Finish 4th and you travel to Wigan with absolutely nothing to lose, win and your 80mins away from the GF, lose and you get a second bite of the cherry at home. Finish 5th and you get a home tie vs Cas or Crusaders, win that game and you travel to somewhere like Warrington and more than likely, lose. Even if you were to pull off a shock win there, you would then have to do it all again (away from home). But anyway..
I agree with you but......
I just wonder if 5th, win at home, momentum then to go away and play a team who must have had a battle the week before. Would it give us a better chance? Dunno, guess time will tell! Personally, I will be happy with winning a playoff game, after the last two seasons of rubbish we have endured.
