| Think of it another way. Who do Wigan want to play? They have already beat hudds. Leeds or saints IMO would give them a harder game.

| Quote: Uncle Rico "A noble sentiment, but, misguided in my view (sorry) as this in its purest sense only applies in a random draw " to win x you need to beat the best, or what's in front of you...."
Under a system of selection rather than 'luck of the draw' and one that not only confirms your choice, but, decides the make up of the other game, it is surely only natural that the majority might find a place for having a think about what suits them in the next game and musing "what if" for the following round (final) should we get through?
Hence the length of this thread and it's not all about arrogance, disrespecting Huddersfield's record or running scared Leeds/Saints as some have stated. Like it or not we are in a position to influence two semi final games and by default the Final.
To choose is not weakness, we have earned the right.'"

| Huddersfield, Leeds or Saints.............all of them have the ability to beat us. We have the ability to beat any of them. If I had to pick, personally I would pick Huddersfield.

| There is still the possibility of what would be my dream scenario: beat Saints in the semi, and Wigan in the final. For that reason alone I'll be cheering Saints on tonight.
I'm confident we're good enough to beat either Leeds or Saints in the semi, and then either Hudds or Wigan in the final. That isn't to say I think we WILL!

| I would pick Huddersfield for the reason of not having a hit out with the exception of the Wigan play off for some time. Last night, credit to them but it was over early. I've got a funny feeling and not one the doctor can help with that Saint's will win tonight.

Not sure if you played team sport, especially a tough sport like RL but as someone who has at a decent standard I can confirm that you would be fired up to win any final but by god if a team picks you to play that gives an extra motivation, no doubt about that!!
You believe what you want but I guarantee the notion is far from ridiculous.

| Of course psychology plays a part. I don't particularly like him, but the most successful manager in this country over the last 23 years was Alex Ferguson who is famous for mind games.
Picking Leeds simply means doing what's expected, but go for the controversial option of picking the League Leaders and you write their team talk straight away.
Paul Anderson motivating his players for the game: "Well they don't seem to think you're up to much lads..." Seventeen men are instantly on a mission to prove a point.
Then if we do get through and play Leeds in the final...
Brian McDermott: "Well they were too scared to play you last week lads!" Seventeen men stride on to the pitch feeling ten feet taller than their hiding behind the curtains opponents.
Why write two team talks? It might only make 1% of a difference, but if that 1% wins either game we're play off failures again. We will pick Leeds as we're expected to.

| I was informed earlier today that the players preferred to play Leeds while at board level they've been favouring Huddersfield!

| The board should have nothing to do with it. They won't be on the pitch.

Why do you insist on posting stuff that just drifts into your head?....You know that's rubbish, so why post it?...

We have qualified for a home game. So if you picked us, the match would have to take place with you at HJ and us at DW.
Now THAT would be dumb!

| Take Leeds, and get them dispatched before Old Trafford. I saw nothing on Friday that worried me about either team attack wise.
