I'd be bloody amazed if they do.

They've battered Leeds twice this season, they've also battered us twice, but the key is we've beaten them soundly also at the HJ, in knockout competition.

They pick the winners of Leeds/Hudds, of that I am very confident

If our game is a battle then imo they will take us.

I'd take Wigan even if you stuck 60 on Cats, makes it more interesting.

Wire v Wigan
Saints v Leeds

There is absolutely no way the Dire will choose us, no matter what the scenario.

How would you react if they did?

Would rather get beat in a semi-final than the final.

I would question the sanity and future job prospects of the person who made the final decision. Imagine what would happen if we were chosen and won, when the percentage is to choose the lowest ranked team.

They'll choose the lowest ranked team. Unless it's a potential major derby (i.e. Wigan never pick Saints or visa versa) then everyone should always pick lowest ranked.

I think we would win. Can't see us beating you at Old Trafford though.

Whats your logic behind that?

We've done rather well in knock out games under Maguire.

Personally, I get the feeling we've got 1 big performance left in us this year, which would fit in nicely with a Semi Final. I'd not be too confident of backing that up the week later though.

I'd like my chairman to have a huge pair of stones and pick the hardest possible team personally, hate limp games always want the hardest possible tie in cup games too, i must be sick

The away game at your place a week after the GF is the only time we have been well beaten away from home under Maguire. I am confident we would turn up well and put in a huge performance. We would bring huge away support and it would be a very different atmosphere to the Saints game at the weekend. We would not put in a performance like we did in the league.

At Old Trafford I would not be confident, Warringtons first super league final, we would have just had a real tough game against Saints the week before and we would run out of steam.

Obviously its all theory but its just how I feel.
