The announcement is going to be shown live on BBC Television, Sky Sports news etc.

Challenge Cup draws don't get this much coverage - what a stroke of genius from the RFL!

And Damo doesn't tick those boxes?

I was thinking at HQ

I've got a fantastic marketing idea!!!

If we do pick Wigan,then maybe we could bill it as a one off showpiece as the biggest game in SL and call it something catchy,say..........


THE EVEN BIGGER ONE!!!!!!


We could get Kylie to advertise it on billboards throughout the known world,drop our entry prices to say,a tenner??




and finally,the masterstroke.

Manufacture some high quality polo shirts with "THE EVEN BIGGER ONE"
logo on them,knock 'em out at 20 quid apiece with the intent of making a killing on e-bay at a later date due to their rarity value.



Everyone's a winner!!!!

I wouldn’t touch an event like this with a fifty foot bargepole especially after Saints cheated Catalan Dragons into the play offs. My only reaction would be that we should have been playing Bradford. Besides I’m more than happy for my views to be just aired on Southstander!

If Wigan win I think he will send them to Saints ,If HKR win I think he will fancy them at Headingley

That would be my pick with the only exception being if Les Catalans win at Huddersfield.

I think Terry O'Connor is dead right on Boots n All Anytime: we won't pick Saints. He was so sure he spent 2 agonising minutes explaining why.

It goes a little something like this.......

were gonna play the winners of the huddersfield giants and catalans dragons next friday

From my point of view the strategy I would take over club call is make the "other Semi" the hard physical game as Leeds will play on the Friday match so you make the other semi as physical as you can as they have one days less recuperation. so as it stands at the moment I think Leeds options would be.

Send the Big Catalan team to rough them up or give them the intensity of a local Derby to handle dependent on Saturdays result.

Leeds have never beaten Les Catalans by anything less than 28 points when they have visited Headingley.

Hard to ignore that record especially if Wigan come through in the other game.

there can only be one choice - Catalan
