This is just insane.

Do I want my team to beat Salford? Yes of course.

If we do will we beat Saints? On current form unlikely, but more chance of beating them than if Salford win tomorrow!!

Is there a good chance that Saints paste us in the final? We need to beat Salford first, assuming we do then of course it's likely. It's also likely we only lose by 6-10 points and make a real game of it. It's possible (however unlikely) we may even sneak a win.

Is it better to play in the final and potentially lose by a large scoreline than not appear in it at all? Yes. There's always the chance we may win against the odds (See Sheffield 98, Warrington 2019 challenge Cup finals).

What are the repercussions of losing by a big scoreline against Saints? Social media forums, this forum probably goes into meltdown. The usual trolls will give us some. Workplace banter will be a pain for a few days, we will have to put up with Saints fans singing 'championees' next year, we will have to hope the NRL winners beat them in Februarys World Club Challenge.

Will we get over it? Of course we will. Its happened on many occasions before and will again.

Stop being a melt and support your team.

You never know.
