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.

IF we beat Catalan, I hope Wire pick us. Massive pressure on them to perform then.

Sh*t or bust

Its a more interesting question if catalan beat wigan.

The lowest placed side is arguably the better side.

Not picking the lowest ranked team would raise eyebrows. Egg on your face if we then turned you over = pressure

Has any team picked one that's not the lowest ranked?

NO

No and the reason they usually say for doing so is it is the only way to avoid any kind of controversy which may spur a team on. With any luck this "tradition" of picking the lowest placed team will carry on year after year and the RFL will realise it is a waste of time and the idea can be quietly dropped.

Wigan have just done it at U20 level. They have chosen Wakefield (4th) as opposed to Cas (7th)

Welcome back.
