Very surprised by that, makes it looks like they are running scared of them if they go on to play them in GF.

Can't wait for the games though.

I think it'll be a Huddersfield Vs Wigan final, I really do.

I don't know about your premis, but got to say I'm surprised by the decision.
Wire must fancy their chances are greater at home against Huddersfield, and they are presuming a tired Leeds could be vulnerable against us, and Wire would fancy their chances against us if we make the Grand Final?
We'll see.

Delighted with that, I would have been far more worried playing a Huddersfield side with a point to prove after our game the other week.

Leeds looked out on their feet beating a poor Saints side on Friday. We owe them after last years defeat at this stage and I really feel we will be heading to Old Trafford for another Grand Final.

BRING IT ON

I thought the magic coin would come out.

I'm happy with Leeds. They're a great side and they won't be beaten by more then a couple of points (if we do manage to win) because they'll just stick in to the bitter end. They did have a tough game on Friday though and have a couple of injury clouds hanging over them.

I think we could have been a little complacent against Huddersfield but that won't be a problem now.

+1

For Broomhead to say they chose the winner of the Hudds/Hull game before the 2 games had been played was very disrespectful to Huddersfield. The Wire board must have ranked them behind saints as well as Leeds.

That's all the motivation they will need.

I'm really looking forward to Friday now.

Thought it was a very strange comment to make and will no dobt put some additional edge to the game

How did your clubcall go last year?

I think it was probably just trying to mess with their opponents plans that made the choice.
McGuire said after the match on Friday he was 99% certain he and Leeds would be going to Wire, likewise the Hudds camp were probably expecting a trip to Wigan.....this will have just caught them two teams out, possibly also Wigan yourselves as you would've been expecting Hudds. Wire come into this week as the most prepared in that regard.

Warrington are doing what they think is best for them. Simple as that really.

I don't think bottled it at all, pick the team you think you can beat easier and go for it, why wouldn't you? That's the advantage of the club call.
And why would wire bottle it? Look what they did to Leeds in their last game.

Personally I'm happy, give us an opportunity for revenge, they beat us last season in the playoffs and recently on our own turf. Now lets remember that and give them a royal good battering!

Same as yours in 2011.


I was surprised at first but think Wire have a good record against Huddersfield of late and maybe perceive them to be not quite as fast as the other two teams in some respects and they will then hope Leeds and us will knock seven shades of excrement out of one another so that they will either meet a limping Leeds or a team they are confident of playing as our record against them isn't the best recently either. Wouldn't mind listening to Paul Anderson's team talk! Should be two good games

great call for us,grand final huddersfield v wigan is my prediction.

I think Warrington will comfortably beat Hudds. I hope I'm wrong but last years experience will help Wire, they have been building experience over the last few years. Hudds are just starting that process.

As for us and Leeds I haven't a clue. Will we be well rested or a little rust? will Leeds be battered or battle hardened? Unlike Hudds I think we have enough big game experience for that not to be a problem.
