Everyone I have spoken to tells me the play-offs are something totally different.

It's a much higher intensity and we know we're going to have to raise our game by 10 or 20 per cent to keep our season going, but we are confident we can do that.
We'd have preferred to go into the play-offs on the back of a better performance, but at least we finished the league campaign with two wins and the way we played against Celtic last week isn't a particular concern.

We got the victory, which was the most important thing, though we know if we play like that on Sunday against Wigan it won't be good enough.
That said, you've got to give Celtic some credit. They threw the ball around, it was their last game of the season and they had nothing to lose.

Pushed

We will be looking to tighten up a few areas this week and we know we need to be on our mettle, but hopefully we can go to Wigan, do what we did at the start of the season, and come away with a win.

We knew before Sunday that we'd be away to either Wigan or Wakefield and, personally, I wasn't bothered which.

At this stage of the season, I don't think it matters who you play – if you're in the top-eight, you're a good side.

It's always tough at Wigan, but we pushed them close at home a few weeks ago and we've won there already this year.

They maybe weren't at their best on Sunday either, but we won't be reading anything into that. Everybody will be looking to improve 100 per cent this week.

Nobody is going to give us much chance of reaching Old Trafford, but we are confident we can go well in the play-offs and, like every other club, our aim is to reach the Grand Final.

They are all one-off games now and we know if we play well anything can happen.
