if sts beat Salford next Thursday,wakey will have no real incentive to beat wigan on the Saturday.

20-38 game over.

I support the concept of the Grand Final for the drama and publicity it brings, but youve got to say Cas have been far and away the best side this year. They are still racking up the wins in dead rubber ties

With you there Dave
Leeds for me

Ben Roberts confirmed as back for Cas on Friday. Without wanting to sound overly negative I can't see us getting anything from that game - only chance really is Wakefield getting a result.

We've played them three times and beat them twice, and this season when it has really mattered we've come up trumps. I'm confident of a win. Also if we win, Cas know they won't play us in the semi, might this influence their team selection?

Wish I could share your confidence.
Must be odds on one of either Saints or Wigan get a result this coming week and odds against we get a result at the Mend-a-Hose where only one other team have tasted victory all season.

Ba amazed if Cas play a full strength team against us.....

pity all next weeks games aren't all played on same night.

it makes it exciting but heat could be off on Thursday if Salford beat Saints
