There are several deluded fools on every site (yes, even this one!), no-one in their right mind would select the side who finished second at the end of the regular season. |

I'd say he's hankering on pure hope rather than expectation on that one.

I'm not, I'm looking for a repeat of the challange cup final, was hoping for Sts v Wigan
And yes, a few days rest and several of the Wigan players showing some niggling injuries, I would have taken Wigan this week rather than face them at Old Trafford, where my players are inexperienced and may be a little overawed. |

To me the thing is stupid. Way it was done was fair enough got to point straight away every had a guess that once we had won easily it was going to be Leeds. If we want to make anything out of it all 3 sides left in the comp should be up for picking!!
Smith wasnt execatly going to turn up and say well leeds are rubbish and we fear Wigan so thats the choice we went for!!

Wellens 3/10 Like public transport. Late, slow and stunk

I could have seen Warrington picking us, had our defence leaked like a sieve, scraped a win, (helped by Ganson), picked up a few injuries, 2 days less turnaround, then just maybe.
The choice Leeds or Catalans would have been less straigt forward though.

Not a fan of this "pick your opponents" lark. Or the expansion to the top eight clubs playoffs. Both are just a money spinning exercise that offer little for proper fans or anyone over the age of six.
Lets get back to the top six playoffs, no gimmicks, and get on with it.

| The Club Call announcement was yet another example of the appalling mismanagement of RL in this country.
Why did it look like the room was prepared for a press conference that no-one other than a couple of bored looking coaches had bothered to turn up to?
Why was the announcement made in the commentary box after the game?
The whole thing looked trivial and mismanaged.
Our game is constantly sabotaged by the amateurism of its administrators.

I reckon the club call system should be that at the end of the year the team that has won the league chooses its Grand Final opponents there and then from anyone in the top 8.
