Wigan v wire all the way unless they get each other .

interesting Sneyd dropped, he's a confidence player for sure but Ellis is indecisive at the best of times.

Great defensive intensity from saints in the 1st half has won this one for them

They dropped the player who finished the regular season 2nd in try assists (one behind Brough) and 55 minutes in they are scoreless. He was also Castleford's top player for attacking kicks and third for tackle busts but I'm sure Powell knows what he's doing.

Finns worse but he is super coaches favourite,Cas are Bottlers.

Terrible decision by this year's Peter Gentle.

first signs that Sneyd is suffering the FC half-back curse, don't forget Pryce has also been dropped!

Good thing in it... Both fresh for next season eh .

Best thing the RFL have done making it 1v 4 and 2 v3 next season, too many mediocre teams in the play offs.

fully agree. 1 v 4 and 2 v 3 have been excellent, close, hard fought games this season

I guess the point is that the current format is ridiculous. Aside from the fact that the 8th place team have generally lost half their games, the week one 1v4 2v3 fixtures can quite easily be repeated in week three. Cas and Huddersfield knew that even by losing they can still make the Grand Final (as with Warrington v Saints in 2012 or Wigan v Leeds in 2010).

I liked the top 5 system personally.

Agreed, because the higher you finished the more favourable the route to the Grand Final.

I like the new top 4 straight knockout system; Short, simple and to the point.

I agree, nobody has taken to the top8 format, the teams that finish 5th-8th have generally made no impact (Leeds being the obvious exception) and crowds have been dire, and absolutely nobody likes the Clubcall stunt.

I think the new structure will make the 'big' teams perform every week, and not just coast in to the top4 and turn up for the playoffs like they do now.
