From a Leeds perspective, a Saints - Wigan semi would do me nicely. I suspect the winner of that game would be more drained for the final than if they'd had a less emotional run-out against us or Hudds.

I think you have the best chance of getting to O/T if you play Leeds away.

In fact I'll stick my neck out and say if you play Leeds you will beat them.
If you play the Giants then it would be 50/50 & too close to call.
If you play Wigan they will beat you

Wow never seen the Wigan board so quiet

Not fussed. Provided we are fit, committed and kick well I'm confident.

If we don't - all bets are off.

Leeds continue to lose their key men.Stevie Ward (his defence in the middle to cover for Burrow at hooker was immense) last night to add to Sutcliffe and Aiton. It gets tougher and tougher but your lads managed it last year.....so bring it on.

Anything but having to endure apeman's gloating....pleeeease

Leeds showed fantastic character last night although Hudds fluffed it a bit. With the injuries particularly to Aiton, they are a different beast to the one that was ripping it up most of the season. I think we'll go there with a lot of belief. Just hope it's not a fairytale finish for Sinfield and Peacock.

Tough draw but winning it is going to mean beating Leeds for anyone at some stage. The winner of the GF will come from our semi. I reckon all would have wanted Hudds as a preference but there's nothing to fear from Wigan either. Saints beat them pretty regularly recently and they struggle scoring points against us.

I'd have been very confident had we had either of the other two. Leeds we'll be underdogs but I still give us a good chance.

Definately the draw I wanted for Leeds. If we lose to Saints then I hope it's a final v Huddersfield. Another year with an empty trophy cabinet at the DW will do nicely.

Felt safer backing West Ham to beat Manchester City than this tie, never underestimate Leeds injuries or not! as long as The Best side on the night, special night for Leeds fans with the last match for Sinfield and Peacock, they have both done the game proud, will never forget the last match for Paul Sculthorpe. May the Best Team Win!
