Suggest that warrington didn't fancy either leeds or saints and as one was guaranteed to go through it meant they could already determine it would be the winner of hull hudds.

Who cares? Really?

Its a 80 min game, people reading this much into it need to get out more.

The way to negate that is to select the lowest ranked. Club call is never going to be any advantage, so you select who you would be playing if there was no club call and take away any of the negative psychology.

I think the side with ClubCall should be allowed to pass it on to the other Week 1 play-off winners if they so wish. As in, we don't want to choose, you can have the 'privilege'.

There have been two votes on ClubCall in as many years, last off season the clubs voted unanimously to keep it and the year before everyone voted in favour except Saints who voted against and Warrington who abstained. Quite ironic that for someone who professes to hate the system, Smith has ensured it won't go anywhere, it has created a huge talking point and shed loads of coverage.

I don't believe for one minute that the decision was made by the board, and not Smith for what it is worth.

I know for a fact when we got beat by Leeds the year Sinfield scored with a late penalty when Myler was offside, think it was 2011 that it was the players who decided to send Saint's to Wigan to let them bash it out. Smith asked the players their opinions and this was passed to the Board.

Yep, I had a look back at Morley's book this morning-

No, not Moz but another senior player who came to see me whilst I was ill.

Well, they've got to raise their game for a big match sooner or later, or at least the law of averages says so. I've made no secret of the fact that I think Brough is overrated and their pack has a collective soft underbelly, but I'm also mindful of the Hull games.

Be vigilant Wires, the most damaging threat comes from within.

another way of looking at it is thru the bookies eyes wire are favs then wigan then leeds then hudds so really we have picked the worst of the 4...make of that as you will...champs being 4th favs

Barely enjoyed a single week of RL since losing in the GF to Leeds last October. All i've thought about all year is this and next weekend.

I have fire in my belly today.

NOW THE WIRE!

EXACTLY THIS for me too. I haven't enjoyed this season at all because all I've wanted is the end prize. I didn't even really care when we lost the CC semi to Hull as that wasn't the trophy I crave so much anyway. For the first time this year THE ONLY THING that matters is on the line tonight.

WE'RE ON THE MARCH WITH TONY'S ARMY

I'm in the Caveman and Dropkick camps. Any knockout game against Super League opposition in the cup mattered to some degree and it's always a good feeling to beat Wigan, St Helens, Leeds in the league, but tonight is the first game where I will be devastated if we lose.

Shish it took me weeks to get over the Hull Semi defeat.! I went to Castleford the week after but I was still sick after that win.
