And no Ganson to ref this game to an utterly different set of rules to the rest of the season...

Though I'm Sure Bentham will manage that

It will not matter who the referee is, whoever loses will blame them. Just getting yours in early.
By the way, Bentham isn't from Warrington but is a member of the Warrington Referees association as there is no association in his home town. He is no Warrington fan.

a good 250 I reckon .
im more concerned whether my team will turn up.
will the wire fans turn up? only 6,000 last week and they will probably be expecting a walkover so will be shopping or something

You can tell people Bentham is a Leigh fan until you're blue in the face, but it doesn't suit peoples agenda's so they won't listen.

Warrington had the choice of opponents and picked the Giants. Cannot see what the big fuss is about. Accept the decision and look forward to the game.
Whoever we played it was going to be a tough game.
From a personal perspective I would have preferred Friday to Thursday because of work and probably struggling to get there now.

Oh don't worry we will be fired up,I'm bloody fired up!!! if you pick lowest team you have a reason, if you pick league leaders it's arrogant and saying to em you are better and will beat em. We will see and I will be delighted if we hand Wire's to them on a plate.

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick.

They had made a decision earlier in the week that the victors of the Giants vs. Hull FC game would be the team they would play. That's pretty logical and it also gives their team and coach plenty of preparation time, which is something Anderson has complained about - though ultimately that is the advantage of having the club-call; it is also an advantage that the Giants gave up by losing to Wigan.

The Giants have had some great games with Wire over the last few seasons and they've turned the Giants over a few times this season already.

However, if the Giants are to become a team that other teams want to avoid (ala Leeds) in the play-offs then they need to start winning games such as the one on Thursday and Warrington have provided that opportunity.

Should be a great game.

Isn't that the kind of thinking that's cost both Wire & Wigan a GF spot the last 2 years?
The ironic thing is, is if you'd have picked us this year you'd probably have won, Leeds looked shattered the other night, but instead you'll now probably get battered by Hudds

You'll get Silverwood, ergo a bye to the GF.

I'd be happy to avoid the Gooners again and the possible ignominy of two defeats by the same club in the play-offs.
You have to beat two good sides to lift the trophy.
Same for everybody.
Just come out against Warrington and give it a real good go.

All a bit of a do about nothing this..

Four top teams left - winner will need to beat 2 great teams.

Happy to be going to wire. No easy games - but think the lads will be up for it - after club call, challenge cup and recent history .

Me plus 1 new fan going ..coyg.

Enlighten us.....



No, it isn't. You are just daft enough not to realise the reason why we chose you. You are blinded by this so called "arrogance" we are supposedly exuding, yet what you don't realise is that if the roles were reversed and results over the last couple of years were reversed, then you would have made the same choice.

Why all the whinging? Expected Wire to pick us - as did everyone I heard talking at the game last Thursday.
Given their recent record against us I fully expected it and would have done the same.
I assume they looked at this as whats the best way to the final and given that record they chose us. What Is the drama?
Only comment on the call is that Wire seem to have gone against their stance of picking lowest ranked.
I'm not concerned about going there - I'm confident we will win. Will be tough but we'll do it
As for comments about giving them a hard game and putting some of their players out of the final - 2 points on that absurd comment.
1 - How poor to say the least to wish anybody get injured
2 - What a defeatist attitude to assume we will lose!!

3 of us going and we're going totally positive - convinced we will win!!!
