So, Leeds go to Saints and Wire to Cats. Which day for which match?

Cats are Thursday, Saints are Friday.

Did Wire beat KR already?

I've just realised I've automatically awarded tomorrow's game to my team. Hope that one doesn't come back to bite me.

That’s nearly as funny as Widdop being in the running for man of steel.

Lam is totally clueless. Taking off our hooker for a second row.

How though?

I thought first played 4th or 5th?

Saints and Cats get a week off, there won't be 5th because they'll get knocked out this week.

First plays the lowest placed team.

Catalans play the lowest team left in the play offs.

If KR beat Warrington, which seems to already have been decided anyway, KR will play Catalans.

Yes, you're right. I'll carefully amend that to HKR to Cats, Leeds to Saints. Works better.

I'm sure nobody will remember this post and quote it, should KR win. In fact, I'm almost 100% positive they won't.

Ha ha, that last tackle play just summed this match up perfectly, absolutely shambolic. 

[Cheshire Setter]

Kristian Woolf must think he's Winston Wolf if he's expecting to fix Hurrell's issues.

Reminiscent of most of your posts.

1. Lam looking like it's his last game in charge.

2. Long has enough hair for the whole of the Leeds management team.

3. Leeds show Wigan how to kick goals.

4. That Betfred pitch ad. is getting on my nerves.

I'll be back in 5 lads, just googling "how to take out a restraining order"....

Would be unfair on the u13s to proclaim typicality in such moves, so I won’t. 

[Mark S]

For a team with so many long term injuries, Leeds seem to be able to get them up and running very quickly during the match.

Maybe he's worried Wigan are being too flamboyant in attack....

[Davo5]

That was a knock on,how can Hicks miss that.

Wigan already have that covered somewhere on their website.

just look up “Completely warped TRL poster called DKW” and all will be clear.

[Man of Kent]

Atrocious Wigan attack. What’s happened to the Jackson Hastings who used to pull the strings for Salford and led them to a GF? Or the Ollie Gildart who used to step and beat defenders? Or the mercurial ‘SL’s best fullback’ Zak Hardaker? 

[Cheshire Setter]

It's good to have these pre-season games early to shake off that rustiness. I'm just not used to seeing them before the actual previous year's grand final.
