Simple
The aim of club call is to give you what you believe is the best chance to get to Old Trafford along with winning the grand final.
1. By picking Wigan they would have hade a short turn around, they would have had to play friday night instead of saturday, now they get an extra days rest.
2. I believe were a better side than Wigan, we play the better rugby league, we have arguably a better back line and a better pack of forwards. The only times they have beaten us recently is when we have had a weakened side, the challenge cup quarters where we had Morley, Briers and Harrison missing and the game at the HJ when we were comfortably in control then we lost both Briers and Monaghan which let them back into the game. If those 2 had stayed on we would have given them another comfortable beating.
