Assuming you win this weekend, would you rather travel to Saints (the hoodoo) or Leeds (revenge mission)?

Saints!

I admire your bottle



Surely a Leeds tema missing Peacock and McGuire gives you a better chance of the GF? Is beating Saints more important than making the GF?

Would rather play at Saints because its easier to get too but im sick of the sight of KR especially the mud after the game due to it always raining haha. So would not mind Leeds as the ground is better and we would have slightly more chance of winning. However (dreaming a little here) it would be nice to close down KR with a win finally

This doesn't make sense, as if we beat Saints we'd be in the Grand Final!

Only those with a mini vendetta against Saints would probably want us to go back to KR. Personally, I think its absolutely nuts!

The logical choice is definately Leeds. As would be Saints choosing to play Wire if that oppurtunity comes.

Then again, Hull kr and Hudds will have a lot to say about that. I do feel as though Wigan are wobbling a bit, and if KR turn up Friday, it'll be a lot closer than most people are probably anticipating. Especially if things aren't going Wigan's way!

As for us, well, its a tricky one. I'd fully expect us to win. But this is the last chance to get it right, and as much faith as I have in our current team, you can't rule out an upset.

All very interesting.

It makes perfect sense.

Given you recent result against Leeds and the subsequent injury to McGuire, coupled with your record against Saints, everything suggests a game against Leeds would make your route to the GF easier.

Going against that and wanting Saints suggests that getting that elusive win at KR is more important than an "easier" route to the GF.

I understood. Its about getting to the final. End of!

And prefering to try and change an atrocious run of results against a particular team around just to almost live out your mini fantasy, rather than play a team you schlonged at Wembley recently, is crazy stuff!!!

Given as choice, it'd be Leeds every time.

Would love to beat Saints, but it's all about getting to the final and although Leeds are a good team, our record against them is better than against Saints.

Although looking at the weather forecast it's down as dry, so Saints may not be as much of a challenge as we think.

Didn't realise it had rained for 16 years



Pure theatre in a couple of weeks if Wigan and Wire win through.

From clubcall (do you risk the hoodoo against back to back cup winners or try to right the wrong of losing the last derby at KR?) to the game itself, it's going to be MASSIVE! Can't wait, nervous already!

Saints because Leeds have been GF winners for the last 3 years for a reason! Plus would I rather get beat by Saints at OT or KR... KR everytime coz I've got used to it now!!

Why is it bottle? Leeds have just beat (statistcly) the best team in the competition on their own ground. Leeds are also (statistcly) play off specialists. Write Leeds off all you like, but the added spice of a backside slapping at Wembley might just spur them on to another winners ring.

It just has the added bonus of my personal vendetta against St Helens, I'll make no apologies, but i f*cking hate Saints!

We have no say in the matter, so pointless thread. You just want us to say we'd rather go to Headingly.

I'll take one for the team..."We'd rather play Leeds because St Helens are soooooo good!"

Now jack off back to your own board nugget.

I'll go where Saints send us. Not fussed either way. It's more of a question of who YOU want to face, not who WE want to face.

It made sense to me.

Saints.

I'll be happy if we are one of Saints options regardless of their choice.

Correct, that's all that matters

How are your injuries - were the Higham and Hicks absences short term (can't remember the reasons)?

Not to me. I'll be absolutely gutted if we're an option and Saints don't choose us. For that reason alone I want Wigan to win on Friday as I would expect Saints to choose the lowest ranked team which from those currently remaining is Hull KR.

I'm not saying we will definitely win the last game at Knowsley Road (in fact they'll be odds-on for very obvious reasons) but I'm absolutely desperate for the opportunity to attempt to.

Should have ended my post with "to me".

I always say a weekly round loss to Saints means nothing if we end up with a trophy at the end of the season.

Which sounds better? Beating the defending champions to reach a grand final, or beating the defending runners up?

I would hope Saints would pick us. Get one more crack them and to break this stupid hoodoo infront of there own fans plus there's a bonus of knocking them out of the play offs on there own turf

how ever i know people are saying Leeds will be the easiest but after watching them last night im really not sure.

But like i said i would play Saints, if we get beat again then we get beat if its a win its a bonus but the one thing i will not like is if we get them in the final and they beat us, we wont hear the last of it from them.


But we have to get past Huddersfield first.

We'll play Saints if we beat Hudds
we'll beat Saints then beat Wigan in the final.

Saints. Next.

Saints. One win there in the final game would wipe away every pain from previous losses. A defeat would just feel like it normally does, win win situation.
