----------------- OT?
The SL play-offs start this weekend, so which two do you reckon will be at M16 come GF Day?
Will there be a new team there? Leythers perhaps?
Might we even have a new name on the trophy?
Personally, the more I think of it, the more I'm convinced that it'll be a repeat of twelve months ago, and then who knows?
One thing's for sure, I'll be there!

I'm taking someone to their first game with The charity Gig Buddies I'm involved with, sat in the accessible section. Which should be interesting. Pretty sure that is where i stood for Widnes winning the Premiership
Leeds will peak at the right time 😉

1) Hope (s)he loves it!
2) Won't be the first time if they do!

Well Leythers are just eighty minutes from M16 after a fine show last night. Can they now win at the Piedome to reach the GF?
I thought the Powell Patrol would've pushed 'em, but the hosts were dominant.
Wakey have nowt to be ashamed of at all, coz to make the play-offs after having your mob, and mine on their fixture list as recently as last term, is summat special.
Rhinos v Saints tonight? I'm not even gonna hazard a guess! Will Leeds "peak" as Gofyn suggests? Should be a cracker!
Spelly.
When you think you've seen it all, summat like that finish tonight happens, to prove you wrong.
The game we love is beautiful, but it can be soooooooooooo cruel!
Twenty-five years after "Wide to West" we had the after the hooter "Wide to Wright" to break Leeds' hearts, and send Saints to CP next week on the highest of highs. Unbelievable ending!
Hope Matty Lees arrived in time for the birth of his child.

I thought Leeds were robbed last night. Saints next to last try was short.
I couldn’t understand why , when it was sent to the video ref, he didn’t look at all the angles, on the ones he looked at , you couldn’t be sure if it was short of the line or not, so the video ref gave a try.
But then while waiting to take the conversion , they showed another angle, that clearly showed it was short of the line.
Why didn’t they show that angle to the video ref?
There are many times when the video ref's pics are blurred and nothing like as clear as the TV pics that we get!!
Lomax looked very sluggish around the scrum to me at least, but Connor can't keep his mouth shut sledging tackled players etc , not a good practice.
The game is 80 minutes long no matter what the score and Saints are notorious for rescuing themselves.
Thought that Tomkins made a good point regarding Saints not taking points from their penalties. As Wayne Bennett says 'Always take the two!!!!

That's the worst statement ever.
@farnworth-viking Spot on never a try in a million years we have the best technology in sport but blind men reviewing it clearly short and double movement.
As they say read it in the papers
Not Degsy apparently, who is allegedly calling off/forfeiting Friday's match over ticket allocation... 😀
Is there anything he won't do for a headline?!

If the threat goes ahead, and I'm far from convinced it will, what sort of a punishment(s) would Leythers receive? Massive is the answer! Huge fine? Points deduction to start next season?
Would / could Wakey fill the gap? But conversely, are they in a position to do so at such short notice if it arose? Players may have booked a last minute trip to Benidorm!
Sky's changed schedule? Re-runs of epic SL play-offs, meaning the loss of countless viewers?
It was the opener on 5Live's sport news broadcast. Not everyday RL has that!
Another three Lions and I were planning to attend, but we're giving it a swerve coz of the agro.
I repeat, I'm not at all sure the game will be off, but has Beaumont gone too far with this?

Just seen a report that Leeds would be the first team to be offered the (potentially) vacant spot, as they finished higher than Wakey, but......
Whatever transpires, it's a(nother) can of worms for the game!
Spelly.
I don’t think they’ll call it off, just Degsy after publicity.
Leigh are also saying they’ve got an illness running through the team, and half the players haven’t trained at all this week.
I wonder what the odds are on them all being fit on Friday?
There's 0 chance of the game being off, and even less chance of another club filling it. If it did come to it then surely the rules will be a bye for Wigan, as it would with any other competition.
Just posturing and getting excuses in early. The other thing is it sounds like they have been given a decent allocation anyway. Just because it's local why does the clown think they should get loads of tickets?
Want more tickets, easy, just finish in the top 2 in the league!
