That Huddersfield game isn't going to be replayed. It's been defaulted 26-0 win to us which actually seals first place for us in the play offs. Warrington still mathmatically could have taken 1st had Hudds beaten us and then they did also in the final league match but the likelyhood of Huddersfield claiming at win at Orrell considering they had won just 2 games all season was pretty remote and it would have only been effort to decide which team would host the Grand Final Qualifier anyway.
It's complicated but depending on Castleford losing both their remaining games, Saints can still sneak in the top 6 on points difference if that happens and they win all their games which includes a potential vital game in hand against, you guessed it, Huddersfield away (not to be confused with the match just played today at Saints). If required it's a more important game than our one. I suspect our cup final appearance hindered the chance of replaying our game as well.
Hudds btw had played Wire home & away already so had no postponed game to catch up against them!
Wigan meanwhile will still play Warrington away the week after the cup final it seems but in terms of the league it's now a dead duck game. They'll then take a week off and the two sides will meet again at Orrell on the weekend of 17/18th September in a Under 20s Grand Final Qualifier (old top 6 play off system).
Makes you wonder though. Stuart Fielden was due to play that postponed Huddersfield game wasn't he? Maybe his 2011 would have ended differently had it gone ahead!
Either way its a bit of a joke and I think Huddersfield should be fined heavily for the farce! I mean it's took me about 10 edits to work out and explain the situation in this post.
