and I don't know how others feel about this) I would probably go for Warrington or Saints in ClubCall (depending on which of them lose in Week 1).

Choking in a final and barely scraping a win against a 12 man side? oh yeah, you're on fire mate.

that was exactly what i was thinking as i read it! over the past few years, at this point in the season, they've been stringin wins together and looking half decent. Leeds usually up their games against Wigan so that could be the case on Sunday, but they've looked tired the past couple of games, at Wembley especially. they havent always been in the cup when they won the GF so it might have taken it out of them? heres hoping anyway!

We cant pick Saints if they win.

I expect us to pick Leeds and make Wire & Saints face each other again, if you assume the top 4 will all get through.
