| Not particularly bothered who wins it, don't have a bias for or against any of the teams left other than Catalans, but then they're not going to win it anyway. It's out of Warrington, Saints & Wigan.
Personally I think Warrington will win it.

| I'd be happy to see some one new lift the trophy but think it will be a Saints Wigan final.

| The fabulous and mighty Wigan Warriors.
I love watching ruck & wrestle coupled with a dose of 'crock the opposition's key men' from the Cannonball Kings. Followed by post match interviews from Wayne's World

| can't see past Wigan.
They are clincal in the small, basic, details. All down to ethic, line speed, plenty in tackle. May not look pretty but they are playing to their strength.
Wire may come up on blind side though.

I think it does look good to watch. when they defend they take real pride in aggression. Quick linespeed, men in the tackle. Thats a joy to watch.
When the attack, they attack from deep with dummy runners, and use the whole width of the pitch. That is also a joy to watch.

| Wigan are definitely favourites now but they were against Cas in the cup and managed only 4 points. They play at their best then they will but it only takes one poor showing (even just a poor half) for it to go wrong.
It's how they deal with favourites tag. Probably the strongest favourites with 6 teams left we've ever had.

Agree with this but:
Didn't Stains always get the favorites tag when they came up against Leeds?Never did them any good as I recall.

They were well beaten by the Roosters in the WCC earlier this season but played well. There were periods in that game (particularly 2nd half) when they didn't look out of place against the NRL side and gave as good as they got. They ran certain angles which had even Phil Gould admiring some of their play.
I think any other SL club may well have got done by 50 points or more.

| Out of the team's left, I have no issue with any of them. I'd like to see Cas win it, but I can't see it happening. They've had a real tilt at two trophies already, on a relatively thin squad and (I hope I'm wrong) I think the play-offs are a bridge too far for them.
Wigan and Wire (in that order) look like they are in the best form. I think Wigan are favourites for good reason.

| Before the play offs started, I'd have said wigan were the likeliest winners. However, wire are going about their business quietly and efficiently. They have a point to prove after last year's final and I've a feeling wigan might be in for a nasty shock this week.

I'm starting to get that feeling too.Unlike the last few years when they were expected to win it but failed, it seems they have been writen off a little this time as contenders but if you look around their team they still have the players to get the job done against anyone in SL despite no Briers. Whoever wins this game should really go on and take the trophy.
