After today, I'm more sure than ever that we will get there
We played really well, just unlucky
Hopefully that result will spur us on, not deflate us
I think it will
Come on!

We will have to cut out the stupid penalties otherwise we may very well choke in our next big knockout game.

You should imo finish top if saints and wolves make cc final as it always fooks teams up the week before and after the cc final.

I just have a feeling that wigan may choke when the big games come around, we know saints and leeds raise there games in big games.

I am going for saints v leeds at old trafford

Just said same thing mate

Same players every week though isnt it, we may have to cut them out to take the next step.

When did Saints last win a big game against the odds?

I feel exactly the same. Because we'll get these games at Wigan (if we keep at the top or at least 2nd) and that'll be an edge for us. I'm convinced that today and the play off v Saints last year would have been won had we played the games at Wigan. Maybe even the 2008 Play Off v Leeds as well.

We have a nice cushion with Saints and Wire visiting us and Leeds away will be a week before the cup semi. So could work out nicely for us.

The point i was trying to make, saints and leeds know how to get to grand finals, we know what it takes.

Saints know how to get to cc finals also, saints and leeds play knock out rugby better than any other team.

What you mean by against the odds?

Finish top and we will get there IMO.

Wigan, Warrington, Saints & Leeds in final 4

Wigan to pick Leeds, get revenge & win, Saints to beat Warrington as usual and us to beat Saints at OT

They do. Getting in the top 2 is the way to do it. Not sure it'll be that easy if both or either have to go away. But we'll see. Ages off yet.

I know what your saying and im not saying because im a saints fan but if saints and leeds go in to the play offs with full strength squads i think they can both make the finals from any postion, i also think wigan can make the final from anywhere in the top 8 but feel you will now finish top with not being involved in the challenge cup.

If we do come top, will be interesting to see the fixtures for latics. Potentially we could need 3 weekends free for home advantage or face the farce of a couple of years ago

I was looking forward to Wire vs Wigan CC final,looks like we will have to play each other at OT then.

IF we could get a home draw in the cup...
