Super League play-off predictions<\/p>\n
Leeds Rhinos v Warrington Wolves \u2013 Friday, 25th September @ 8:00 pm<\/p>\n
Peter Smith: Leeds 22-18 Warrington<\/p>\n
The visitors have to be favourites, based on recent form and Rhinos\u2019 injury setbacks, however, Leeds will start winning knockout games at some point and now would be a good time.<\/p>\n
Sam Cook: Leeds 14-21 Warrington<\/p>\n
It\u2019s so hard to ignore Leeds\u2019 recent home form and now the injury issues are even more concerning. The loss to Wigan and probably even Leigh can easily be explained but the loss to Hull FC, the first game in a system designed without the injured Lachie Miller, was alarming. In contrast, Wire look to be growing stronger and they\u2019ll really fancy this now that Leeds\u2019 home form has dipped at a pivotal stage of the season.<\/p>\n
Sam Brocksom: Leeds 12-26 Warrington<\/p>\n
The losses of Miller, Handley and Bird are obviously a blow for Leeds, but this game is perfect for Wire skipper George Williams and young halves partner Ewan Irwin to take it to the two Dream Team halves and show that it really could be Warrington\u2019s year.<\/p>\n
Wigan Warriors v Wakefield Trinity \u2013 Saturday, 26th September @ 5:30 pm<\/p>\n
PS: Wigan 16-24 Wakefield<\/p>\n
Though it wouldn\u2019t be wise to put your house on it, Wigan are due a defeat and Trinity are a good side, capable of creating a massive upset.<\/p>\n
SC: Wigan 28-16 Wakefield<\/p>\n
Wakefield\u2019s path to victory is for their forward pack to be perfect and really get after Wigan, which they can do, but they also need to execute in attack and on this stage, where they\u2019ve not been before, it\u2019s hard to back them \u2013 especially when Wigan are on such an impressive winning run.<\/p>\n
SB: Wigan 26-12 Wakefield<\/p>\n
I\u2019m expecting a similar scoreline in both men\u2019s games, with both semis set to be nip and tuck before one team pulls away. It seems stupid to back against Wigan at this stage, but a week off could come to hinder them if they don\u2019t use it right.<\/p>\n
Women\u2019s Super League Grand Final predictions<\/p>\n
Wigan Warriors v York Valkyrie \u2013 Sunday, 27th September @ 5:30 pm<\/p>\n
PS: Wigan 40-10 York<\/p>\n
York are the only side to beat Wigan this season and did well to win last week\u2019s semi-final at Leeds, but Tara-Jane Stanley suffered a concussion in the final moments and that was also a knockout blow to Valkyrie\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n
SC: Wigan 48-10 York<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a somewhat disrespectful prediction to make in respect to York, who have really kicked on in recent weeks to secure their path to this Grand Final, but Wigan are a different beast. They\u2019ll be reeling from the loss to York, who are without Tara-Jane Stanley, and I expect the Warriors to try and break records here \u2013 as they\u2019ve done in past Challenge Cup Finals.<\/p>\n
SB: Wigan 40-8 York<\/p>\n
This game would have been a lot closer if Tara-Jane Stanley was fit, but after failing a HIA against Leeds, I expect Wigan to pick up their second consecutive treble.<\/p>\n
