Quote: CM Punk "Honestly, I think Leeds are the side least likely to win the cup this year. They seem to have some kind of mental block in the CC final. 6 Cup Final defeats in a row for them, and tied for most final defeats of any club.'"
I think that's pushing it a little bit with Widnes still in (no disrespect to them btw they've done well this year but I wouldn't put them above Leeds).
Interesting, our last few cracks in CC Finals we've not had the defence. Wire eased 30 past us in 2010 and 2012 and Wigan got over a few times in the first 30 minutes in 2011.
The defence is miles better this year. Even last week when we were woeful vs Wire we only conceded 24. Years gone past that would've been 40+. Also getting Burrow and Aiton back at hooker will make a big difference to us.
