Weren't leeds drawn out first? if so, then the tie should be played in yorkshire. Same with the Wire Hudds game.

That's what i thought, usually there is some advantage to being drawn out first in this case it should be offer them a selection of venues other than their home stadium and let them pick it

Let them have it at Headingley, I don't remember loosing there to often. Be interesting to know what our win/loss record there in the last few years is... Bilko?

Last 12 games show 6-5 in our favour, with one draw.

We have the best recent record though with 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 games. The last time we got beat there was only from a last minute try as well.

We had a dry spell but overall we do pretty well there. We have had some fantastic wins there, the best probably being the play-off wins in 2003 and 2010.

It won't be played at Leeds though, I just got all giddy using Bilko's website for research

you mean Wire playing in their home county?..........nailed on.........Widnes

There's nowt in the rules about that. RFL picks the venues.

And who 'owns' the RFL?

Not sure your predictions are correct here.
How many times have Leeds played a semi final in Yorkshire when drawing a team from Lancashire.
I might be wrong but it seems we travel more than you think we do over the years.
I think both semis should avoid a football ground if possible.
Warrington and Odsal maybe.

Where have you plucked this nonsense from? If Catalans or London had won over the weekend and been drawn out first, would the semi be played in France or London? No.

This is nonsense. Their is no rule regarding the first team to be drawn out having sort of advantage with regards to venue. Rubbish.

i think 1st team out gets home dressing room and gets to wear home kit.
