| I'm a Wire fan and don't think there is any areogance or disrespect in this, it must have been an extremely hard choice to make but given Leeds haven't lost a sudden death play-off game since 2010 surely you can see why the choice might have been made. I've got a lot of time for your guys and if you do beat us on Thursday I'll certainly want you to win the final.

| It's not the fact that you chose us that shows arrogance - it was the flippant comment by your CEO.

| Why all the bulls@@t from Wire? The CE came across as either an arrogant individual who thinks along with their board that we are easy picking and should be beaten or he was covering for Tony Smith who didn't have the balls to admit he picked us as he thinks they've got a better chance of beating us.
Either way it looks as if Wire are afraid of Leeds and are probably hoping that Wigan put them out to increase their chance of GF glory. With this they'll have got us fired up along with a big ego boost and pat on the back to Leeds. They've avoided another knockout game with them, which looks from the outside that they thought they would probably lose.

| Psychology works both ways; some of your players now are probably worrying that they are not good enough as they are seen as being part of the weakest team and a team that has been well beaten three times already this season.

| Loving the irony of Huddersfield fans calling others arrogant.
Since you lot topped the table, you've been so far up yourselves that you needed to open your mouth to take a s***.
As for Durham Giant's comments; I expected nothing less. He's a moron of the highest order. Brings most of your other decent fans down with his inane comments.

| Quote ="sally cinnamon"Calm down fellas, this isn't about disrespect, this is the rational decision given the two options.
These were the factors in the mix:
1. Of the two options, Hudds or Leeds, Hudds are the better side. They finished 5 points ahead of them in the league table and also beat them three times this season. Also Hudds have just steamrollered Hull and are flying in confidence, Leeds scraped past Saints - a good performance, but have less recovery time and a few injuries.
This means if Warrington's goal was to maximise chances of making Old Trafford, Leeds would be the rational choice. However we made Old Trafford last year so getting there isn't a prize for us any more, only winning it is a prize.
2. Hudds are also a better side than Wigan. They finished 7 points ahead in the league table and beat them home and away in the league. Admittedly they lost the playoff there, but due to the playoff format that was the fixture that had least consequences of all the three meetings.
The last six times Hudds have been to Wigan have seen Hudds win 5 and Wigan win 1. So on the balance of probabilities if we chose Leeds and sent Hudds to Wigan the likely winners were Hudds.
So this means that for Warrington to win at Old Trafford we more than likely had to beat Huddersfield, who are the most in form team. Either we had to beat them at Halliwell Jones or at Old Trafford. Our probabilities of beating Hudds at home are higher (where we have won 5 out of the last 6 meetings) than doing it on a neutral ground.
If Hull had beaten Hudds then the rational decision to maximise chances of winning at Old Trafford would have switched to Leeds, as Leeds would be the bigger threat, but again on balance with us winning 4 out of the last 6 against Leeds at home, that would have been the best place to take them on, as that would have meant probably facing Wigan in the final if we won, and Wigan is the team out of all the options that we have the best recent record against.'"
Super post.

| I said before our game you'd get selected via the club call system because you just don't hold that fear factor that a side like Leeds do.
Wire haven't been arrogant here, they've made the right decision for their side and supporters. I expect it to fire Huddesfield up and you'll go out all guns blazing but even that won't be enough. Warrington are comfortably the better side IMO and they'll win on Thursday and in the Grand Final.

Yes Warrington are afraid of Leeds a team we have beaten in two out of three fixtures this season. Yes whatever.
It is just a choice, we had to choose someone. It will have little bearing, whoever plays the best on the day will win.

I would say the same about Huddersfield I always had a lot of respect for them but after reading about fans wishing out players injured so they can't play at OT if we get there is beyond banter

Probably not many and a low key atmosphere for such a big game could play into our hands.

Dont think anyone would just some of our fans get so defensive and try to fight back at comments without thinking.

How pathetic
If I were you, or any Wire fan, I'd stop spouting crap like this, I'd be afraid, very, very afraid. Tony Smith has just made the worst decision of his life
Roll on Thursday, can't wait
