A ban? And who do you suggest banning for that - the whole team? Tony Smith? I suppose it might give you half a chance next week

A fine might be more appropriate (like in football) but I don't agree. If you have worked hard enough to get yourself into a high position in the league and are assured of that position regardless of your results and the results of others, why shouldn't you rest and rotate your squad the week before a cup final?

Mcguire and Burrow missing......"nearly full strength".......I don't think so!

Completely agree Rugby i think AH was being sarcastic!!

Like when he wrong footed Bridge and made a break for Burrow's try against your lot in the play off semi?? That was funny

How did that work out for you?

Smith was very open about his dislike of club call and before the last 4 was finalised he said that he would be picking the lowest placed side whoever that may be. Same as the automatic earlier rounds.

I remember Leeds in 2009 and Saints in 2010 did the exact same thing when they had ClubCall too...........except they actually managed to win

Lost to London resting half the team v pushing hard for a nothing game in deepest France and still getting beat, which one is worse pre Wembley ?
Erm, it's a question by the way.

Travelling to the South of France is worse before Wembley. The results make very little difference. I'm pleased we kept some continuity though and didn't rest half our team.

Erm, Warrington's result by a long way and its laughable that any Wire fans are trying to claim Leeds had a worst weekend than them. Leeds pushed hard because 4th spot was up for grabs and showed good fighting spirit not to throw in the towel at 18-0 down. Whereas Warrington players, especially those who haven't nailed on a place in the 17 for Wembley should of been doing their best to try win a spot for the Final and they didn't even try.

Funny that Wire fans are saying they want to finish 2nd to avoid the 'dreaded' ClubCall pick, shows nothing has been learnt from last year when Tony Smith made such a big fuss about his dislike of ClubCall that it actually put the pressure on him and his team. He/Wire should of just turned up on the day picked Leeds and not give a reason, but no the 'best team' in the league got rattled simply over having to choose their opponents and you can sense the same fear this year with the wanting to finished second.

you do realise that monas(who should've been man of steel last year) broke his shoulder in teh warm up and still played?

he needed 3 operations on it in the off season.

i mean, i knw you wont care but he was like 'The Man' for us last year, s for that to happen, took away the starting point for our attacks.
