Just listening to bbc breakfast news and also reading the write up on last nights wigan game. They are saying that wigan is now guaranteed fifth place for the play offs.
But if we win tonight won't we go to fifth place?
or am I reading it all wrong

Points difference will keep Wigan above us (if we win) but they are not nailed on for 5th spot.

They're away to Shudds next week, so it open. I'f rather avoid 5th though if it meant playing an in form Bradford.

Cant see bradford making it, they would be relying on about 6 results going there way.

i know, nagging fear though. The thought of us losing to Cats to let them in to beat Wigan is tempting though.

everything i have read has said that Wigan have a guaranteed home tie, maybe thats what you have heard?

That'll be it. We technically secured a home tie but our points difference sealed it anyway when we beat Cas. We'd have had to have lost a combined 142-0 in the final two games at least to have messed up so was never going to happen.
