Thus Saints would have club call and a choice of any of the others bar Leeds who have now also earned themselves a home tie?

Am I right in thinking that Wigan, even if they win next week, have forfeited home advantage in the semi's?

Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.

Yep
Saints and Leeds will have home advantage
Saints have the club call and can only pick from the winners of next weeks ties, they cant pick Leeds
A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance.
He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas.
And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.

I dont envy McManus & Potter that decision. Will be interesting to see who they pick.
If Wigan & Wire win i would pick Wigan, with any luck they will choke again
if 1 of the other teams win I would pick 1 of them

Based on recent form, I don't think Wigan consider home an advantage

Wigan have been to both grounds and won already this year. We have to overcome HKR even to be chosen, and that will be difficult. Moreover Wire have to beat an in form and talented Giants team.
Generally, Wigan - Leeds and Saints - Wire games seem to produce classics, so if I were a neutral I would enjoy a repeat.

I find Leeds-Wire to be generally great matches (barring CC final)

Whilst I'm not against the club call in principle I think it practise it won't work. I'd be very surprised if the team making the club call did anything other than pick the lowest placed side still in the competition. Saints aren't going to pick Wigan over Wire if that is what the two line ups are. Wigan have just finished top of the league. In the same way they won't pick Wire over Hull KR if they pulled off an upset.
It would be great motivation for say Wigan if they were picked and it would come across as cocky. If it didn't come off they would end up looking stupid. The least controversial thing to do is to pick what it would be in the first place.

Can't see that being a problem. The only question is by how much. Somewhere between 20 and 60 points I reckon.
If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.

Nonsense.
Saints have stuffed Hull KR in their last two games. They'd definitely pick them!
