Pretty sad that you have to change what I actually said in the interest of petty point scoring. Giving Leeds a ticket straight to the GF would have been easy, taking the path they did was hard, just not hard enough to reflect their league position. Disagree with that all you want, but if the only counter-argument you can provide is to the non-existent argument "Leeds had it easy" then you might as well not bother.

Where have I said either Wigan or 1st should have won? As I said, you're determined to have this argument aren't you, regardless of whether anyone is actually making the points you want to argue against. I've even pointed out, in as basic a way as I can, what the crux of my argument is. I refuse to believe that anyone can be as dense as you're pretending to be. Please tell me you
are pretending.
Quote: SmokeyTA "Les catalans lost, they got home advantage, Leeds won, they had to play at Les Catalans. That seems like a fair advantage to Les Catalans, Leeds then won again, they then went to Wigan who had a week off, that also seems like more of an advantage to Wigan.
Which team do you think was hard done to by being knocked out in these play-offs? Wigan who lost after a week off? Saints who lost after a week off? Les Catalans who lost 2 games in a row including one at home? Hull who lost away at wire? Wakefield?'"
If you genuinely haven't understood my argument at this point then I can only advise you to read my posts and try again. Take my advice and stop jumping in head first with preconceived arguments and take the time to actually read and understand what others say before you post.
