The hard truth is that to get to Old Trafford, we are going to have to do something that we have not managed thus far this year, which is put in a massive 80 minute performance against either Wire or Saints away from home. If we concentrate for 80 minutes and dont drop off like we did at the end last night, it is possible, but anything short of that level of performance and we'll probably end up disappointed. Our best bet would be, as has probably been already mentioned, a Catalan win at Wigan, which could well see us at Saints rather than Wire, (their choice permitting of course!), but even a trip away to a young St Helens side, would still need the massive effort mentioned above!

The +'s far out weigh the -'s imo but as has been posted we need a complete 80 minutes performance to compete with Wire and ST's.

What i will add is we know we can play better and are still only 80minutes away from O/T which is a huge improvement on our early season form and inept efforts against the top 4 prior to the CC.

I think Wire are too strong but i do honestly think we can take Wigan or ST's so the key is the Dragons beating the Pies and we end up at the scousers.

Brown's chokers choked. Obviously.



Now down to the real business.



However it pans out I would love another crack at Wigan.
