| Quote: Orrell Lad "The closer to the game we get, the more confident I feel. We've done well in the playoffs, even when we were average under Noble, we'd always raise our game. The team know they are capable of performing, I just wonder if they have kept their cards close to their chest for the last few weeks.
Huddersfield - well their fans are full of bravado. Will they be able to tough it out when all the pressure is on them? If Wigan can stick on a couple of early tries, Hudds will start to panic IMO. Totally different game now.'"
Way too much positivity, we're doomed  |

So we all agree we are better of losing on Thursday to ensure if we make Week 3, they pick us instead of us having to play Wire/Leeds?!!

Errr no  Read my earlier post, winning on Thursday makes for a much easier route to Old Trafford |

Well I can recall you playing in one match this season that counted for something and you were absolutely hammered.
Congratulations on finishing top. It really is an achievement that deserves far more credit, but I wouldn't read too much into it if I was you otherwise you could look like us and Wire in 2011 and 2012 trying to sell it as a major trophy. Your players who Paul Anderson claimed haven't got a winners medal still haven't  |

Warrington v Leeds - ?
St Helens v Hull KR
Hull FC v Catalans - ?
Week 2
Huddersfield v Hull FC/Catalans
Warrington/Leeds v St Helens
Week 3
Warrington/Leeds v Warrington/Leeds
Wigan v Huddersfield
and if we lose I reckonHuddersfield v Wigan
Warrington v Leeds - ?
St Helens v Hull KR
Hull FC v Catalans - ?
Week 2
Wigan v St Helens
Warrington/Leeds v Hull FC/Les Catalans
Week 3
Huddersfield v Wigan
Warrington/Leeds v Warrington/Leeds
So basically I expect us to play Huddersfield in week 3 either way. The difference is we get a week off and home advantage if we win, if we lose we're away and have a tricky derby against Saints first. To my knowledge no coach has ever deliberately weakened his team for the play offs and I can't see it starting now.'"
I disagree. If we win on Thurs then Hudds lose the pick in week 3. Surely Leeds/Warrington would pick Huddersfield leaving Leeds/Warrington to come to Wigan in week 3?? |

We could have the situation where Leeds get the choice of the two sides who finished above them. In that case I think they could pick Hudds. |

Fantastic! The RFL are the only organisation in the world that come up with a format where you may be better of losing!!!!!!
Glad it's getting rid of it after next year!
Top 5 system anyone? |

Hasn't the clubcall side always picked the lowest placed team? Plus Leeds/Warrington will have the confidence of knowing they've just beaten Leeds/Warrington in week 1. That's my thinking anyway. Point is it's better for us to win on Thursday |

Option 1 - Wigan win
Week 1
Huddersfield v Wigan
Warrington v Leeds
St Helens v Hull KR
Hull FC v Catalans
Week 2
Huddersfield v Hull FC/Catalans
Warrington v St Helens
Week 3
Leeds v Huddersfield
Wigan v Warrington
Option 2- Wigan lose
Week 1
Huddersfield v Wigan
Warrington v Leeds
St Helens v Hull KR
Hull FC v Catalans
Week 2
Wigan v St Helens
Warrington v Catalans
Week 3
Huddersfield v Wigan
Leeds v Warrington
So, imo if we win we will have had to beat Huddersfield, Warrington and Leeds (i.e. all of the top 3) to win the GF

So you think if Leeds get the Clubcall they'll be the first team not to pick the lowest rank team and instead will choose a team that's beaten them all three times they've played this season. Interesting. |

Yes.
or alternatively out of Warrington, Wigan and Huddersfield, they will choose the latter.
Hardly the most "interesting" point on the forum I would have thought......... |
