Your under-estimating Catalans mate. They have been playing really gritty as of late. OK there not the most fluent in attack but there defence has been solid and they have been grinding results out. Catalans have the ability to slow the ruck down and frustrate Leeds. And if Leeds fall for Catalans frustration tatics Leeds could lose the game plan. Nathan Brown is a quality coach and he wouldn't have said those things just for the sake of it - it his genuine opinion.

But dispite those things above i think i would prefer Catalans over Wigan i think.

both teams were rubbish last night, a terrible game

How much do they have left though?

They are a grinding team but Leeds can more than match them in that area.

As for their attack, Leeds have boxed them in at Headingley and haven't troubled us, they've been blown away.

I mean if Leeds would have hit them with the same defence that KR had to edure last Friday in the opening 20, Leeds would have posted some serious points.

True, another away game will certainly take a bit out of them. Aye, take id take Catalans but if they still have some energy and the Leeds forwards are not on song it could be a bit tricky.

I suppose now may be a fine opportunity to mention that if Leeds do pick the frogs will they be going into the GF 'under-done' ?????

Surely, the main point is that whoever we choose at this stage of the competition - one game away from the GF - will (or should) be a stern test.
Knowing what's at stake I'd expect us to be able to beat any of the remaining teams at home.
I cannot believe that the Catalan tactics against us would be those they used last night.
I'd select the Dragons for reasons I mentioned elsewhere repeated by others on here. Travelling for 4 successive weeks has to disrupt preparation and eventually catch up with them.
Plus it has the undeniable ;ogic that this is what would have happened without the club call.
We may not agree with the concept but it hasn't half generated some debate so for that reason alone it could be termed a resounding success.

I think Nathan Brown talks rubbish a lot of the time. I can remember at the beginning of the season he came out with words to the effect of 'Every superlaegue coach when giving an interview always talks about how Huddersfield are a dirty team, regardless of whether they are plalying us or not, just to get Huddersfield in trouble.'

I dont listen to anything he says anymore!!!

Kindly stop referring to the Catalans by using derogatory ethnic slurs.

Would you prefer Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys????

No surprises that you, a now known borderline racist see that as acceptable.

Oh shut up bleating and lighten up a bit you tart.

We'll see, remember rosbeef we're not french, we're CATALANS, if you want fight with us, we'll don't move backwards...good luck baby!

You have to remember that Danny has joined the ranks of the French hanger on gang.

Leader CMR, so once again Danny fails to become anything else other that someone elses Butt Plug, its tragic but hey you do what you have to do and in his case if that involves being a kiss ass French groupie then so be it.

Surely we have to choose Catalan for no other reason than they are the lowest ranked team left. McClennan then uses the "we were always going to choose the lowest seed" line.

A total no-brainer , it will be the Dragons , easily the weakest choice of whats left . Leeds would have smashed them last night , a woeful Huddersfield actually made these turkeys look good ! The only way they will make OT is if Leeds dont turn up and that wont happen .. Dragons next Friday and the Rhinos by plenty ...

Leeds sucks.

Has to be Les Frogs, with hopefully Wigan and Saints knocking 7 bells out of each other.

leeds will pick KR

Presuming KR win.

maybe not

Wigan on their way to the Stains next week then......

If Wigan win tonight, there's more chance of Elvis selling Cod 'n' Chips in the Fish shop down the road than Hetherington picking the Pies next week,.

Leeds v Catalans, FRI
Saints v Wigan, SAT

put it in your diary folks

Wigan are smashing KR, lets throw caution to the wind and get ahead of ourselves, so lets pressume its:

Leeds vs Catalans

Saints vs Wigan ( surely Leeds will avoid Wigan! )

What will the outcome of the Saints v Wigan game be?

I predict Leeds vs Wigan finale!

I predict Leeds will it.

Leeds huge favourites now imo.
