Tonight and tomorrow the last four teams remaining in the play offs for this season get underway in what should be 2 cracking games of rugby league.
First off tonight SkySports1 (kick off 8pm) St Helens take on Huddersfield. Saints finished 2nd in the normal season and won their first playoff game against Warrington to qaulify for the semis. Huddersfield first beat Celtics then a suprise win against Warrington last week put them into the last4.
Saints have a full strength side apart from Leon Pryce. They will be aiming to reach their 5th successive Grand Final at Old Trafford.
Tonights game is abit more than just a semi final as it will be the last game ever to be played at Knowsley Road before we move to a new stadium.
It will be tough but im going for a hard win for St Helens.
Come on you Saaaaints!!!!
Then tomorrow SkySports2 (kickoff 5:15pm) Current champions Leeds take on Wigan which will be a repeat of the first play off game 2 weeks ago. Leeds won that game 26-27 and I expect tomorrows game will be just as close.
Wigan finished the season 1st with Leeds coming 4th but Leeds have hit form going into the playoffs as they usually do. They have won the Grand Final for the past 3 years. Even though Wigan have been the better side this year I betting Leeds will take this and set up a 4th Grand Final in a row with St Helens.
But this year Saints will be victorious:boxing:
Even if you are a Union fan you should try and watch these games, should be a couple of belters!
