Paranoia. It's an all too common trait in this sport, sadly.

Huddersfield never qualified last season to be able to turn it down. Warrington got the place on merit as the 3rd ranked time (highest league placed losing semifinalist). Many people (myself incorrectly to being with) took "3rd" as the team who finished 3rd in the regular season table but the RFL never said that. They always said "3rd placed team". Given that first and second is dictated by the GF then the logic in the end stacked up.

Huddersfield declined to take part in it, Warrington were then invited instead.

well that's the party line anyway.

wait for the confusion again this time round

they dont make it easy the rfl when they leave the door open for the teams to be changed!

hudds didnt want to pay the £180k bond last time or they didnt feel it was worth taking part in as there was nothing to win. Bit of both i think!

Judging by your previous post on this subject it doesn't take much to confuse you...The RFL don't want anyone apart from Leeds Saints Warrington or Wigan yet Huddersfield were invited but turned it down so Warrington got a chance......right

Ha! This will be one of those rlfans moments where someone has been made to look silly so they don't reply hoping it'll go away
