Not a chance we are playing to finish 4th.

Well 4th it is played for or not.

I wonder if we played for the advantage loss for an easy home tie?

Why’s that duckie? I thought Warrington were miles ahead of Wigan and you’d go unbeaten for the rest of the season?

Think what you like...you bought yourself a tough game Vs Saints to soften you up before getting smashed in the Pie Dome by Wire.

Hang on you told us we were going to finish 2nd so hows it got to we lost to go 4th for an home game

Sad thing is you probably believe that

If Matty Smith starts again it’s highly likely Castleford will beat us. Probably the one of the worst signings we’ve ever bought.

Not even close. I haven't got all night though.

Remove the cup and our form stinks. We can’t stitch together three or four huge performances.

Yep

I just don't see how we beat Cas, then the loser of Wigan v Salford to even have a sniff of Old Trafford

Just a short-term loan signing, so you can breath easier.

How can Wire finish 4th in a two horse race? Wigan finish 2nd in a relegation battle. London almost stay up. It has been a funny unpredictable season. I wonder what further twists and turns we will see?

We've had our day (literally) in the sun and based on our form in the second half of the season we have hugely over achieved with a CC win and 4th place.

Wigan are full of confiidence and at their grubby best, Saints will be frothing at the mouth in anticipation of revenge and Salford have the measure of us.

I'd be content to exit with dignity intact based on our league form of the last three months.

Wire double.
The team is simply too strong.

We’ve won only four in our last 13 league matches. Now some are expecting us to win four on the bounce and become Champions? Nah, don’t think so.

Short term signing that’s has potentially costs us getting to a GF, I’d rather have an 80% fit Kev Brown or the inconsistent Patton any day of the week.

Inconsistent Patton?...the lad improved fairly steadily however small the increment and the odd stepback on the way. Not quickly enough for many but it's interesting that the last 'filthy' run of garbage must really be eating away at the Patton haters.

What`s the assessment now m o ?

No team from outside the top two have won Superleague from outside first or second position.

They will this year....BTW you mean with a top 5 play off... leeds did it twice top 6 and 8 format I think.

Out of 3rd/4th/5th Salford and Castleford definitely have the best chance, can’t see them winning it though so it’s out of Saints and Wigan imo

I don't think you'll find many that will disagree with you.
We've got one trophy, which although it masks a pretty awful 2nd half of the season, will keep our chins up until 2020 whatever happens.

Happy with the 1 trophy this year. Not good enough for the Grand Final. I can see Saints doing what we did in 2016, getting to the 2 finals and only coming away with the "League Leaders Trophy". Wigan to win the Grand Final.

I agree with this but perhaps the vast majority of wire fans will be left frustrated especially with such a good first half of the season & the early promise shown. That coupled with our misfiring attack and lack of fire power in the pack, it’s been a steady run of poor performances since June. Defeat on Thursday will no doubt leave a sour taste towards Price and his tactics.
