Next game is pretty much pointless, it will just be repeated 2 weeks later, usually gonto every playoff game but ill be giving this a miss

Ask Bradford, Salford, Wakefield, Castleford, London or Widnes fans if they think it would be a pointless game.

I'm starting to agree with the 'arrogant fans' tag we are getting lumped with.

i would love to think that you posted that twice on purpose

Seems like the weekly rounds of pointlessness is being replaced by the weekly rounds and the first playoff game.

In the next few years, if anyone doesn't get to the Grand Final it will just be pointless.

I despair at times, I really really do.

Will your drunken "mate" with the smoke bomb be giving it a miss too?

Jeez, some behaviour from a guy that bangs the drum about what a true fan is all about and how you go to all of the Warrington matches.

How is it arrogant to question the value of this weekend's fixture? Neither team can be knocked out and both teams will play another home match during this play off series no matter what the result. The same applies to the Huddersfield V Wigan fixture.

The format is fundamentally flawed and that makes people think about how much they're prepared to spend attending.

I'm going, but I'd be more excited about it - regardless of opponent - if it was a genuine knock out fixture.

So, what attendance are people expecting? I'd be surprised at more than 7000.

It was about 10,000 V Saints in week one last year, but I reckon Leeds will bring less fans than Saints did and this doesn't have the "local rival" factor, so about 8,000 I reckon.

Challenge Cup games are genuine knock out games & very few turn up for them ,so i don't expect many next week either when it will be competitive .

We've had people bleating on all season about how the normal season is just preparation for the play-offs, now we arrive at the play-offs and people now are whingeing on about the format, which they've known about all season. Ask the fans of those Clubs who didn't make the top 8 whether they're bothered about the format, I'm sure they would just be grateful to get in the 8 and maybe see a couple more games.
I'm driving over on Saturday morning and staying over with family. I wouldn't miss it for the world. It should be an absolute cracker of a game.
