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.

Two games we always lose, Leeds away and Saints at home. I'd be dreading the former if it came up. The only teams I'm worried about are Leeds and Hull.

Before we started winning things, Briers drop goal at Headingley in 2006 was probably by favourite Wire "moment", and after years of utter misery in St Helens, Langtree Park last year was better than Wembley for me.

I don't mind going away in week three if needs must. Home or away I'd rather be playing anyone but Leeds in those circumstances though

Depending onthe final positions decided this weekend amongst the 5-7 teams, and then results next week, we could have to play Saints at home in week two for the right to go to Leeds away in week three...

(tongue in cheek) it would be nice for us to loan out Gareth OB to stains for a one off should they v the pies at sometime. [sneeky ss]

Say no one from 5-8 gets to the semi then we play Leeds

Wigan and Leeds win next week Leeds get club call and pick us as the lowest side.

If we win and Wigan win we pick Leeds as the lowest side

If Leeds win and Hudds win, Hudds pick Wigan as the lowest side and play Leeds

If we win and Hudds win Hudds pick Wigan and we play Leeds.

The only thing that changes is HJ or Headingley as the venue.

We need to beat Leeds and hope someone knocks them out a week later, Hudds then pick that side and we get Wigan.
