It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

| Quote: WireWireWire "The chance of the treble, Kevin Sinfield's last ever game for Leeds, he's been captain since he was 20 years old. That is some going. Jamie Peacock and Kylie's last games ever period. Facing perhaps the toughest test for you guys in a GF for quite some time. One that has a very real possibility of you losing. Your first GF in three years. It's definitely a biggie. Even as an outsider I can feel the tension you all have this time around. It's going to be an absolute belter and I'll be in your corner (literally) come kick off.'"
Don't disagree with try that but its worth noting that we've rarely been the favourites going into a grand final.

| For me the success of this team is based on professionalism and focus, epitomised by Sinfield. If the treble can be won it will be won and if it's lost it won't be through lack of effort.. I think that the game is winnable but we face the other best team in the competition and they will provide us with a stern test. I feel more nervous about this game than I have about any other. Thinking about why that is, I have come to the conclusion that it is because I would desperately like to see what is the end of an era, marked by the winning of the treble. But win or lose, this has been a phenomenal team that have given us a decade of being truly competitive with a sack full of trophies to prove it. Hopefully they will finish this superb season with one more win and send the retirees off on a high. It will be a great game for the neutrals and will further raise the profile of RL. But what ever the result and who ever lifts the trophy, this has been a great season and this is a great team. COME ON YOU RHINOS !!!

| I'm usually pessimistic about the chances of any team I support winning, but this year my other team Yorkshire CCC has blitzed all before it to the point where I now expect them to win. My head says Wigan but my heart says The Rhinos.
However, it's two all between us this year & in terms of points scored its 87-85 in favour of the Rhinos. Yes, we may be somewhat beaten up but we're battle hardened. We've won the games we needed to win. The one game Wigan needed to win vs Saints they came up short. We then beat Saints shortly after.
So to make Wigan strong favourites is misguided.
I hope we're not talking about debatable decisions after the game.
I'm predicting a Leeds win by 7.
Got all my lucky clothes ready, having fish & chips for lunch so I'll have done everything I can to produce a Rhinos win.
I can't wait.

| Win or lose tonight it's been a great season and much better than many of us predicted at the beginning of the year.
What Sinfield, peacock and Kylie have done for our club cannot be underestimated and is much bigger than just one game tonight.

| I started to support Leeds just after the 1957 Cup win. Since then there have been many highs and lows and I have learnt not to expect victory when we are favorites and not to give up hope when we are not. If we are to win tonight then I believe this would be our greatest victory in my experience because of several factors.
To go into a final against a fully fit and inform Wigan would always be a difficult task with odds no better than 50/50 but to do so lacking 3 front line forwards (Ward, JJB and Aiton) and in addition Sutcliffe too is something of a handicap. However our last two games have given a timely reminder that we should never give up hope particularly with this group of players.
Our players will have plenty of motivation tonight because of the desire for Kev, JP and Kylie to retire on a high but this alone will not be enough to lift the trophy. We will still need a good disciplined game plan and be able to produce enough attacking flair to penetrate the Wigan defence.
If we do put in a winning performance to make it an historic treble then this must go down as the Club's very best achievement.
I hope it is a really good game of rugby and not spoilt by controversial decisions or bad errors and may the best team win.

| Supported the club since early 80's. Seen some crap in that time. Really looking forward to the game. Win or lose I will enjoy the game, and give 3 legends of the clubs a good send off. I tend not to get too heated anymore at games, try and treat them as what it is, entertainment. Mainly since I had kids I take the result as they come.
If we win will be the greatest moment

| It's a strange one today, for the first time it really feels like the result doesn't matter, obviously we would all like to win but most just want a good game and a big effort.

| I'd say so...and I've been a supporter since 1978.
This IS truly a hugely significant match because it is the end of an ERA with the retirement from the game of such illustrious greats. It would be a fitting way for them to bow out with another win for the rewards they have given all us supporters for all of these trophy winning seasons; after so many many years (let's not forget) of being the big but only nearly club.
At the same time we can still all surely forgive them a loss.
Whatever the outcome this set of players with these three great servants playing their last ever game should be given rapturous applause - and I'm sure they will be.

| Well done Leeds, that never say die spirit was certainty evident when Wigan got in front in the second half, great game for us neutrals, imagine tortuous for both set of fans.
