Quote zakooo="zakooo"i think warrington have done a daft thing in picking leeds if it was my call i would have picked us.the reasons behind that,home advantage and a bigger support at home.if we meet at ot they do not have home advantage and we will have a lot more fans than them.also we have been there before and got the t shirt which counts for a lot.silly call wire.'"
I can't help thinking that the club call team are in a no-win situation. For me it's a complete gimmick, but also, potentially, a costly one. Whoever you pick will be antagonised by the decision, so all you can really do is either flip a coin or go for the lower-placed team - only in those circs will you not give them extra reason to do you. The whole thing is nonsense, in my opinion, and the sooner we do away with it, the better.
However, I'd have been amazed if Warrington had chosen us. Whatever anyone says about our recent form, we are still a better team than Leeds, and Wire know this - imagine how they'd have felt if they'd failed to reach another final in 2011 because Wigan denied them. At least if they lose to Leeds, they could argue they chose the weaker team.
