Why are you on the Leeds board then

I'm on the London Broncos board too it's called browsing, don't give two tosses about them either!!

Leeds board far more entertaining and unbiased though :-0)

Why would they even publish that?

My lack of desire to read the ramblings of assorted fekkwitts from various club's terraces is one of the reasons I haven't bought that dull rag for a few years.

Indeed.

There's plenty of ramblings of assorted fekkwitts from various clubs which are available to read for free on these forums instead.

Oh yes you do other wise you wouldn't ALL be on here

Warrington are our biggest threat. I don't think we would have beaten Huddersfield in the play offs, but do believe we would beat them in the final it's self.

Out of all the teams Warrington in my opinion are the only team who would beat Leeds in the final it's self, but feel more confident playing them in the eliminator a.

As it has panned out now, in my opinion Huddersfield will beat Wigan, and therefore Leeds will play Warrington twice. I have a concern for this week, as I can not recall Leeds throughout this long period ever playing to a sufficient intensity in an afternoon match. Who ever planned a play off match for an afternoon wants shooting. They all should be evening, and that is where Leeds crank it up.

Therefore I think Leeds might get beat this week, but beat Catalans, then the repeat against Warrington. Probably playing Huddersfield in the final.

One word for Huddersfield, is if it pans out like that, for the first time, other than Leeds club and supporters, the whole of rugby league will be behind one team, and I guess that wouldn't just extend to supporters. However, I still expect in a final Leeds would raise their game to a level others, other than Warrington, can't match.

I still think winning at Warrington on Saturday will be no forgone conclusion - they are a good side and Leeds have to play at the same level they did against Wigan, something they have done since the 2012 play offs.

Write Huddersfield off at your peril - Anderson is no Brown and they will be a different proposition this time round. Brown is Saints biggest barrier to success in the play offs IMO.

Warringtons flare is their greatest attribute but at the same time their biggest weakness. I'm not looking any further than Saturday afternoon. Could be a classic.

Saints are the big unknown this year IMO. Like you say, they could cause some havoc; equally Hull KR, who've beaten them 3 times this year, could cause them problems.

Exactly

Could also be a blowout and either way won't matter a great deal under this current flawed format.

Personally, as I said on the other page, I think the fact it is afternoon will probably mean a drab affair, rather than classic.

Agreed on the choice of kick-off time..... nuts. I guess SKY figured you can't put a game that actually matters into that slot.

If Wigan overcome Huddersfield tonight then aren't Warrington and Leeds also knowingly playing for (or to avoid) the poisoned chalice that is Club-Call?

Would be interesting. If Wigan turn it on and thrash Huddersfield, looking awesome, and Warrington slaughter us, with us picking up injuries or bans to say Sinny and a couple of others like JP, would TS still simply select based on final league ranking?

Sooner this rediculous playoff format is binned the better.

I concur Mr Daniel sir.

I've had a sneaky feeling for saints for the last month or so. They may have been abit scattered this season but they still have plenty of quality within their team, and their route to old trafford is very do-able. Hull kr at home, then most likely wigan and huddersfield away in either order. Huddersfield don't have the experience, and wigan's recent form is very poor.

Leeds situation is tricky IMO. I'm not sure i can see leeds beating warrington twice in 3 weeks. We've done well against warrington this season but they'll almost certainly step it up a few gears. We most likely will play them twice and if we win the first one we'll get a home game to get to old trafford, which would make us favourites. The last time we had that situation wigan turned us over.

If we lose the first game it will certainly take us down a peg after the last week of ''leeds gearing up for the playoffs as usual'' but then we'll get a home game against catalan or hull and if we win we'd go back to warrington and i'd fancy us in that situation.

I still fear wigan. I've got a bad feeling they'll limp through to the final. Beat huddersfield tonight, then they have a home game to the final. They'd be a tough nut to crack in the final if we played them.
