On the plus side for the big 3 sides at the top of the league and in the cup semis is the fact that at least two sides are likely to be equally drained come the GF. Whilst the cup final itself was a walkover last year, Leeds had a pre- and post-cup hangover which nearly cost us the LLS. Wigan and Sts were able to focus just on the league over that period. If you face Wire in the cup final, win or lose it will impact both sides.

1 Trophy has now gone so we urgently need to re focus and aim for the LL Shield or 2nd place at least and ensure a home semi final

Both Hull FC and Wolves will suffer both pre and post Wembley hangovers irrespective of the result so we should be able to overtake those 2 sides during the next 7 games and finish above them both in the table

Sounds like a good plan but I may have discovered a flaw in it.

We can't score more than 20pts, against anyone

It's hard to take but we lost to a better side. There are positives that we can take and tunnel vision to the GF is one of them. Another one is that we play Saints the week before the challenge cup final and we have absolutely nothing to make us take our eye off that one now. We need a really good start in Spuer 8's starting this week with Wakey. Put a few demons to bed, rattle up a score and move on. We'll get a few bodies back and hopefully play some better rugby.

I think warrington will win the CC final. Wigan should profit from hull and warrington in the CC final and finish top. Then I think wigan will toil their way to victory over saints/hull in the semi but lose the grand final to warrington.

Dreamland. Winning the double with a Grand Final victory against Wigan.

Well Leeds won the treble last year including a grand final victory over wigan, so these dreamland type scenarios have been known to happen.
