Personally from a Wire perspective I would pick Huddersfield as they have a very good record against them and less so against Leeds. But the popular thing to do with the club call is to pick the lowest ranked team which is Leeds

Wolves should & will imv pick us.
If nothing else they'll get the bigger away support & so make more money from all the ancillary stuff.
I believe that the RL gets the gate receipts less a payment to the club so from that pov the size of the crowd is irrelevant.

Tony Smith says he won't be involved but he will.

He hates the club call idea and IF they were to pick Hudds it would give the people in charge a reason to keep it even longer. They won't get rid of club call if teams start picking the higher ranked teams (as that was the whole idea of it in the first place) so Smith WILL be involved and Wire will pick Leeds.

wudnt of said that after last week when you lot wanted briers banned for knocking the living daylights out of jibblett and benny scoring a highly dodgy try in the 1st half..despite you lot scoring off an american football style pass...hope we do now

1. Just had a harder game, bruised bodies, less recovery time.

2. Playing at home rather than Old Trafford.

3. Lowest placed team.

Wire will surely pick Leeds.

I'm amazed someone has managed to cram such a copious amount of excrement into such a small word count.

You are incredibly talented, at spewing sh*t.

I don't usually feed the trolls, but my God, surely even you can see the hilarious irony in you complaining about an 'American Football Style pass' whilst you scored an American Football try - not even grounding the ball over the Tryline.

Has anybody watched Leeds in the playoffs these last few years?

Warrington have beaten Huddersfield three times this year. Are a battle hardened team really easier to beat than a team that had an unopposed training session against Hull.

I'm hoping Warrington choose us. I think the players would like to be the chosen team, yet again.

Is battle hardened the same as knackered and injured? Or are they both seperate?

To me they are seperate. Leeds are always ready and always battle hardened. I am not sure they have been in this position before though in any of their previous play off campaigns. They certainly haven't had to play again six days later whilst being this beaten up.

If Warrington had any sense they would select the team in that position.

Warrington could throw a curveball if they wanted to (they won't but they could). Like McGuire said after the game he is 99% certain Leeds will be going to Wire as the lowest ranked, even saying they're going to start preparing for that. Hudds as well probably thinking and settling on that they'll be sent to Wigan.

Would rocking the boat work and delivering the unexpected knock Leeds/Hudds preparation?

Wire would be fools to pick us again.

Therefore I expect Wire to pick us.

We're playing Leeds, trust me on this. Safe journey over Thursday, hopefully it's another cracking game like the Friday game.

After seeing Leeds last night and their battered state surely Smith will chose the Rhinos. His squad are fit and will have trained well.
Smith will also know that a Wigan win is hardly a given as Hudds have won something like the last 5 out of 6 visits to the DW.
If he picks Hudds then he will fancy Wire's chances of beating Hull but facing Wigan or Leeds will not have the same appeal as going up against Hudds.
Beat Leeds and expect a Hudds win, then Smith will see a GF win and their first Championship since the 1950s.

Sorry, fifth line down, - meant "Wire's chances of beating Hudds" not Hull as I mistakenly wrote.

C'mon Warrington! I dare ya!
