| The only team we have struggled against this season is Huddersfield. Is that simply irrelevant come playoff rugby? A lot of people are ignoring their dominance of the league and more looking to the fact that they are playoff novices. Personally I think they are a huge threat, but one the lads will relish playing against, fully aware that we have been bigger underdogs in the past. Now Leeds have shown in the past that any team can pull themselves together and become a different team in the playoffs, that is why I think Wigan can rejuvenate themselves and Saints will be dangerous also. I cannot wait for tomorrow night to get the playoffs underway!

| I'm looking forward to it, should be a really interesting playoff series.
We can beat any team if we play to our full potential, but whether we will or not remains to be seen.
I hope we do get to play the Giants at some point - like you say, the lads will relish a chance to put things right.
More to the point, Crabtree called Bailey 'an Idiot' during the radio commentary t'other night which I know hasn't been missed by TMFMISL, so that would add some spice to the game.

| Can Leeds could win the GF without playing Hudds?
That would be even sweeter....the fact that Hudds finish top, beat Leeds in every game played (inc CC), yet Leeds become Champions

Very possible in many scenarios.
Not least if we beat Wire and Hudds lose to Wigan we get the club call so would probably send Hudds to Wire to lose (providing those two come through against the 5th-8th rabble)
I'm not sure it would be sweeter from our perspective, but the outcry from other fans would be worth it. We undoubtedly wouldn't be recognized as Champions by the 52 giants supporters too.

| The only thing to fear from Huddersfield is their negative effect on the gate receipts.

| I'd have to say Wire, given the draw we've got. Not that I'm hugely concerned about their challenge.

| Hudds are the biggest threat. We've put Wigan away comfortably twice, and narrowly lost at the Magic Weekend with half a team out, and a try that should've been given chalked off. Wire we put away comfortably at HQ, and lost by 1 point at the HJ with half a team out.
Huddersfield we've had 3 fairly comfortable losses to. They're the toughest challenge. Think it would be good for the game for Hudds to make the GF, hopefully losing to us.

It wouldn't. Crowd would be poor.

| You're more than likely going to play us twice so logically you'd think Wire?

If Hudds lose to Wigan I don't think we'll meet again...
.... surely you wouldn't be that foolish if you got the club call

IF Hudds lose to Wigan and Wire get the club call then they will certainly pick Hudds! Warrington have the blueprints to beat Hudds.

In which case we'd meet again in the Final. Fair point then.

------- A lot of people are ignoring their dominance of the league ------ a one point win diff between hudds and warrington ( who were hardly going all out this year to win the hubcap anyway ) is hardly a team that has been dominant in the league ,cant wait for sats game ,i expect wire to get back too o-t this year and ,hopefully,learn from last year ,and go one better.roll on sat,will be a great game!
