I would have much preferred to play Wigan, they look shot.

A tough trip to Cats will sharpen you up ready for Leeds. Two more days off & no travel might give them a bit of an edge.

Agree, cats is a good game. The week before the playoffs, you want a tough bruising game. Playing the likes of salford london or bradford is no good. You need a test.

Warrington will be ready next week.

Spot on just the word I would use shot, but I live in hopes. I think that next week will be a real test for the Wire, the winner’s next week will I think have the real belief to get to the GF. As for us if we don’t show next Thursday with at least a good game, I don’t see how we could have a chance to progress, but your game looks a real cracker, and I can’t wait for it to kick-off, I can see a game of muck and bullets, bring it on!

Really wanted wigan to win last night, as we would have taken that side apart with relative ease.

Leeds it is.... bring them on

Many a slip twixt cup and lip………Good luck!

The only way Wire and Leeds will meet in the final is if there's a shock result for somebody in week two. If Huddersfield beat Wigan they'll pick the lowest ranked team for week three which obviously won't be the team that finished second or third. If Wigan win the winner of our game next week will get the call, and will only pick a different team in the unlikely event of Huddersfield losing in week two.

Essentially, unless the loser of our game next week also loses in week two, we will be playing each other again two weeks later at either the HJ or Headingley.

Since 2004 Leeds have played in seven out of nine finals, winning six of them including the last five they've played in. The two years they didn't get there were 2006 which, great though that night at Headingley was (and I was there) was massively unexpected, and 2010 when they lost to Wigan who were easily the best team in Super League that year. Even then Leeds made them do it the hard way by winning at the DW in week one handing Wigan an extra game and a trip to Headingley.

Leeds are in form, resulting in them finishing a place higher than they were expected to a few weeks ago. They've been the best team we've played this season (Widnes aside!) in beating us comfortably at their place and being unlucky to lose late on at ours, and their play off record as I've just stated is absolutely unbelieveable - breaking our hearts in the last two years to boot.

I'm not gonna lie here, no matter what happens next Saturday I'm terrified of week three!

If hudds beat pies, but all the top 4 teams still make the last 4,
I bet they become the 1st club callers not to choose the lowest rank club. They will defo choose pie over pasties!

Wigan are the lowest ranked club of the top four.

Sorry I thought they was still 3rd for some reason...doh!!!

Leeds cannot be the lowest ranked club. If Huddersfield win they're the highest ranked. If they lose then the winner of our game is. Leeds will therefore be ranked either first, second or third depending on results.

The lowest ranked team will either be Wigan or a team from positions 5-8 that beats a top four team in week two if any manage it.

Either way no one is choosing Leeds and I'm fully expecting us to be playing them in week three with next week's game simply deciding the venue and which team gets a rest.

The week one play off games are farcical really because I'll admit I felt very flat when we lost to Saints last year but I didn't care about it at all when we were at Langtree Park two weeks later. The same no doubt applied to Wigan fans in 2010. With the benefit of experience I obviously want us to win next week, but it's not the be all and end all. Leeds are the last team I would want to face in week three no matter how it comes about, but it's very likely we'll be doing just that.

perhaps pies would benefit from throwing another game like last night. That being hudds will club call them thus pies avoiding us and Leeds.

If Wigan win they can't be club called, and I'm certain neither us nor Leeds will choose the League Leaders so if Wigan win they'll still be playing Huddersfield again in week three unless a lower ranked team beats Hudds first.

The play off format is ridiculous is with second chances and repeat fixtures, but I can't see a team from positions 5-8 winning at any of this year's top four other than possibly beating Wigan on current form. I think Wigan will turn up when it matters though, so I'm still expecting Huddersfield V Wigan and Wire V Leeds in week three with only the venues to be decided in the meantime.

Stone me!, I thought I understood it too.
