| I think it's wrong that Saints can't pick Leeds in Sunday's club call.
Leeds, who were lucky to finish fourth, had a good victory at Wigan but I don't think that should elevate them to an untouchable position.
On the other hand, Saints finishing second and having a great victory over Warrington don't get to choose, (what seems on paper), the weakest team, should Wigan and Warrington progress to the semis. Saints' reward is a local derby against one of the latter teams.
However, being a Wigan fan, I am very happy with the present situation even though I think it is wrong.
Should Hull K R beat Wigan tonight the above will not matter as Saints will pick the Robins.

| Saints v Wigan in a semi-final in the last ever game at Knowsley Road is THE only way to send the old girl off BIGTIME.

It's more important that Saints finish with a win, whether they play Hull K R, Wigan, Warrington or Huddersfield. Wigan would be the icing on the cake but they will choose the team they consider the weakest. That may be Wigan.
However, I think they should be allowed to put Leeds, the team that has thwarted them at the last three Grand Finals, to the sword.
If there was no club call they would be paired with Leeds so how is the club call an advantage to Saints?

| Saints will pick the lowest finishing team left that is available to be picked.
Going with home advantage from tonight, that'll be Wire.
IMO

I agree but my point is that Saints should be able to pick Leeds. Without club call they woulds be facing Leeds. Club call is supposed to be a reward but it is a poisoned chalice.

| Their hearts will say Wigan, their heads will say Wire/Hudds, but I had a funny feeling when KC scored that try to get home advantage we might be playing there again.
In the cold light of day they would surely want Wigan and Leeds have a right ding dong because that's what it will be, there was plenty of unfinished business at the end of the game last week.
Whoever it is much happier after last nights performance we can still win the GF no doubt about it.

| Leeds earned a home semi by beating us in rd 1. They're the rules end of. Saints would actually therefore play wire/hudds and not leeds.

I know thats the rules BUT I think it was be far more intriguing if they had the choice to make Leeds go away.

You would think so that would be the dumbest decision in the history of SL if they pick us but even if they do weve beaten them already at the hole so who cares
