Purely from a selfish logistical POV, I'd be happy with any of the above apart from Cas away, as it's the only one I wouldn't be able to get to on a Friday night!

Saints (A) or Cas/hudds ( H), Although ANY away game is a bit scarey given our recent away form

wk 1: Cas v Hudds, Saints v Wigan, Wire v Widnes, Leeds v cats....

wk 2: Saints v Leeds, Hudds v Wire

wk 3: Cas v Wire (clubcall), Wigan v Leeds

Final: Cas v Wigan

if cas win its saints away ,if cas lose its hudds at home.cant be anything else.like a home tie but saints should not pose any problem.

You'll snot us! I fear for us in that game.

If Cas draw it will be Cas at home any of those three combinations will be ok !

Cas being hammered by Cats. looks like Giants at home then.

Just confirmed Wigan v Hudds on thursday night. Cheers sky once again another game i cant attend due to work. Knobs

Apparently not...............we're playing Hudds Giants on Thursday.

Pity it's not Friday but settle for that

Wigan v Huddersfield - Thursday 8pm.
Saints v Cas - Friday 8pm.
Warrington v Widnes Saturday 2.45pm.
Leeds v Catalan Saturday 5.15pm.

I'm glad it's Thursday. We'll get at least a full week off if we lose.

Crowd will be shocking though. 7k?

so its

2 vs 3
1 vs 4
5 vs 8
6 vs 7

so 5-8 all sudden death matches with loser going out? and the winners playing the losers of the top 4? and the winners from the top 2 into the semi?

Think i would prefer to be Warrington in this play off series with a warm up game against Widnes then a slightly harder game against (bookies odds) cas or huddersfield and then a real a tough game against leeds or saints?

I think Castleford realised that if they lost to Catalan they would have an easy match in the playoff.

Think we will be lucky to get 7K on a Thursday

We played Hudds away in the exact same fixture last year and the attendance was 7100. If we can't beat that then that's fairly embarrassing!

Which probably included about 5,500 Giants fans so considering they'll bring 50-100 fans next week a crowd of other 7,000 would smash that to bits.

I doubt it'll top 8k which really is a poor showing for the game as a whole. It was a sign of the times on Thursday night when walking back to the car after the game I heard 2 kids (about 11-12 year old) talking about how the season was over now, basically saying now their season tickets have run out thats it.

I'm gutted its thursday, i have to choose between Wigan/Hudds and Everton/Wolfsburg..and as a supporter of both,this can only end in heartbreak (for me)

So sorry to hear that, fellow Bluenose.

I feared the Saints game would be on the Thursday too so I would have to have make the choice myself. But given how the results went,I can now attend Goodison Park on Thursday and Langtree Park on Friday.

We managed 15,500 last Thursday. If the prices are set realistically (ie £15 adults, £10 owd gits, and £5 for kids), then there should be a five figure crowd on.

think we might bring a shade over 150 for this one

If we win this week we get a week off. If we lose we have a tough match the week after

If Warrington/Leeds win they have to play a tough match the week after, if they lose they are out

I don't like this play off system, but I'd still rather be in our situation than theirs

So if we win, and Saints loose do we end up with the club call?

Hudds could end up with club call if the top 2 lose

Yes, highest placed week 1 winner gets club call.
