This is how I expect/hope they will go from this final table:

1 Wigan

2 Saints

3 Wire

4 Hull

5 Huddersfield

6 Leeds

7 Hull K R

8 Crusaders



Week 1

Wigan beat Hull

Saints lose to Wire

Huddersfield beat Crusaders

Leeds lose to Hull K R



Week 2

Hull lose to Huddersfield

Saints beat Hull K R



Week 3

Wigan beat Huddersfield

Wire beat Saints



Grand Final

Wigan v Warrington



If Saints had both half-backs fit, then I would pick them to beat Warrington.

I wouldnt write Leeds off yet they will be hurting after last week. Dark horses for me are Huddersfield they seem to have hit some form at the right time.

I like making Saints/Wire play each other twice... Even if Wire can shake the hoodoo, can they do it twice?

That's why I have them in the last 4. I think Wigan would rather select them than have a derby against Wire or Saints.

The only change I'd make to that is in Week 1 with Saints beating Wire.



I just can't see Wire beating Saints twice in the space of 14 days.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that one but without Pryce and Eastmond I don't think they'll be quite good enough.

Wigan v Leeds

Saints v Wire

Hudds v Crusaders

Hull v Hull KR



Wire v Hull KR

Leeds v Hudds



Wigan v Hudds

Saints v Wire



Wigan v Saints in the final for me

Week 1

Wigan beat Leeds

Saints beat Wire

Huddersfield beat Crusaders

Hull FC beat Hull K R



Week 2

Leeds lose to Huddersfield

Wire beat Hull FC



Week 3

Wigan beat Huddersfield

Wire beat Saints



Grand Final

Wigan v Warrington

The one that matters for us is getting Saints in the Semi Final depends who you pick.



In a way im not fussed about losing on friday becuase we get another chance the week after but i do want this hoodoo over Saints to end ASAP.

I didn't expect Radford to get sent off so the Leeds' win was a surprise for me.

However I still expect the same teams to reach the last four.

I have a feeling Nobby may just work his play off magic and shock a few

I can see crusaders beating huddersfield but they would lose to the top 4 losers after that i would think



Anyway next weekend is 4 cracking matches, bring it on!!!
