It will be Wigan, saints or Leeds just like it always is. I'd plump for Wigan on current form but injuries/ suspensions could well play a part.

Looks like Salford will be resting our entire backline v Wire, cannot wait to see how some of our youngsters perform, we've earned the opportunity to go full tilt at the play offs, will be an interesting contest and great challenge for our debutants. Keep Salford Red Devils at the AJ Bell !! https://www.change.org/p/salford-counci ... of-salford

Agree its gonna by one of those 3. Salford play some superb attacking rugby, but unfortunately for them that isn't what wins grand finals. The ability to win a low scoring forward battle is usually the key.

I think Salford can beat all of those 3 teams, but not backing it up in consecutive weeks unfortunately. I think a Wigan Salford final would be great, probably the best 2 teams to watch this season (spits in disgust at praising Wigan).

Tomorrow will be the end to a memorable season for all the wrong reasons. How far have we regressed ?

Good luck Salford in the play offs & take that Red Devil title back .

This season Salford and Rowley are the standout team and coach for me. I enjoy watching them (as a neutral), they definitely have a brand and have once again been very astute putting their squad together.

However, I am in a proper quandary as I'm 'exiled' IN Salford, so know plenty of Salford fans (mostly decent), some are good mates. My in-laws too are Salford and yet I'm not sure I'd want them to break through and win the GF, if this doesn't sound mean spirited or barking mad hoping for a continuation of Saints/Wigan dominance?

Here are my (personal) reasons, in no particular order,

1 I'm a bit numb to Saints or Wigan winning it, a form of mental repetitive strain injury, after a couple of beers soon forgotten
2 I want us to be 'that' team and wishfully think we can go on a run with our clout, whereas would Salford's win be a Leicester City one off
3 I'd never hear the end of it
4 I've two Grandsons one has been to a Salford GF, who I could get back to our side if we had a team worth watching at the HJ (I've held off this year for obvious reasons)
5 As bad as they are Wigan and Saints aren't Widnes...yes I know, I know we've risen above that palaver now

If you can’t be selfish as a supporter, when can you?
