IF wires and wigan get through to semi, who do u think they will pick?

Makes sense from their perpective to pick us; our record speaks for itself.

However, on a night with good/dry conditions we should be much more dangerous than last week!

Thoughts....

i think injury hit leeds

Hull KR. Think they'll beat Wigan.

They can't pick Leeds...

oh ok.... erm.. not leeds then.

i hope they pick us anyway.

If it is us and Wigan - I think they could pick Wigan - on paper the harder game for them - so would be better playing them at their place, on thier ground, infront of mainly their supporters, on thier terms, instead of a neutral ground, equal numbers etc etc- and I guess, as deffinately their last ever home game, it's a bigger final game v Wigan than us!

But, if I was them, I'd pick us and take your chances against Wigan in the final, because whoever they don't pick should beat Leeds, even at thier place!!

Not sure tbh. Would they pick the winners out of Wigan and Hull KR to deny us a win at KR in 14 years.

There isnt a shadow of a doubt that they will pick u lot. However it would be awesome if u bt them for the first time time ever at KR in SL, which i think you may well do.

I actually think they might pick Wigan. They have just lost three Grand Finals in a row and will be a bit jittery about Old Trafford. Wigan are the strongest team that they will have to face so given that they have one pick at home they would be better to take them at home - they will win, in the last ever game at KR which will be so right to be against Wigan, and then they will either have a fourth consecutive final against Leeds - but a depleted Leeds which will give them chance for revenge, or they could hope for us to despatch Leeds like we did in the Challenge Cup final, and then they can breathe easier at Old Trafford.

Obviously if Hull KR or Hudds win this weekend then that throws a spanner in the works.

Which is pretty much what I said - so I agree!

Should Rovers beat wigan they'll be the pick, otherwise it will be the winner of our game.

Unless there is some 'freak' situation whereby wigan, for example, win the game but finish with both Thompkins* brothers, Pat Richards and Sean O'Laughlin injured and out of the next game, it would be madness to pick any team other than the lowest team available!

Saints WILL pick the lowest ranked opposition. It's set in stone.

If Wigan and Wire win their games we will definitely pick Wire.

Agreed, it's the common sense thing to do. However, if HKR or Hudds get a victory at the weekend then Saints will play one of them instead.

I'm not sure. The whole Wigan winning the Derby there thing might get under their skin. Plus they're the easier opponent (forgetting the hoodoo for a second) ad it sets them up for a peach of a final with the mighty Wire (A final i am sure that they will be sure of sure victory) or they get a rematch with leeds after taking out the two biggest stumbling blocks and they can attone for being god awful the past three times they tried.

Potter will pick the lowest placed side and if us and Wigan both win, then it will be us.

Dont care as long as we beat Hudds

I expect them to pick the lowest ranked side.

It better be us.

Saints have started selling tickets for the semi final (obviously without naming any competition) for FRIDAY night. Rhinos site have them playing Saturday evening. Come 1.15pm Sunday we will find out where and when we are playing (assuming that we havent had our fate confirmed Saturday night!)

everyteam that has the clubcall will always pick the lowest placed team to come through as leeds did last year. the trend has been set.

If HKR beat Wigan and Wire beat Hudds we will pick HKR,without a shadow of a doubt.

I hope you do, i really wanted saints in the 1st final of the year challenge cup,
so now i will settle for saints in the other final of the year instead.

If that continues then it might as well be scrapped. I quite like the idea but if no team has the gonads to try and use it to their advantage then.....

Can you image though if us and Hull KR get through? Saints pick Hull KR and get knocked out. Given our record against them the fans will be giving the bosses stick for that for years!

I love it when wire fans starting shouting their mouths off, u have to beat shudds yet and that aint gonna be easy,you won the challenge cup fair and square but u peaked that day its all down hill now, evidenced by the performance against Saints.

In terms of your record v the rhinos it is less than impressive in super league it begars believe you are so confident the final will be between two of saints,wigan or wire, you need to temper your arrogance as neither wire nor wigan are clear certainties for the grand final as yet, how many games did you beat the rhinos in during super league A BIG FAT ZERO home or away get real.

PS Enjoy next season as it will probably be Mr Smiths last he very rarely stays at a club longer than three years, Th rihins were the exception with 4 years, that will be the tes of how good the squad is when you get an average coach in afterwards
