Leeds and Saints win this weekend

Wigan win in week 2

Saints have the pick in the semis - would they dare choose us in the last ever match at Knowsley Road?

I doubt it considering we beat them there this year when they had a stronger side to field (arguably as they may have Eastmond back but had both Eastmond AND Pryce in that game iirc)

However, they would love their last game there to be against us (as would I if it wasnt in those circumstances) but I doubt they'd do it as they'd rather get to OT.

don't wigan get the pick if they win or loose?

No, it's the highest placed winners after week 1 who get the pick.

No, the highest ranked week 1 winner does

aaagh, so the talk i've heard of us avoiding wire is misleading. If we loose on sunday, then win next game, i would have thought we'll get wire.

Providing saints beat them on friday that is....all ifs and buts....hehe, we just need to concentrate on winning on sunday, come on wigan!!

If Wigan don't beat Leeds on Sunday - with their on-field problems, the players want shooting.

If us and wire both lose in week 1 we can't meet in week 3

I didn't think that they have many missing?

It's WHO they have missing, more than anything. They're short of forwards mainly. Those that they have all seem to be carrying knocks.

yeah i'd agree, going of their recent performances,... but they are leeds, lets not right them off and think its going to be a walk over....

very true, missed that, if wire win who would they choose??

You're right not to write them off. I'm not saying they should, but Wigan at their best with their currently available players are better Leeds at their best with their currently available players.

If you switch off against any SL team, you will lose against them. Bradford and Harlequins were testament to that this season.

Would we not get home advantage due to league placement?

Only if we won in week 1. If we lost then we'd
Play week 2 at home, but then if we won that we'd have to travel to play in week 3.
