47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| If I was wire I would take Huddersfield.
I think the biggest error we made when having club call was not to play Wigan at home. On your own ground with the fans baying for blood, it sways the ref. Leaving them to a GF on a nice big wide pitch we gave up that against the best League side.
Take Huddersfield now on your own ground and put them under pressure they will not feel at the GF.

| Is a tough call. Buck the tend and pick the league leaders or pick the play off specialists?
Leeds should be battle hardened, everyone else has had a week of. 6 days should be enough recovery, Ijust hope jjb and delany can be fit

We weren't good in the 2nd half last night i'd agree, but dazzling attacking play is rarely what wins games at this stage of the play-offs. If it's Wire again next week i'd expect it to be a very different game to last Saturday.

| Club call is a poisoned chalice. If Warrington lose to either Leeds or Huddersfield they will have made the wrong call when the after match inquest starts. What everyone assumes is that they would clearly have beaten the other side had they picked them instead! My opinion is that momentum appears to be more valuable in this play-off system & not sure the week off does those sides any good to be honest.

| I think the wigan huddersfield result in week one has scuppered leeds chance of retaining the title after watching last nights game.
I don't think they have 2 big games left in them. 1 maybe. But wigans win meant leeds got the tougher assignment in week 2. Hull or catalans (who leeds would have played if hudds won in week 1) wouldn't have been easy but it wouldn't have been as draining mentally and physically as last night.
In this playoff format i've never see as tough a game as last night in week 2. That was final eliminator intensity. Instead of just having one more game for the title after that toughness, leeds still have 2. If they'd won in week 1 they'd probably be underdone for next week.
I hope i'm wrong, but if they can pull it off next week i fancy the final will be a step too far, probably against wigan the old adversary.

Are Wire that strong minded to pick us?'"
To be honest I think it is a no brainer as far as Wire are concerned. Do you pick the side you put 40 points on a couple of weeks ago....or the form team who scored a record breaking win on Thursday?
Even folk from that side of the Penines can work that out! Sadly, despite last nights heroics, and whilst i don't think they will run in another 40 points next week, we have still too many defensive gaps and daft penalties to realistically expect to turn out at Old trafford.
A Wire/Hudds game could be a fitting end to this RL season

| Personally after last night I'd pick Leeds, not because I see them as weak, far from it, I'd be more nervous knowing what you're capable of.
I'd pick Leeds because they've played a day later in a game of double the intensity and have picked up a couple of injuries and having a half back who looks like he's playing on injections.
You only have 4 days to prepare tactically and 6 days physically.

| Tony Smith has always been pretty adamant that he will effectively refuse to exercise his choice by sticking to the pre-determined path of playing the lowest ranked team. I'd be surprised to say the least if he deviates from that, and I therefore think we'll be at Wire next week for reasons that have nothing to do with any perceived strengths or weaknesses of us or Hudds.

| Warrington will pick us.......but not until we'd had to listen to Tony Smith whine, cry & bitch about it and the state of the competition in general a bit more.

| Warrington should pick Leeds as we are the weakest of 4.
We are likely to be without JJB and Delaney and even if picked to play will be carrying injuries.
We didn`t offer much in attack and Saints rarely challenged our defensive line.
We would have to improve vastly to win through next week.

| Can't believe what in reading on here to be honest.
First we wouldn't beat the in form Saints. Now we have done we only just won and have no chance of getting to old Trafford.
Have you guys only started supporting this team this year? If not then you have no excuse for doubting what this current squad is capable of.
I doubt we will see a leeds team this special again for many a year, but that's the only doubt I have.
Warrington or Wigan, we have nothing to fear. Come on Leeds!

| I would have said Huddersfield but after watching the two play-off games I now say Leeds.
Good spectacle last night but in critical areas it wasn't great. And Leeds now look beat-up.
