I thought the same

Sky, especially Hemmings, and the RFL would love this to happen, so they can do the helicopter rubbish on the 23rd flying about between KCom and DW

It was quite (very) funny but to be fair to Saints (difficult) it wasn't of their making. If Wigan beat us I wouldn't fancy having to go to Hull to stay in the top two.



Let's hope for a decent win on Friday and the opportunity to rest up one or two the following week

If Hull win Thursday, Wigan won't be able to win it regardless of how they do against us on Friday if my calculations are correct.

If Hull win and Wigan beat us, the table would us on 41 pts, Hull on 40 and Wigan on 40. If we then lost to Hull and Wigan won there last one then the table would be Hull and Wigan on 42 and us on 41.



It would go down to points difference. At present Hull have +103 more than Wigan. So it could be done, however very unlikely.

As an aside note, that Treble Winning team of Leeds last season, ended on 41 points, we could set a new record for highest points gained in the Super 8's 30 match season.



Last season we had 15 wins from 30 games, this season we are currently on 20.

If Hull and Warrington both win this weekend, then that is 1st and the LLS for us and 2nd guaranteed Hull with an opportunity for both coaches to rest up the majority of players the following week. This could result in a second 13 match at the KCOM.



If Saints also win then they will be level on points with Wigan with a game to go. I would hazard a guess that Points difference will decide 3rd and 4th. Will this mean that both go hell for leather in the final game hoping to get 3rd. Or will Saints also rest a few up with a then likely trip to their Second Home and a likely easier route to the final.

Spot on, pretty much what I had in mind. Hopefully it won't matter and we'll get the job done Friday.

If we are assured top Saints will be fighting like mad to stay 4th

I can't see past a Warrington win if we get saints at home. Not with the fresh legs we'll have coming back. I don't think Sandow was fully recovered from his injury when we brought him back. giving him this rest could see him coming back and taking on the line with the spontaneous play he had at the start of the season. Having Daryl Clark fresh for the last semi final and final would be unreal.

And if we lose & Hull lose this week ,Wigan could finish top if Hull beat us next week & Wigan beat Les Cats.

After the League Leaders Shield was put back into the box, on that night.



Saints subsequently won it anyway. They also won the Grand Final.....Admittedly thanks to Mr Ben Flower.
