Agree, if Saints get club call I think McManus won't make a song and dance or hissy fit about it like Wigan and Wire have done the last few years. He'll simply pick the lowest team, no messing about required.

Yes, us or Cas.

In Club Call nobody is going to choose Leeds in a playoff situation, it is asking for trouble. We did it in 2011 when we were probably at our strongest in terms of form and personnel.

I think Warrington will go to Cas away and the winner will get club called.

I reckon Saints would pick us and try take us out on home soil.No way they would fancy the prospect of us again at OT

I reckon every team would go for the lowest ranked qualifier, no matter what, which would be us for whoever if we got that far.

Warrington didn't last year!

But you are right, it generally is the case.

Yeah, reckon we'll be picked by whoever should we reach that point. And none of us, nor the side that picks us, will have the faintest idea how hazardous a choice they've made until the game's played. They might either find themselves playing with a kitten - or a rattlesnake.

Warrington went down that route i think because of their record against huddersfield. Although hudds finished top it was a no brainer because it was either them or us.

Wigan giving Huddersfield their annual playoff beating.

Who would have thought it possible? icon_rolleyes.gif

So telegraphed.

Fed up of the same suspects, Hudds, Hull, HKR, just bending over come playoff time. Granted these teams haven't been good enough to win GF's but at least give it a shot. We expanded the playoffs to 8 because the fans of other clubs bitched and moaned that the playoffs were always made up of the same sides.....and this is what we get for it.

Catalans are another one who've usually bent over come playoff time (barring the 2009 effort at Headingley), part of me hopes they play well on Saturday and give a good showing of themselves, just obviously not too good a showing.

As embarrassing as it is to watch (WTF must neutrals think of this ''sport''?), this is a good result for leeds and the more wigan win by the better. The week off does not do a team any favours when they have a walkover like this and should we beat catalans on saturday hudds will be a bit more beat up for the game next week.

It's not Huddersfield's fault that the current format is flawed.

Their play-offs start next week anyway.

The format is flawed but no good has ever come from appraoching it in the way huddersfield have.

Catalans did the same in 2012.

Tonight IS Huddersfield's fault. Don't care if they can't be eliminated tonight (neither can Wigan).

Would they have finished as high as 3rd had it been a top 4/5 playoff system? Perhaps not, but to play like this is inexcusable. Hudds team might not be as good as Wigan, it might not be good enough to win a GF.....but it's a better side than this.

This scoreline isn't because they aren't physically good enough, it's because they aren't mentally good enough.
