What do people think?

Saints have two very losable games (Warrington and Huddersfield). Cas have us and Catalan away. Points difference is about the same, and if Cas win both and Saints lose theirs, they'll make it up.

Hell of an achievement if they do it. And it's doable.

My own view is that Cas are the only team these to have been consistently good. Saints haven't been good at all, for a team at the top.

If we play like we did today then the chance of top spot will be ended by you guys. I think next week could be a tight game.

Yes agree.

Also going to Catalan at this time of year will be very tough, we were flagging in todays conditions.

I hope they do finish top because it would be well deserved after the great season they have had.





Also it would pee the RFL off for an unfashionable club to be top of the league

Despite today's great team performance we are still down on firepower up front with only 3 genuine front rowers available and Dan Smith who's still young for a prop and splits his time between front and back row.

Against a genuinely good team in good form we might get hurt by being light in the pack. Therefore I expect us to be up against it when playing Cas on their own stomping ground.

Darryl Powell has signalled his intent to finish top otherwise I might have suggested Cas would rest a couple in preparation for the play off games

We all know finishing top doesn't mean anything nowadays

How about this for a compromise?
We beat them next week and they finish second. We sneak in to the 8 and then go on to meet Cas in the final at Old Trafford. Win/win for the Wakefield district and a double whammy for the RFL!!!

Very torn on this as dont really want our main rivals to finish top but seen Saints get loads of big decisions this season including fridays win. What really bugs me is Gansons involvement in our game cost us and could cost us top 8 If you look at it from that point of view. Wasnt he on the team of refs for the Leeds Saints game?

I'd swap places with them. To clubs like Cas and us it does.

The next time Wakey do it, I will be celebrating

I will go with that

I think they'll finish second and it will still be a hell of an achievement.

Sts play Warrington on Thursday night so top spot could be decided 4 days before we play Cas. I'd expect Powell to rest a couple of key players ahead of the play offs if Sts have wrapped it up

Powell won't be resting anyone. We could still finish top or 6th which makes a world of difference come play off time.

Today we were ok nothing flash but got the job done despite a busy week on and off the field.hope you lot turn out in good numbers next week.

I think both teams can be very pleased with their seasons after all this game was supposed to be a relegation decider.!!

Can you imagine Dennis Betts' face if this happened and we won?

Nice one. The other thing is by the time we go to Catalans they could be in a position where the result won't make any difference to where they finish so they could rest some against us. Congrats on a great result today.

Something wrong here. Cas & Wakey fans being nice to each other



Some gobpoop will come and spoil it tho.

For me, Saints could be the worst team to top the table if they do it. Normally there is a team that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Saints seem to have clawed their way through the season. If they finish top, fair play, but I can't think of a less impressive team to do it.

If Cas do it, I'd be pleased. Local rivalries aside, it's fairytale stuff. They could well be flying out to Catalan knowing all they need to do is win. Undoubtedly they are the team of the year, and hats off to Daryl Powell. From the Championship to coach of the year.

Absolutely spot on, but I just can't get giddy about Cas doing well, the other way round and we'd be covered in bile and spit, they have no love for us, sorry no fairy tail here, as of yet they've won the same as us, funk all! Yeah very juvenile I know, but that's how I feel at the moment.

You Normy boys!

I suppose if Saints lose on Thursday, we can turn up en masse to enjoy the burst of the bubble!

I know, I know, but that's how it is in Normy!

Cas wont finish top and the top 4 is no certainty.
It would be great to spoil their party IF we could get a result there next week.

Come on Trin !

No love for Cas from here either, I've seen and heard too many bitter insults over the years to change my ways. Saints to win the league and Cas to get knocked out in the early stages of the playoffs for me I'm afraid.

Ditto.

To wish Cas any form of success is madness. I accept they have done well but that's all they get from me.

This. I could just imagine the general feeling from over the Common if the roles were reversed.

The only thing it does is gives us hope, that with a good Coach (which we seem to have) and a few good players you can spoil the usual party at the top end of SL.

Saying all that, they've played some great rugby this season and will deserve whatever they get.
