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

Who ?

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.

The vessel with the pestle, has the brew that is true, the flagon with the dragon has the pellet with the poison, or is it the chalice from the palace ?

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

Even though they haven't

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.........

Interesting in terms of "thought processes" to get there. I never said it was the most interesting point on the forum.

Under your scenario they couldn't pick Wigan and instead of choosing the team they beat the previous week would instead pick the team who has beaten them three times this season and the highest ranked club in the play-offs. As I said, "interesting".

you wrote 'interesting' and what you meant was 'complete b0llocks'

Leeds in the playoffs and Leeds in the regular system are chalk and cheese.

This!
