Wigan still slight favs

8/5 wigan
7/2 wire

suprised its not the other way round after todays performance , although bookies are rarley wrong. Leeds not good enough this year , Saints too old, the winner has to be either Wire or Wigan

TBH I don't care would rather be at Wembley today

we've just had our best season for years, blooded more youngsters than most teams do in 5 seasons and signed real quality for next year.

Never expected to win the GF this year but with other teams injuries (Leeds) getting old (saints) and lack of consistancy (wire) we have just as much chance as the usual subjects

next year is the year I would expect us to be challenging anything this year would be a brucie bonus

Must agree. I would put Wire as favourites however they are likely to have to get past their bogie team first. The chances are one of us, St Helens, Wire and Leeds will win the GF. Wire are the only one with a clean bill of health and have the confidence and the experience of winning when it really matters. A few a writing Leeds off now but i think a few of them have a point to proove over tne next month. Still anybodies IMO.

What do you expect a player of any team in the playoffs to answer?

Leeds look busted to me, and they will have to play away, can't see them winning it.

Evryone is now saying Wire must be favourites to win. All the hype after them winning the challenge, cup, now they might well do, but i still think we're the best team in the league (proven) and we SHOULD win it.

If things go to plan and we win our first game (Hull/Leeds), then Warrington are going to have to beat Saints, probably at Knowsley Rd, to reach the GF.
Which century did that last happen in?

If we win our first play off game they're more than likely going to have to Play them twice.
