Tonight sees St Helens v Leeds play off in the eliminator for the Play offs. Actually it’s not an eliminator, who ever wins goes straight in to the Final and the loser gets a second chance by playing the winner of the Wigan vs. Catalan game tomorrow. If they win they get a rest week to recover.

Although the great Shaun Edwards is famous for saying “Rest is Rust”. These two have provided all three players short listed for the Man of Steel Award. One is the Challenge Cup holder and the other World Club Champion. They also have 5 players each in this years’ Dream Team, so there is plenty of talent on display. It could go either way and if Sinfield, Diskin, Senior & Burrow are playing well then Leeds might just do it. However, St Helens are just so hot at the moment and I could name nearly every player in the side as a game breaker, but Price, Long & Cunningham are the main ones. They slacked off in the draw against Wigan in the final game of the season but by then everything was in the bag.

I’m not too bothered who wins as I just know it will be a cracker, the beer chilling as I speak type.
