| Quote sergeant pepper="sergeant pepper"Last season I wouldn't have swapped the cup for anything. That's simply because we hadn't won it at Wembley in over a decade.
This season I've always said the CC is the bottom of my list tho. Its not what it was and winning it last year was OK but meant nothing when we lost our title.
I'd take our current situation now over Wires any day as I don't think anyone wins the double anymore. We saw our season fall apart this time last year and with the ultimate respect to Wire history points to that same fate for them.
A week off to collect ourselves, then a possible trophy presentation vs Saints at home to boost moral isn't a bad place to make a shot at the gf from.
Last week & the CC will mean nothing if we win at old traff'"
I would take the GF or CC over the shield every day of the week and it appears that Tony Smith and Wire would too. |

| The SL is fast losing what little remains of its credibility as a serious competition.
Yes many clubs struggle after playing Wigan, in what is inevitably their biggest game of the season, but this heavy defeat for Wire is a joke.
Is there any point in the regular rounds any more? Does the competition have any integrity?
Yet another low for RL.
Will the RFL do anything about this? Of course not. Wire have a wealthy backer and the RFL are spineless and utterly incompetent.

Similarly, anyone who says they'd rather lift a trophy on Sept 7th than Oct 6th is equally as deluded.'"
Absolutely, and if the situation was reversed, I'd want our big guns rested too.
Not that I'm not enjoying this mind... |

You hit the nail on the head, but as a supporter, I would have hoped we'd have kept the pressure on top spot until the death. Ah well, pick ourselves up, dust down and go again next week. There'll be bigger games to play over the coming weeks for most clubs! |

Time to back that up with a win on Monday restore the 3 point cushion.
Winning the league leaders shield vs Saints at home has to be the kind of motivation & boost we are crying out for.

Are you expecting Richards, Tommy and any other injuries back for play off time?

No its not.
Win the shield ASAP and rest as many as we can for Saints, They might have to win the last game of the season to remain in the top 4. We have learnt nothing from last season. Instead of resting players against Crusaders we went into the last game of the season with as close to a full team as possible and lost the following week to Saints where we looked tired and that was the case at Saints for the final play off game.
If we go 3 points clear then we should aim to finish top before we play Saints and give us a rested side ready to go in the play offs unlike last season and we looked tired already last week against Wire. |

 I thought only I could see the bigger picture than just beating Saints. |
