This is a mirror conversation to the one about London going down. Will London go down? Probably. Is it great that they are making a good fight of it? Yes absolutely.

Will Wakey win the grand final? No probably not. Is it good that another team is in the mix? Yes of course.

Their away form will rule out a top 5 finish. Definitely top 8 though.

Can Wakefield make the grand final?

Not if Sky, The RFL, Councillor Box or those pesky kids have anything to do with it!

Only joking anyone in the top 5 can - it would be good if it was someone new.

Nearly 25 years of Superleague and still only 4 names appeared on the trophy. Even more telling only 7 clubs have appeared in the grand final out of 22 current and former super league clubs.

The competition is crying out for some new blood at the top table.

It would be a remarkable achievement from Million pound game to Grand Final in 4 years.

Think back to 2017 - had it not been for a Grix brainfart against Saints, we'd have got the experience of a semi-final under our belt for certain. And the way we were playing, I'd have backed us to win at Cas in that semi-final.

I'm sorry and I know its hypothetical but you had a chance in August 17 to ruin our night by preventing us winning the LLS against you, you came to play that night but we still dispatched of you with relative ease so I really don't think we'd have lost the play off semi to Wakefield. Saints still had plenty of experience and talent in that side and gave us a lesson on play off rugby. We got the lesson and luckily came through it but then lost our best player 48 hours before and the rest is history.

Whats wrong with our away form? Only played 4 away games, won 2, hardly poor.

Yeah its hypothetical so you can't know that can you, every day and every game are different.

We lost twice at home in 2017, once against hull, a week before the semi final when we rested 10 players and to saint helens first game of the superb 8s. No way would we have lost to Wakefield at home. Plenty of logic to suggest saints or Leeds or even Wigan or hull had they finished 4th but not Wakefield that season.

This season they could, but a lot depends on luck with injuries as it does most sides. The top 2 do look significantly better than the rest.

This bit i'm getting sick of seeing Saints & Warrington are not miles ahead of the rest of us,There both good sides the main difference is there both consistent than the rest of us, They beat Wakey with 2 mins to go and that day with the amount of procession wakey had on there line we should have scored a lot more than we did BUT we didn't and there won so there not miles ahead just a good team.

We’re 8 points ahead of you. We’re miles better as are Warrington.
