If we lose and KR lose then when do we get to lift the trophy? Do we just not get a chance? Not really been thought through this one.

Plus it gives Hull Kr an advantage of knowing their likely destiny if we win. They could rest players if the points or points difference to Warrington is too big.

Completely rips up the last shreds of this trump-esque conspiracy theory about the RFL being in Wigan's pockets

Moving away from the off field stuff, I don't buy that Salford will rest up Thursday now they've guaranteed a playoff spot, surely they will hope to secure a home qualifier in fourth position (rather than rely on Leigh beating Saints).

Will need to be as good as we were against Leeds but for longer periods if they pick a strong lineup.

Who’s said Salford will rest up? That would be madness.

Salford will be well up for the game in the hope of getting a home play off tie. They might not be quite as desperate as they would've been had they needed a win to secure a spot in the play offs at all but they'll be far from pushovers.

I'm glad in a way that we need the win for the shield. It should lead to a far better atmosphere in the ground (although granted probably not as good as Friday would've been).

Saw quite a few posts on Twitter for them to win last night and rest up ready for the playoffs.

Salford will go full strength as they need the win to stay 4th and guarantee a home playoff game

HKR will have already named their squad by Thursday, so there wont be that much scope for them to play their reserves if we win.

Even if we beat Salford Hull KR will likely still need to win on Friday to keep hold of 2nd place.

Yes, thats true, its odd that sky have moved the games to different days as it takes some of the drama out of it?

I think we (salford) will be resting players, I really doubt sneyd will play for a start as this new rule came in this year a player has to play amount of minutes, says in this article https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/salford- ... les-93764/ With us not having a massive squad and very little time to rest this week I think rowley will rest half the squad. I be very suprise if you see lafai, Mcdonald, sneyd singleton & wright in the 13 on Thursday

Can't see Leigh overturning Saints.
