Quote spegs="spegs"Why? Two points puts us in a stronger position. You talk about "free hits" and the "long game". Cliched nonsense. Lose the free hits you talked about earlier in the season and we are currently third / fourth with no guarantee of a play off place.'"
But we are guaranteed a playoff place.
A loss tomorrow and the worst that happens is we're second, a point behind the top. That's assuming Warrington go to France and win, which is a pretty hard task following Catalans week off and a battered & bruised Wire side.
Then we still have Wire & Wigan to play to re-earn that top spot, and we'll do so with our best players fresher and ready to go.
Having said all that, the 17 tomorrow (even if a couple of big players drop out) is still capable of beating Saints.
