Play Off Question : Thu Sep 26, 2024 9:56 pm  

According to someone who knows a lot about the game If Saints win at Warrington then Wigan will play Saints next Saturday but will not play Warrington if they win. They will play the winners of Salford v Leigh at Home :READING

Correct.

One doesn't "need to know a lot about the game" to get this. It's not that complicated. We play the lowest ranked team that gets through the eliminators

THIS!

Sometimes people just try to over complicate things.

Yes, it’s not a fixed bracket, we will play the lowest ranked team who win this weekend which if Saints win will mean we play them. It’s a strange one because on current form Saints are probably the worst form/team of the 3 we could play but if we end up playing them that means they have just beat Warrington away and if that happens I will be a little worried. For me I’d rather play Salford and have Warrington and Hull KR in the other semi.

Ideal scenario is tonight's game is brutal with extra time and Wire coast past Saints tomorrow, we pick up the Salford/Leigh pieces next week while HKR/Wire have another slugfest.

That's incredible. Could they also tell us the lottery numbers for last week?

This has been a bit of a slugfest but nothing we should fear, Leigh have soaked it up well and finished Salford off well but if we are on our game we should beat Leigh convincingly.

So it's a derby day semi final next week regardless now.

Should be a great crowd expected (in fact I'd expect Leigh to fill the North Stand more than Saints).

Didn't watch the match tonight but heard that Josh Charnley suffered a horrendous injury and was stretchered off. Hoping for a swift recovery.
