Would you rather finish second or third?

It's the difference of playing home or away in the first match, we look better away from home this year.

Depends on where at I guess. But generally we are better away from home.

I agree, I'm not worried about which position we finish in as long as we're in it. But I am expecting us to win the majority of our last 5 games, which should give us a good chance of top 3.

Big ask to finish second. Given the points difference and unlikelihood of drawn games we are effectively four points behind Warrington with five games left. Reallistically we'd have to win all five. Saints will not rest anyone in round 29 as they have the following week off.

We could do with Rovers beating Wigan next weekend.

We could do with Hull winning their next couple, ideally by very big margins.

Saints can't be caught, so how they treat the last few games, with Wembley to come, is anybody's guess. Warrington have some tough games, I can see them missing out on 2nd unless they beat saints on Thursday.
I suppose teams are all playing each other, so some teams will be dropping points.
