Positives from the Wigan game : Sat Sep 20, 2014 7:31 pm  

Firstly not one post on here blaming Bentham
which makes a nice change.

Secondly we were so apalling we will get to play Catalans at home and hopefully give some o f the players a proper goodbye. I wonder if we will do what Warrington did for Monaghan etc
Thirdly if we beat Catalans,Saints have the club Call. They are bound to choose us.

That means that with a bit of luck we may get to the Grand final

The only downside is that we will be playing Wigan again and we can look forward to the worst ever winning margin in a grandfinal.

Thought the thread was about positives?

There weren't any really... They didn't get past 60 maybe?

If Cas win as well as us I think they'd pick the team that they have just nilled so we'd go away to Wigan again.

The only positives I can think of is the experience Connor and Johnson have got in this game. Losses can be as good a learning curve as winning.

I think we'd have a better chance without a week off. Unless Brough (not sure how is injury is going) needs another week to recover.

Looking at Leeds today we can stick twos up at any fans who says finishing in the 4 doesn't matter. Great teams like Leeds can be out and punished for finishing outside it.
Bring on one of the worst atmospheres in playoff history on Friday. hope we get it right this time!

Nah, we've played Catalan at home before in the playoffs...

hope faiumu gets a proper send off... but it might not be our last game so could do it the week after, or those that travel to away games will get a chance too.

Our fan's usually blame Bentham when he referee's us as well, but we don't moan about bentham when Silverwood refs us
