There's been very little to choose between the sides the last 3 years.

There's loads of reasons for Saints to want this one and there's loads of reasons for us.

Frankly, I have no idea which way it will go but am looking forward eagerly to watching it all unfold.

People call give all the awards they like to s[ihi[/it teams and s[ihi[/it players, can talk all the way about other teams catching us up but Leeds vs Saints remains the benchmarks and whichever way the game goes if all SL contests were played with the same intensity of Leeds vs Saints matches the league would be in a very healthy state right now.

It's going to be incredibly tough.

Saints have got a big performance in them.

If we aren't at our best for the 80 we'll lose.

It was not they didn't do in those 5 or so minutes it's what they did around them. They were brutal in their defence and as hard going forward for a lot of the game. Yet we still managed to come through. In the 5 or so minutes as you call it we managed to put enough points on them to put us clear. Then we stood toe to toe with them. Like i said going into the final battle hardened should serve us well and the Catalans made sure of that.
