they should do it on a boots and all special....
<split screen on the TV showing both teams in their full kit in a changing room... beamed live back into the studio on a video link>
eddeh and stevo announce the big decision...... "and the team that has been picked by warrington to play them at the HJ is... <dramatic pause>......... LEEDS.... sky then gets to show all the Leeds players looking deflated and down... while the other team on the other half of the screen are wildly celebrating.
Now THAT would be a clubcall.

| Despite Wigans fatigue yesterday I would avoid picking them. Pointless to make things potentially as difficult as possible. IF they beat Catalan we should let them and Saints beat each other up again.

| Depends how they beat Catalans, if they batter them, avoid them
If they struggle, it's a 6 point margin and they look lethargic i'd pick them.
but
If by some miracle Hudds beat Leeds, pick Hudds
Saints v Leeds have always been blood and thunder bad tempered affairs in the last few years and i'd rather those 2 played each other.

I think you'd be foolish not to pick Wigan. We look knackered and a Sunday Night game to turn around and play 5 nights later against a side that's had a week off will be amazingly tough I reckon. And at the end of the day if you want to win the Grand Final you have to beat both teams anyway.

Absolutely correct.
Oh hang on.
It's not correct.

| There is more logic in choosing Wigan (should that end up a possibility) than people are giving credit for. And that is in no way showing them disrespect. Its just that they've had the most difficult season out of all teams so far including a huge CC effort and quite frankly they are beginning to look a little tired, and understandably so.
Saints and Leeds seem to have had a red hot poker shoved up their backside and I'd bet good money that Wigan will win ugly against Catalans. That is my bet for the final four; us, Saints, Wigan and Leeds.
However, if we stick with club call protocol, ie, select the lowest ranked team, then this whole concept seriously needs firing from a cannon into wasteland as it obviously serves no purpose and does not provide the entertainment factor it was intended to.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!: |
|
| I think that most clubs placed in the club-call position have "agreed" to select the lowest ranking team from the league table since it was introduced. Why not simply make that the final weeks game "officially"

| The cynic in me suggests when the RFL were putting the top-8 structure in place, they spotted the silly situation where-by you could end up with week 1's fixtures from the top 4 being repeated (and, let's be honest, if we hadn't messed up last year, that's exactly what would have happened), and they desperately went rummaging around for ways to try and stop that happening, eventually pulling the 'club call' concept out of Nigel Wood's .

| Interesting that Catalan are bottom of the poll.
For me, I would dread playing them if they dispatch Wigan. I think they are the real dark horse

| If wire aren't destined to win the gf (with the rugby gods- phile clarke) then I would love catalans to come from out of the top 4 to win. And I think they can do it!

| Having thought about this alot, i think alot of people on here are looking at who we pick in the wrong way. We should pick the team who will be the hardest on Saints and their style of play, and the team which will knock seven shades of e out of them. Then we pick whoever is left regardless of who they are.
This is the first time I can ever remember not fearing any team in the league, so I don't mind who we pick just as long as the remaining team really takes the steam out of Saints and gives them the toughest game possible.

| tempted for wigan just to kick them into touch but i think catalan will beat them anyway and i would avoid catalan at all costs! so i have gone for leeds
|
|
|
| If:
Wigan win, Leeds win - pick Leeds
Wigan win, Hudds win - pick Hudds
Cats win, Hudds win - pick Hudds
Cats win, Leeds win - this scenario would be the toughest call. I'd be inclined to lean marginally toward choosing the Dragons.
Choosing Wigan should really not be considered.
