Saints or KR? : Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:06 am  

Sunday afternoon sees Saints travel to KR.

Do you want Saints to win to strengthen our hold on third but remove the chance of the hubcap or KR to win to keep us in the race for the top spot but allow them to catch up to 1 point behind us?

Difficult call but I think Saints to win as I cannot see us overtaking Saint AND Leeds and I would like the comfort blanket of 3 points before our game v Bradford.

Let Saints or Leeds have top spot. Winning the league doesn't get as much recognition as it should IMO. I'd rather HKR lose as we might drop a few league points in the next 2 weeks due to Wembley jitters.

3rd place is within your control, top 2 isn't.

Always aim for what you can control.

We just need Saints to beat Leeds then 2nd is in our control. Not too much to ask for is it?

Well there is a matter of points difference,

As I say, you're in third, you can control if you stay there or not.

Hope for top 2, aim for 3rd. That'd be my advice.

2 points guarantees us a top 4 place. We need that after this weekend..

I would be happy with a Saints win and a win for us.

We are then sure for 4th minimum and 5 pts ahead of HKR with 3 to play. If we ensure we beat Celtics 3rd is then in the bag. [That said 3rd / 4th does not make too much difference as we do not know ,and cannot control, who is 1st / 2nd.]

With top 4 in the bag we could rest as many players as possible versus Saints ahead of the CCF AND rest players against Wigan ahead of the play offs. As the race for 1st / 2nd could go down to the last game saints & Leeds may not have the luxury of resting players (+ we play well away from home).

First things first......beat the Bulls.

I think Saints win and us to beat the bulls would make me happy.

Would love to beat the Bulls..hopefully the lads will be up for it as there is a final place up for grabs although I worry that last weekend will have taken a lot out of them.
