Is it 12.30 or 1.30?
I was led to believe it was 12.30 but @RLSuperleague have just tweeted saying 1.30.

the whole thing is a joke

Well out of 3 years the ClubCall team have won their semi final twice
2009 - Leeds picked Catalans and won.....won the GF
2010 - Saints picked Hudds and won......lost the GF
2011 - Wire picked Leeds and lost in the dying minutes.

Obviously i know you said win the GF (not their semi) but i don't see what effect having ClubCall has on the team AFTER they do get through that game and are at Old Trafford. The more important stat is that the ClubCall picking team have won more than they have lost. This time next week if Wigan are the finalists then ClubCall becomes a distant memory.

Whilst i do think ClubCall should be scrapped (as i can't see a better scenerio than the one Wigan have had to face which could of perhaps led to the lowest ranked team not being picked for a change, based on Wire and Leeds' varying Playoff success) it's also not the complete OTT hurricane force juggernaut wreckage of our sport that many are making it out to be. It's just a poor idea, nothing more.

The coaches (quite rightly) have made Club Call pointless by picking the lowest ranked team each time, because it takes the sting out of it. Wane should have announced it as soon as you won against Catalan (ie, we will pick the lowest ranked team.

The best format was the top six. Top two play for the Grand Final berth, with the loser getting the second chance against the winner of the 3-6 competition. Nice and simple. Currently, it is better to finish 5th than 4th, as you get to go into your game against the first round loser with momentum following the win against the weakest side in the eight.

Top 3, league winner goes straight to the GF and 2nd and 3rd play off to get there, rewards the winner of the league
