we have to beat you sometime................. bring it on!

Not making a banner for this game tho hahaha. May the best team win , hopefully the Giants. See ya Thursday.

Did not see that coming! I have changed my mind at least 20 times this weekend, not sure how I feel!

That is my big concern with picking Huddersfield. But on the bright side, for years I used to think that every time we played Saints and for years I would come away disappointed.

The right choice for me. In a weird kind of way, even considering their injuries, Leeds had much better preparation for a semi final last week than the walkover Huddersfield got.

I can totally understand why you have picked us, you believe we are the weakest team despite finishing top of the pile, your record against us recently suggests it will be a walkover and I think this is the thinking of the wire BOD.
we will have a walkover to the grand final,leeds and wigan will tear lumps out of each other and wire will be fresh for the final and walk that too.

nothing against you but I really hope we beat you on Thursday so your chairman can be in Tesco when the final is on

Right decision!

To me it's more about making wigan and Leeds face each other than who we play

Well done the wire board! Ha

No arrogance calls from me, i expected it, you were never going to stick to your picking the lowest rank team spiel when we are considered to be the weakest, we have to beat you sometime and what better way to do it than Thursday !

I am going to be having nightmares about Cudjoe interceptions all week!

Huds have the least big game experience of the 4 left right decision !

..at least this way I will have someone in the final that I will be happy to win it...Whoever wins on Thursday will be getting my support in the final....so may the best team win on the night...if its us brilliant...if its hudds I hope they go on and win the whole thing.

I agree with Scotty. Still not convinced by Wigan and Leeds looked pretty battered and were carrying a few knocks. Another bruising encounter at the DW and Leeds will be ripe for the picking ..... famous last words!!

Not taking anything away from the Udders, we will have to be on our game to beat them but we just seem to have the sign on them at the moment

I don't think there was any arrogance in the decision. It could have gone either way and making the decision so early has clear advantages. It's up to us to make you regret that decision now and for obvious reasons I hope we do!! Let's hope for a great game and see you Thursday.

Difficult call to make and 1 that should be scrapped. I can see the reason for picking Hudds result wise, but, they are rightly the champions for being consistent all season, they did not have the interruption of the CC to contend with and they are playing without having to a miss a week which is very important in my book. Leeds on the other hand, know better than anyone how to play this competition. Can't call either game with any confidence.

It's probably less likely to be scrapped now be given it credence!

And Huddersfield aren't 'champions' (yet!!).

They only played one game less than us on the CC, so dont get your point (you could argue we played the same, as we didn't really play in the semi either)

Going to be a tough game

One thing the giants recent losses to Wire is that it's taught us a lot about losing - more importantly it's shown us where we need to be better. The cup quarters loss I think we were ready to match your energy and enthusiasm but couldn't control it - since then the giants have noticeably been better focused and calmer in good positions (The Hull game being a perfect example, despite Hulls acquiescence)

I'm not saying we will win, I just can't call it
But I am more confident in seeing is play wire than any time in recent years...

Wire V Giants final would have been better though
