Sun 11th May: CCSF: Warrington Wolves v Leigh Leopards KO 16:15 
(at Totally Wicked Stadium, St Helens) (BBC)

[Harry Stottle]

Well I will start off by putting the mockers on Leigh to win by 10 to 16 points.

[Thunder Road]

Haven't a clue how this will go as I'm not sure who's actually going to start.

 

I will keep my powder dry until squads announced. 

 

Warrington are slight favourites on sky bet...

[Loiner]

Wouldn't be surprised to see either team win but I do fancy Leigh. That's probably put the mockers on them sorry.

[Luke HKR]

Leigh by 6. 

 

Warrington not having either Syned or Williams the main reason.

I couldn't help myself so had another flutter for Leigh to win between 21-30 at 16 to 1.

A win is required though and the best of luck to both sides. Whoever wins this tie i hope wins the cup.

[sweaty craiq]

Either team would take a 1 point win, and it may be that close

[StandOffHalf]

Wire 16-12

[Wilderspoolmemories]

I'm not as confident as I might have been had we been able to play Williams, Sneyd, King and Walker. 

It'll be a close one and I think we'll pinch it by 2. 

We'll have to keep an eye on the Wire old boys of which there are plenty in the Leigh team. They'll be out to beat us to prove a point I feel.

Seen some suggestions that Sneyd and King will both play?

Already done that Wilders!

[Father Ted]

Warrington will have too much pace for Leigh, Wire by 12.

King has a very small chance of playing.   Sneyd, no.

Apart from Dufty (and maybe Ashton if he returns) I can't see Warrington outpacing Leigh.   Our best chance is to close them down and be patent enough to capitalise on the few chances we'll get on their try line.   Last week gives a bit of hope though.

Sneyd in the squad, King and Ashton as well.

All good players. Wire need them and fair play to all of them if they are willing to put their bodies on the line and risk it all for a final 

[phiggins]

Armstrong, Hanley, Hughes and Tuitivake all named in the Leigh squad.

While all the talk is about Armstrong, I'd keep Hodgson in for this week. Hopefully the two forwards are fit to play because we had some middles running on fumes at the end of the Catalans game, and we played with 16 men for 79 and half mins of the game.

Aye what was all that about, why pick two forwards on the bench if they aren't going to be used?

Well once again I'm looking at not bothering even watching these on telly and having gone from watching every match available to hardly watching RL at all is weird but unavoidable.

OK. Didn't think we needed to post if we weren't watching a game.

I realised  that was why so I sent you a PM and if you have a side in the semis all the best!

Is it the uninspiring stadium choices that leaves you feeling apathetic, Oxford?

Why does a stadium choice need to be inspiring? 

They've chosen a large, modern stadium which can easily accommodate the season ticket holders of both clubs, within 10 miles of both clubs. It's an ideal stadium choice.

Yes, it's fine by me. 

I was just wondering as to the reason for Oxford's apparent lack of interest in these two games. I was more thinking of the other stadium selected.

Let's see if Oxford cares to respond and elaborate.

This is the Leigh v Warrington match thread Harry.
