I think he said that he didnt want it presented untill the last game of the season, rather than have results go so they "win it at the DW on the last game of the season. For that to happen they would need to lose the next game, hope wire win the next game (if they both lose, or Wigan win, then Wigan will in effect have "won" it at Craven Park anyway). If that happens they will have to win at home in the last game.

All of which is pretty well irrelevant anyway as the only way Wire or Saints can overtake Wigan is for wigan to lose 2, saints/wire to win 2, and on top of that make up over 100 points difference on Wigan so for all practial purposes Wigan have already won it.

Hilarious. Warrington are on equal points with Saints in joint 2nd and a marginal points difference advantage, so you are saying they'll surrender 2nd and home advantage in the first play-off without a fight by putting the academy team out. And the follow-up that Leeds will give up 4th and it's 2nd attempt advantage is also a bit odd, particularly since they've smashed us twice already this season. Are you quite well?

Oh they'll be trying, but if you offered Leeds the Challenge Cup and fifth right now, they'd take it. While Wire won't put out an academy team, I strongly suspect a few will be rested. Hull have to treat whatever 17 they face with respect, of course. Any game is difficult to predict in SL, but if the bookies give Hull the start in either game that would be very attractive.

Wigan have the top sewn up, no matter what the league table says, the points diff is enormous, they will rest players on Sunday, but we will be without two centres and will probably play Newton and Cockayne in there. I can see us shocking them and winning at Crusaders.

Wire will be all out to beat Hull as its a 2nd place spot up for grabs

Leeds will field a full side against Hull as they will want 6th

My prediction is we will meet FC at our place in round 1

Wigan could also be down 2 centres, Gleeson is deffo out and Carmont got a hand injury last night. Could be Marsh & Charnley lining up against us!

Why Wigan rest players when they have a week off the following week ?

Wonder how the crowd would take him getting a hat trick against us and then coming back for the Crusaders game

Stop f***ing about with my theories

We discussed theories for all teams at work.....our heads were spinning in the end

I honestly think Wigan will want to confirm the trophy this week-end so it will be a tough day at the office for you lot..
I think Wire will want to cement 2nd so a tough day at the office for us..
And if you want the truth I would sooner have Leeds (cup hangover) than travel to Crusaders who will be fighting hammer & tong for a top 8 finish for the final game...

Well that is my theory

Whatever happens it would be good to get a derby in the play off, we owe you one this season and I fancy us beating you over both Hudds and leeds TBH.
